This place looked like it was left alone too long, on the outside. The Landscape was nice, but neglected!! Weeds were taller than the bushes!! Furniture in the room, dusty. Tub needed some bleach!! ( Who wants to take a bath in someone else's grime?) To top it off, THE ALARM CLOCK WENT OFF AT 5:00 AM!! and I didn't... more

Following US 66 we stopped for the night on the west side of Bloomington at the HI Express. Greeted quickly and checked in with a smile. The room was very clean and tidy... the pool and hot tub clean and refreshing. We had a very quiet night ... no outside noise at all. Best of all was the complete hot... more

This hotel is clean and in a nice location. Close to the interstate and close to shopping and restaurants. However, this hotel is very expensive for such a small area. The other hotels were booked up, which is why we picked this particular one that evening. Maybe there was something going on in the area to have such expensive rates.... more

First, I am noticing a trend .. many HI Expresses appear to be other hotels rebranded. According to the elevator, this used to be a Wingate? Otherwise, convenient location in Bloomington, but nestled between an Aldo's store and an abandoned night club. Our room had a great view of the crumbled cement blocks of the old night club. Also, one... more

At this hotel there is a sign and It reads - On Fri. & Sat. night on the North side there will be music probably late and their sorry but there is nothing they can do about this. So I ask a clerk named Erik if this is a sure fire deal, only on Fri. and Sat.. He sarcasticly replied,... more

It was very late when I finally got to the Wingate Inn and upon my arrival I had to stand in the lobby for about 15 minutes, constantly ringing the service bell that was placed on the counter for a young gentleman to finally wait on me. This gentleman looked rather un-groomed (like he did not bother to comb his... more

The Good: Cookies in the afternoon. The Bad: A sour smelling bed. I could never figure out whether it was the sheets, the blanket, the pillows, or the mattress, but it was not a pleasant odor to surround me as I climed into bed during my two night stay. The Ugly: No functional phone in my room for my entire... more

We had booked a King Suite at their 'best rate' for two nights at this hotel using their website. Upon arrival the friendly young lady at the reception pointed out to me that it was just the Jr. King Suite, not the real King Suite and she offered me to upgrade for the price difference. It was late and I... more

My husband and I just stayed at the Wingate in Bloomington, IL twice--once in October and again this past week-end. What a great place! Our room was the king and there was a sitting area (complete with a desk, chairs, and an easy chair with an ottoman) as part of the room. A very comfortable bed with the most amazing... more
