The bed wasn't comfortable, the shower was warm not hot. No matter how high you turned it. Air worked great. Breakfast had make your own waffles, which we always love.
Im retired military and have stayed all over the world. I don't know how but I slept better here than just about any other hotel. Incredibly quiet, pet friendly, breakfast was impressive for what I'm used to, and location was perfect! I'm going to be returning here and this is my go to budget spot for Bloomington/Normal.
This hotel needs a good cleaning, new ceiling tiles (Moldy), carpet replacement (wet), and better breakfast service. The staff were very kind, but the hotel is in disrepair.

Inexpensive, I accidentally stayed there twice. First time was notable because staff member walked into the room while I was nude and tub would not hold water - busted stopper. Second time busted tub stopper again, door had safety locks missing, graffiti on walls inside room, and Mexicans playing loud music in parking lot until midnight. But over all it was clean and friendly. Worth the price? Debatable.
The nicest thing about this hotel was the parking. I was checked in by maintenance because the front desk clerk was outside smoking on her phone. The room was gross. Multiple broken things around the room, beer bottles next to the bed, paint literally coming off the walls. Breakfast was non-existent. How they could even say they served breakfast is a joke. Will never stay here again that's for sure.
The door from the back parking lot was unlocked and able to be opened without a key. My guest room did not have a deadbolt. I did not feel safe at this property.
My stay here was okay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Towels and shower curtains were stained. The door seemed outdated. There were very limited breakfast options. No elevator, but a case of stairs. The A/C and microwave were amazing. Ideal for anyone booking a last-minute trip at a fairly reasonable cost.

You get what you pay for. The staff was excellent. Bed was comfortable. Hotel does need alot of updates. Pool wasn't working for our stay.
Bathrooms had mold and no items for shampoo and air unit had ants crawling around it with ants on floor, glass doors entering broken not working. Pillow cases and sheets off white yellow stained and bed hard as rock. Scary spot
I needed a few days away to decompress and I'm so glad I choose this location. The man who greeted me and checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. He has an amazing professionalism and quite the sense of humor. It was so very apprecited especially since I was just trying to escape for a few days. The room was nice and clean. A great value also! The lady the next day was super friendly. I felt very welcome by both of them. I will definitely stay here again when i need a break from life.
Good location, less than 10 minute drive from campus. Decent amount of parking. Good air conditioning. Bed quite comfortable if you like firm mattress.
