A Hoosier Welcome
Overall we enjoyed our stay even if for just one night. We were there as part of a sporting event at IU so the proximity to the campus was awesome and Bloomington is a real college town! The room was nice, clean and the A/C worked well! Most importantly I appreciated the late checkout we requested due to a volleyball match that night and a late flight home. There were a few things that I feel need to be checked. First, when we bringing in our luggage to the second floor there was a very distinct rancid smell, almost like someone had thrown up in the hallway. It was not pleasant. In addition, some of the hotel fixtures like the elevator floor, the buttons and the door, were very dirty and did not look cleaned in awhile. Finally, the hotel entrance is also very confusing and the hotel looks like it is attached to the Comfort Suites.

Beds were comfortable and clean, bath was clean and stocked with towels and soaps. The room was as good as it could be - but carpet and building needs updating and repairs. Holiday Inn my go to and this one was good but could be better for the cost. Young guy at the desk was very helpful and upbeat. It is the n a convenient location.

Decent option when my usual hotel is booked however the entire facility needs a solid deep clean. The rooms are decent aside from the dirty carpet but the hallways and common areas are dated and dirty. The best thing I can say is that the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating.
