“This was a great choice for our family”

This was a great choice. The hotel is located in a quiet semi-industrial area, car dealership on one side, big Menards just down the road, not far from the Interstate, but very little road noise. It hit the high points that frequently annoy us about other places: (1) Our room was clean, well-lit and fresh, not stale; (2) The water pressure in the shower was appropriate; (3) The breakfast area was clean and fresh, and the TV noise was very muted; (4) There is a lot of green space around the property, which is good for a family like ours, traveling with two big - and lovable - dogs; (5) The parking lot was well-lit and well maintained, with access to side doors. We always check the emergency exits and stairwells, and they were clean and well-lit, too. All staff members were consistently friendly. All the common areas appeared clean and there was no odor of dog or anything like that. Well done; no hesitation in recommending this place to others.

“Excellent”

Really closer to four and a half stars than to five, but I'm being generous in how I break the tie today. Several good things going for this. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a lot more variety than the typical chain hotel breakfast -- ours even had tasty chicken carnitas and potato pancakes, which made me happy. The rooms themselves are clean and well laid out. The two-bedroom suite was just ideal for us; the kitchen area was very convenient and it was a lot less expensive than having to get two rooms to lodge our family, which we often have to do at hotels that lack such suites. The bathrooms are divided into parts so that one person can use the shower room while the other is using the sink. Little things like that make a difference. The hotel was also quiet and well-maintained. If I had one minor complaint it was that the bed was quite soft, which meant that I felt every slight movement and vibration emanating from my spouse. My sleep was a little fitful as a result. But other than that, have only good things to say about this hotel.

“Wonderful room and hospitality”

We stayed two nights in April for the total eclipse. I think they were fully booked and I was expecting chaos. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised with a wonderful, comfortable stay.

We stayed two nights in April for the total eclipse. I think they were fully booked and I was expecting chaos. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised with a wonderful, comfortable stay. The two ladies working at the desk (so sorry that I don’t remember their names) were so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They were genuinely excited that we were there for the eclipse and were happy to provide information on restaurants and answer our questions. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. It was fantastic to have a full-size refrigerator and freezer since we brought a cooler full of food for our road trip. Breakfast was great, and the people working kept up with the crowd very well. We really appreciated feeling welcomed during this crazy time for Bloomington! I will note that this is a dog-friendly hotel, and there were several dogs and some barking. It did not bother me, but it’s something to be aware of if you do not like dogs.

“Extra amenity!!”

This hotel is in a very quiet area 1 exit down from shopping and restaurants. Staff was very kind and professional. The b-fast was never really busy and crazy like some places. Waffles/ eggs/ shredded pork and tortillas. NO Gluten free stuff. The 2 computers they have one is trash monitor is 90%… more

This hotel is in a very quiet area 1 exit down from shopping and restaurants. Staff was very kind and professional. The b-fast was never really busy and crazy like some places. Waffles/ eggs/ shredded pork and tortillas. NO Gluten free stuff. The 2 computers they have one is trash monitor is 90% blacked out and the other computer never loads the websites one needs. Rooms are spacious but this is where the ratings fall. My wife found an open box that once contained a strap-on in my daughters dresser. I can't make this up. Staff needs to take their time and go through all drawers and places where paper and trash hides. Rooms needed to be more thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed. The TV's are not smart TV so no Netflix etc. One must pay $10 to view a movie that you cannot stop and continue later. Management needs to over see more often and give staff more help to take their time and catch the little things.
