Dated motel with exterior facing doors. Bathroom was old and brown water came out of the sink when you turned it on. Definitively not worth the price we paid of $213/nt. The only real positive was the location which was very close to IU.

Have stayed at this property a few times. We don’t mind it and the price is right compared to other hotels in the area. The only downside is the bathrooms specifically the toilet seats are the size for a small child and the shower is terrible. Water spout is too low a person over 6” tall has to bend down just to have the water hit them and then the water goes from hit to cold as it’s streaming down. Also the time is old and found mold along the bathtub.

Very deceiving

When I reserved the room, I specifically requested a balcony room. Upon check in, we were told that we were upgraded. The "upgraded" room was actually a terrible down grade. Basic room and the television didn't work. The hotel looks NOTHING like the photos online. Had to wait for the included breakfast which consisted of cold cereal and juice. Not at all what was advertised. Very old buildings and rooms. Very disappointed in the stay.

The reviews were good on this property. The reality is that it is run down and dirty. The toilet in our room didn’t flush. They had to come 2x in a 2 night stay to fix it. The heat never completely warmed the room and there is no heat in the bathrooms. The tub had chips in it. The lobby has an odd smell. The staff was lovely upon checking in. Won’t stay again. Hotels in Bloomington leave a lot to be desired.
