Stayed here recently and overall had a solid experience. The hotel feels modern and well-kept, and…read morethe breakfast was definitely above average compared to most places. The eggs and biscuits & gravy were especially good--fresh, hot, and actually flavorful, which you don't always get with hotel breakfasts. The room itself was spacious, which we appreciated, but there were a couple of comfort issues. It tended to run a bit warm, and the thermostat didn't seem to cool down to the temperature we set. The air also felt pretty dry overnight. We had an accessible (handicap) shower, and while it was easy to use, it left about half of the bathroom floor soaked after each shower. That made the floor very slick, which was a bit of a safety concern. We also liked that the hotel had a pool, which is always a nice perk, but it was pretty small. Overall, a nice stay with great amenities and breakfast, but a few room comfort and bathroom design issues that could be improved.

Small food store in the front that was very reasonably priced. Rooms were clean, bright and well appointed. Didn't use room service but it was very clean and well dressed. Breakfast setup is typical for the chain and well stocked. Attendants did a great job every day that I was there and they were always cheerful. One drawback is that the gym is very limited. There is enough to get in a workout but the cardio gear is very dated. Overall, solid experience and I recommend this location for a short or long stay.

Pet weight limit is 75 lbs., has free parking, complementary breakfast, free WiFi, has washer and dryers ($0.75 to use the washer and the same to use the dryer) on site and fitness center with pool available for use for guests. My husband, our little girl dog and I stayed here for 4 nights. Upon our first night of checking in, we were greeted by a friendly employee behind the counter, Sydney. We had our room on the first floor and the room was pretty spacious that had a fridge, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, sink, sponge and mini dish soap. There was a sticker on the dishwasher that says the dishes are ready to use in there but when we pulled out a plate, it had food on it. I would highly recommend washing whatever dishes and utensils you pull out of here. Inside the shower is a shower gel and shampoo dispenser, which is nice. But there is no conditioner dispenser. There is a small bottle of condition on the bathroom sink counter, next to the small box of bar soap. Complementary hot breakfast is served between 6:30- 9:30 daily. I think this is where our experience was a bit lacking with the breakfast, as it was the same food items offered every day with no added variety. The food items available for breakfast included Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwich, egg omelet with cheese, egg omelet with bell peppers and ham, bananas, oranges, green apples, cold cereal, oatmeal, non fat and low fat milk, non fat Greek yogurt and regular yogurt, make your own waffle, cold hard boiled eggs, white bread and bagels (with the ability to toast it and also provided with butter, jam, etc). I was hoping to see scrambled eggs, bacon/ sausage, etc. But it was still good enough for each morning. The gym (open 24 hours) was nice that had 2 treadmills, 2 elliptical machines, 1 bike cycle. There are also free weights and a machine that is multitask to allow one to do chest press, bicep curls, etc. There are 2 large flat screen TVs. There is also a water dispenser, a weight scale and plenty of sanitizing wipes available in the dispenser. Disposable headphones are available at the front desk for free upon request. The gym was clean on the days I used it (yes I am one of those people who like to exercise while on vacation) and the air condition was great to help cool me down during my workout. We were told that housekeeping was available upon request. We did not request for any while we were staying here. But I did see a sticker on the bathroom mirror that did say that they do housekeeping on the 5th day (but you can always request not to if you don't want it). With this hotel being dog friendly, there is plenty of grass available for your pet to relieve themselves and also a poop bag dispenser that was always full. Overall, I had a great stay here and would consider staying here again the next time visiting Bloomington.

They gave us a room with a dirty bed and didn't care. This place has decent reviews and is…read moreconvenient to campus, so it seemed like a great place for a quick two night stay. My wife went to sleep before me, and so when I got into bed and was overwhelmed by the absolute stench of another human's body, especially on the pillow cases and at the top of the covers, which he must have tucked into his stank pits, smearing his sweat and cheap deodorant all over them. It was revolting. I've heard of hotels not changing sheets between guests to save time/money, but I've never been absolutely certain I've been subjected to that kind of filth. Until my April 2026 stay at this hotel. Since my wife was already sleeping (boy did she pick the right side of the bed) I didn't want to disturb her and waited until morning to complain. The person at the front desk seemed to think I was trying to get extra housekeeping (the hotel explicitly does not offer daily housekeeping; hell, they don't even always do it between guests!) and was distant with me about it, saying that "maybe" they'd be able to squeeze in my room today, they'd "do their best". This reaction is why I'm taking the time to write a review; things happen, maybe it was bad luck, but the nonchalant "eh, idk if we have time to change your sheets today" response sent me over the top. My bedding did get changed, but I would NEVER stay here and would warn anyone else to avoid it at all costs.

Since it was Thanksgiving, the restaurant was not open that evening and the hotel was not very busy. That worked in our favor, as parking was plentiful and check-in was smooth. I also received a complimentary room upgrade, which made an already nice stay even better. The room itself was excellent and easily exceeded expectations. The next morning we ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant and were impressed. Good food, good service, and an easy start to the day. Overall, a really solid stay and absolutely worth it.

Part of our experience was touring the Indiana Memorial Union, which is a pretty stunning building architecturally. With a limestone exterior and wonderful interiors of dark woods, this huge student union contains a hotel, a fancy dining room, other restaurants, a bookstore, bowling alley, move theater, and of course public gathering spaces and rooms for meetings, conferences, and performances. It's a very impressive building and one that I would be immensely proud of if I were a member of the IU community. And as much as I'm proud of my own University of Iowa Union, the IU one blows mine out of the water. I couldn't get enough of wandering around this multi-story building and occasionally getting lost. Someday I'd like to come back and try out the Hotel and allow myself to live here for a short time.
