This was a wonderful lodging experience during a professional visit to the University of Illinois. Sylvia is very nice, even nicer than her fictional version, Celia, in Orly Castel-Bloom's wonderful story "Avodah" (work). The two dogs are also cute!

We stayed at Sylvia's Irish Inn on our way home from visiting family. It was small, cozy, and comfortable. We met a wonderful family from Chicago who were attending Sylvia's music camp. Sylvia has invited my son to come and play a house concert (he's a violinist) and she would pay him! Sylvia was great, the breakfast was marvelous (peach... More

I loved staying at Sylvia's Irish Inn Bead and Breakfast aka Lindley House. Sylvia bends over backwards to serve a meal everyone likes. When I was there she made a special breakfast for a woman on a very restricted diet. Sylvia aims to please. She also loves having a B&B and genuinely enjoys the people she meets. The location is...

I stayed in this B&B because the other B&B where I stayed before could not accommodate me during the week I visited UC. The owner , Sylvia, is nice but she cooks eggs all the time. The rooms are very small and the WI-Fi has many problems. The house is very old and it is difficult to sleep with the... More

I stayed in this B&B while attending a conference, and it was great. The owners were charming and very hospitable. The room was spotless and pleasant. Free WiFI is always a bonus. Breakfast was delicious. Conveniently, this B&B is located about 10 minutes of leisurely walk away from the campus of U of I. The neighborhood is very pleasant and... More

Probably the cleanest B&B in Urbana. Sylvia is an immaculate housekeeper and solicitous hostess. This place is hard to beat! For me, the bottom line is the bed, and mine was super comfy.

Just checked out of this cozy and immaculate Bed and Breakfast after a long weekend with family. Sylvia and her family are very welcoming. They keep this beautifully furnished B and B immaculate. Sylvia makes an excellent breakfast and is ready to help out whenever she can. The location is superb for exploring some of the prettiest neighborhoods in this... More

Awful B&B! I am writing now from another bed and breakfast, where I learned what I real breakfast is! All I ate at Lindley House was cold sausages and rubbery eggs.

Found this fantastic B&B on Trip Advisor. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the hosts are incredibly gracious. 4 blocks from the University. Sylvia is an outstanding cook - be sure and sample her orange pancakes for breakfast! Wireless internet, TV's with cable in the rooms and a beautiful patio in the back yard. Very clean, highly recommended. Also,... More
