ACCOMMODATIONS
There are several places to stay in the Champaign/Urbana area, including hotels, Airbnb, VBRO, and bed and breakfasts. Almost everything in the Champaign-Urbana area is an easy and quick commute from the ceremony and reception venues.
We do not have any room blocks as there are numerous hotel and accommodation options and many different preferences. You may be able to find the best options and rates for hotels by visiting one of the many hotel booking websites (hotels.com, expedia, hotwire, orbitz, etc.). There should be plenty of options available.
We have listed some options below with notes and estimated prices, but you are welcome to stay anywhere in the area! Reach out to either Mike or Melissa if you have questions about the location.

TRAVEL
Willard Airport
Willard Airport is a small regional airport closest to our area.
Bloomington Normal Airport Authority
Bloomington has a nice regional airport and is just under an hour away. (Plus this is Mike's hometown)
Indianapolis International Airport
Indianapolis is another airport and is just under 2 hours away and would most likely require a rental car.
O'Hare International Airport
O'Hare is about 2.5 hours north of Urbana-Champaign (by car). If you fly into this airport you can arrange transportation through a rental car, one of the charter buses (such as Peoria Charter or Express Air Coach), or Amtrack (would require going to downtown Chicago to Union Station - either by the blue line "L" or you could Uber).
