Our second time here. The location is good. House keeping & some front desk staff are courteous and do prompt service. Bed & linens are fine. Good parking space. But the floors, furniture, carpet need cleaning & replaced. There were dead bugs in bathroom. Stains on carpets & old furnishings. Overall comfortable stay.

Spacious room wish for functional amenities

Staff was friendly. Room was not ready until after 5p. Mgr offered a drink and snack on the house. Bathroom smelled like a dirty cloth. Bathtub clogged and did not drain well. Cold water faucet worked but not well/ broken. Bar not open and restaurant only open for breakfast. Room was spacious and hotel conveniently located.

We informed the manager, feeling uncomfortable and threatened by groups of people wandering around the property, pungent smell of marijuana smoke in the lobby, and in the hallways, my husband was intimidated when he went out to get a cigarette after we finally got into our room, parking lot filled. We had to wait for a half an hour for a spot the front desk attendant helped us and apologized. Blood stains on the floor in our room, the TV only giving us two channels.

Wasn’t my favorite stay in Bloomington.

This stay was a little rough, but hoping some honest feedback helps. 3-night stay during move-in week. Room was expensive. Not one staff member smiled from check in to check out. Not one but two separate staff ladies chased me out of the breakfast room because I wouldn’t share my room number. Piles of dirty linens in hall on top of filthy carpet. Hair all over bathroom floor, and a/c didn’t work. Bed was pretty comfy to be fair. Hate to write this but trying to be honest.

The front desk employee was shockingly rude. When my husband went to get a roll of toilet paper, she questioned him as to why housekeeping didn't bring it. Earlier when the room was cleaned. I wentdown to the lobby to get water but the pitcher was empty. When i asked for more she said no-its only filled once a day. I asked to buy water and she said it was sold out. I then went back to the pitcher to the last few drops and she came over and took itfrom me. Our rug in the bedroom. Was also dirty. My husbands socks turned black on the bottom.

I cannot believe how incredibly rude the front desk person was. Housekeeping forgot to clean our room, so my husband went to the front desk to get toilet paper.The front desk clerk questioned him as to why he needed toilet paper and asked us why housekeeping didn't come to our room i needed water to take my meducine and the water pitcher in the lobby was empty . I explained that i needed to takemy medicine but she refused to f refill the water. When i tried. to get the last bit of water from the container, she came over and took it away from me. The hotel is also dirty. My husbands socks turned black on the bottom part.
