As stated by other reviews, this is a the best lodging in Illinois. I recommend it.
BTW, anyone who rates this B&B with less than 5 stars is someone who has not been offered accommodation in this inn. Everything is more than perfect...

We loved this B&B . We loved the location and the lovely morning breakfast. We loved the fact that Akademika is a house built in 1924, nicely upgraded by Gloria and her husband to give it a lot of character. We attended a seminar that was held in the Illini Union. From Akademika, everything was in walking distance and the B&B itself is on ...

This is one B&B that you can trust over and over again to be nothing but top notch and very clean. My family always stays here; it is a very friendly place with excellent breakfast. It is right in the heart of campus so that there is no need for taxis. Also, it is in the most expensive part of town and where all high class U of I professors ...

Wonderful location for University of Illinois visitors. Everyone in the house (Gloria, her ...

Beautiful place, great stay, nice people, delicious and abundant breakfast...Before making reservation at this B&B, my U of I daughter managed to put me in contact with some parents of her friends who had stayed in Akademika more than once. I've never been in any B&B in US before and I did not know what to expect. After sending a ...

Do not believe everything reviews say about Akademika, it is twice as good.
Great place, fantastic hospitality, nice owners, the best breakfast. I was treated like a king. Highly recommended.

If you read the other reviews on this site then you know what to expect.
I came here for my son's graduation and while I can't say Urbana-Champaign is a very exciting place to be (my son says it needs a theme park) I found the inn to be located very near the graduation ceremony and near the university campus.
I only really expected a bagel ...
