For example, if you choose the Suite room, which is very big with three beds and can easily accommodate 4 people in one room, you only need to pay $56/day with a 30% discount on the public rate ($80/day), which means only $14/day per person. If you want to accommodate more people in the room, this rate will be even lower. This is a great solution to your temporary housing needs, regardless if you are a newcomer to the Urbana Champaign area trying to find a long-term rental situation, or you are just here for a few days visiting, or you simply need a room to stay between leases.
