What guests think
Across recent reviews for Red Roof Inn Bloomington - Normal/University, travelers note convenient highway access and some friendly staff, but also significant concerns about overall upkeep and a very limited breakfast.
Reports mention dirty or musty rooms, mold in bathrooms, pests, and stained linens. Several guests also cite loud traffic, a run-down exterior, and occasional safety worries around the property. Basic stays are possible, yet water pressure, hot water, AC, door locks, and in-room electronics can be unreliable. Expect a no-frills stopover with variable quality.

Based on the photos online, we thought we would be staying in a hotel, but this Red Roof Inn is more like a motel, with two stories and doors to the rooms facing the parking lot. We were on the second floor, and there isn't an elevator. The room was fine, but the floors are vinyl/linoleum and could use a good sweep and mop. The bedskirt had gunk on it, and the fan in the bathroom was very loud and squeaky. The motel is close to the highway, and there was a loud rumble/vibration throughout the night, and I couldn't figure out if it came from the hotel itself or from the highway. Otherwise, the room was quiet. The motel does not have an ice maker, but the front desk will provide ice from an ice tray made in a freezer in one of the back rooms if you ask. Breakfast is starch-based (cereal, bagels/toast), coffee and juice but no protein (not even hard boiled eggs or yogurt) or fruit. The bed was comfortable and the linens were very nice. We appreciated the refrigerator, microwave, desk and coffee maker in the room. If you need a safe place to sleep on a limited budget, this is your place.

Ceiling drywall was wet and crumbled in front of the door entry. The ceiling fire alarm sensor was constantly beeping. On the bright side we asked for a new room and was given one. The enclosed middle entry by the stair well had no smoking signs and stank with smoke and the concrete floor was crumbly and needed to be refinished.

Bad experience! No hot water, ice machine broken, toilet was wobbly. Asked 3 times for a few extra pillows, for my bad back. Never got them, ended up sleeping in my van for half the night. We won’t be back!

The room was dirty overall. The floors were dirty, there was something splattered on the wall by the sink, the shower was dirty and moldy. The ceiling was falling in. The phone didnt work and appeared to be covered in dirt and grease. I would not recommend staying at this property to anyone! It was gross. Extremely unsatisfied.

Great location for easy on/off. Lots of restaurants nearby. I stop for a good rest and hot shower, which I did not get…the mattress is extremely uncomfortable and I tossed and turned all night. They have good water pressure but when you turn on the shower all you get is a trickle. The room was clean with new furniture, but the bathroom was subpar. I wouldn’t go back-definitely not worth the money spent

This hotel cost us 4x the standard price because of graduation weekend for the University. $200 per night. That said, the room was clean and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Don’t expect more than cereal and yogurt for breakfast, and the motel rooms next to the interstate will certainly not be sound proof. It’s not a resort. It will suffice for an overnight stay.

We couldn’t get a signal on the tv and when we told the front desk they never came to fix it. The stairwell had loose steps.

My bed had bugs, there was no light at the sink, hair dryer not working and the smell of the room. I always bring an air freshner which I seldom use and I use it that night and morning. The people working there were nice. They move us to a different room the next day. Better but the toilet flush was not working but they did fix it. It was just an inconvenience for a short stay. I am not expecting to be a 5 star. Just need a place to sleep without hassle.

There was a man with a sign begging in the dark at 11pm at night on the corner where you turn in to the property. Rooms are outside access. I was traveling alone. The room had a horrible smell that had been masked (without success) by air freshener.

Hotel across street didn’t honor reservation so last minute booking here. Front desk staff was exhausted, could barely communicate he was yawning and looked like about to pass out. Room was fine, dated, needs updating, but the mattress was comfy. Homeless seem to be hanging out behind property but didn’t cause any issues.

The area the hotel is in is not a good looking area. Little spooky. The bathroom had mold on the ceiling and the trim was pulled away.

Property was dirty. Garbage cans overflowing. Hair in the shower. Floors were filthy and cracks and bubbles in the laminate in the room. Stains on the towels. Loud and noisy from other guests partying in the parking lot until all hours of the night. Breakfast was a joke. Don’t do it!

I was very disappointed in the common reception area. It was very dark and dingy, and the bathroom was out of order the entire time we were there. We were not given any information about the breakfast time schedule, and there was no information in the room about it, or any area restaurants either. I just went there at a reasonable time to see what they had to offer. Breakfast offerings were bread and bagels -with a toaster, juice, coffee, and milk, green bananas and one flavor of yogurt. Oh and two sweetened cereals. Margarine -not butter, peanut butter, cream cheese and two jelly’s were offered to accompany the bread. The refrigerator in the room was not even cool when we opened it up to put our drinks in it, but it did cool down after I changed the temperature setting. Even though my reservation clearly was for two people, it only had towels & washcloths for one person. I have stayed in many Red Roof Inns before, and I can say this one was very disappointing.

This hotel cost us 4x the standard price because of graduation weekend for the University. $200 per night. That said, the room was clean and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. Don’t expect more than cereal and yogurt for breakfast, and the motel rooms next to the interstate will certainly not be sound proof. It’s not a resort. It will suffice for an overnight stay.

Based on the photos online, we thought we would be staying in a hotel, but this Red Roof Inn is more like a motel, with two stories and doors to the rooms facing the parking lot. We were on the second floor, and there isn't an elevator. The room was fine, but the floors are vinyl/linoleum and could use a good sweep and mop. The bedskirt had gunk on it, and the fan in the bathroom was very loud and squeaky. The motel is close to the highway, and there was a loud rumble/vibration throughout the night, and I couldn't figure out if it came from the hotel itself or from the highway. Otherwise, the room was quiet. The motel does not have an ice maker, but the front desk will provide ice from an ice tray made in a freezer in one of the back rooms if you ask. Breakfast is starch-based (cereal, bagels/toast), coffee and juice but no protein (not even hard boiled eggs or yogurt) or fruit. The bed was comfortable and the linens were very nice. We appreciated the refrigerator, microwave, desk and coffee maker in the room. If you need a safe place to sleep on a limited budget, this is your place.

This place was absolutely terrible. Room was not like it was on portrayed in the hotel pictures. Room looked dirty with stains all over the place, holes in wall and dead bugs and webbing on the window. Breakfast was supposedly included but not available.

The staff was very friendly. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable; the pillows were very flat. Breakfast consisted of instant oatmeal, dry cereal, or toast/bagels. I would have liked some fresh fruit, a yogurt, or some hard-boiled eggs-something with protein.

Our door did not close properly. Had to muscle it closed from the inside and could not make it stay closed from the outside so we had to take all our stuff with us when we went out in the evening. Red wall inside had been repaired with two different colors of paint, bathroom was cramped, no kleenex, flimsy toilet paper and a dismal breakfast. Staff was nice but rather than repair door while we were out the just managed to get it closed. And then it was almost impossible to get open when we returned. We knew we were doing budget accommodations but that shouldn’t mean unsafe

Good value if all you are looking for is a place to sleep. Breakfast was nearly nonexistent. 2 kinds of dry cereal, white bread, coffee and juice.

Unsafe property. Door jam on the room was busted and never repaired. Looked like it had been kicked in and left a huge gap between the door and the from you could see outside with the door shut. Floor was split, broken and separated in several places. Breakfast was practically non existent, 2 bagels or muffins or something in a container was the entire thing. Don't go if you value your safety.

The first room we were given was a smoking room and I do not smoke. The second room smelled fine. But the floors were sticky. The bed was good and slept well. The breakfast was very sparse. I guess that what you expect for a low price point.

It looked like black mold around the bathtub., there was two of us and they just gave us two towels, two wash cloths. The floors were falling apart. Breakfast was a joke one bagel at a time, toast, or choice of two cereals one of the milks was expired, coffee and juice. It just went downhill we have stayed there before a couple of times but this time it was bad!
