We stayed for 2 nights visiting my daughter in college.We arrived on Friday afternoon November , 7. Check in was easy. We walked in a room and I was so upset because nobody clean the room. It was crumbs on a kitchen floor, dog hair on a desk, on a carpet and kitchen floor. Splashes of soap and water on a bathroom mirror. Looks like housekeeper change the sheets and left the room. I called front desk to tell them about condition of the room and ask to move us to different room but they told me hotel rooms s sold out, was no rooms available. Very nice housekeeper came and offered to clean our room. We left for the evening and when we came back the room was looking much more presentable. Also smell in the room was very heavy to breath. Like bad spray or something else. We been told that this hotel is a dog friendly but it’s doesn’t mean can’t be clean properly for the next guests. Was very upsetting begging of the stay.

My stay at this hotel was very disappointing. The room was not clean—the tub, microwave, refrigerator, and windows were all dirty. This made the experience uncomfortable and far below expectations. I would not recommend staying here unless improvements are made to cleanliness and maintenance. Also someone tried to check into my room at 7:30 AM and staff tried to get into my room around 10:30 AM stating that my room was supposed to be vacant although I had the room for two nights.

My family felt unsafe. The housekeeping staff tried to get us to leave our room before our agreed upon check out time. I could not in good conscience recommend this hotel nor would I want to stay there again. The room wasn't well dusted or vacuumed. Smells in hallways. The pool wasn't operable. Not a good experience.

My room was already paid for a week before I arrived. The front desk attendant asked for my license then proceeded to say my card had been declined? She never asked for a card and the card that I had used to pay for my room had a 0 balance. Next evening we stop at the front desk for coffee. she said we were not even in there system. But she wanted to comfort us by saying are stuff had not been touched.

The bed was comfortable, parking lot was fine, the low score I gave was due to the lack of hand soap by the sink and body wash in the shower (both bottles were empty). When I went down to the front desk to report this, the clerk said she would get some from supplies and bring it to our room, which she did soon after. The room was a bit dirty with trash and dirt on the floor behind the nightstand between the beds.

The front desk was not staffed. There was loud music each of three days we were there. The hotel staff knew it was a construction crew staying there but did nothing about it. The tub was supposedly handicap accessible but was far too high for comfortable access. Overall, I will NOT stay there again.

This has a convenient location. And it was fairly quiet. However, our room had mold on the bathroom ceiling and not just a little. The staff was polite and nice, but hard to find. Pool was closed and drained.

We were welcomed by the stench of the lobby and the smell continued to our room. Bed cover was ripped and dirty and was not washed for years. Stains in the toilet. Hot water will stop abruptly. We understand the hotels are crowded in this area due to the large number of families coming to Bloomington. But this place is not the place to stay. Please do not add additional stress staying at this place. Not ot mentiona they charge very high price. For an additional $20 there are other clean hotels in Bloomington. If there is an option to upload photos we could have uploaded the photos of the filthy rooms.
