The only thing good about this hotel was that the front desk guy was friendly. Other than that, this is one of the scariest places I have ever stayed. The room was filthy. I put my hand on the counter of the bathroom and it just felt grimy. The shower had mold in it and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. There was a huge hole in the bed sheets. I couldn't sleep because I was afraid bugs were crawling all over me. It was disgusting!! I seriously considered sleeping in my van outside, but was afraid of doing that for my safety.

I didn't get here until pretty late at night, otherwise I would have gladly left and slept somewhere else, forgoing my reservations costs if necessary!

We coulda sworn that was the name of the front desk dude. By the looks of it and the fact only someone on the terrorists list running a sleeper cell would take a night job at this place. In fairness joking aside, he was nice and gave us a good rate and pointed us in the general direction of our room. I stayed here in mid July, well after the IU graduation events, and quite frankly, I cant imagine this place in the condition it was in in July being displayed to familes flocking to the area in May. Rotted furnature, peeling wallpaper, very basic bed, "unclean" feeling with the sheets. Neglected pool too, glass particles on the deck. The breakfast however was a pleasant surprise. hot waffles you make yourself, very good. The breakfast room looked out of place, the only presentable room in the whole joint, hinting this hotel has seen better days. As well the small fountain in the front greeting you at the door. Lastly, bring your laptop, the computer they have for guests in the lobby was a throwback to the commodore 64 days.

...I am very much surprised at the accomodations in Bloomington, and someone please tell me if I am wrong. I have stayed in another hotel in the campus area and it was not much better then this. You know the one, it rhymes with "Pountry Pearth". One of the countries largest bustling college towns only has about 3 reccomendable overnight establishments. I really am quite amazed at the quality these chains present, even the more affoardable ones. Quite honestly, usually im ok with low quality, if you only sleep in the room, but if you are staying in Bloomington for a prolong visit, It sends chills knowing thats where id be returning every night; let alone just taking a one night crash. Worse enough, I would feel insulted during high volume times (move in, parents weekend, graduation) if they beefed up the price during peak times. I wouldnt pay more then 20 bucks to stay in this alternative dorm room for purposes used for when your roomate isnt away and you need a wham bam thank you maam close to the stadium after a game for an hourly rate joint, and just laugh if the front desk guy told me 79.99, even if it was Sinbad.

This hotel was loud, nasty, and infested with bed bugs! I woke up at 3 AM with bed bugs all over my face and body! I demanded a refund and was granted my request after some arguing... but in fact the hotel billed my credit card over three times the amount of the original rate! Now, they refuse to refund even the extra charges! Stay the heck away from this place at all cost!!!!

Planning to spend the weekend with my first kid in college on "Family Weekend" I booked a room...the only room in Bloomington. I really did not have high expectations. The hotel is old and in need of a great deal of maintenance. In our first room, one of the queen beds was so old that the foot of the bed had no support at all. If you sat at the end of the bed, you simply slid off (and you had to sit on the beds since there was no other sitting furniture in the room). We were changed to a different room after finding that the shower leaked through the bathroom ceiling. Our next room, only worse. The small bathroom smelled of mold and mildew, with the dirty paint flaking off the walls. The sink area had the same smell. And the beds in worse condition than the first room.

Just walking around the hotel it was clear to see that everyday maintenance was ignored.

Next time I can't find a hotel, I will stay in Indianapolis!
