Courtyard by Marriott Bloomington Normal

What guests think

Across reviews for Courtyard by Marriott Bloomington Normal, travelers praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near highways and ISU, while noting dated rooms with occasional maintenance issues, mixed cleanliness, and recurring pool and hot tub problems.

Several guests slept well and liked the beds, but others found mattresses hard, lighting dim, doors flimsy, and some HVAC or fridge units faulty. The on-site Bistro and Starbucks options were appreciated, though free breakfast is not standard and a few food and coffee complaints appear. Best for a simple, convenient stay with modest expectations.

The staff was courteous. The rooms were clean. Kind of disappointed The hot tub didn't work. This seems to be a thing lately. The shower was really nice Not used to seeing glass doors. Maid service Didn't do anything the second day so had to go to the desk to get more coffee. Not a big deal, but if they know you're staying more than one night they should at least refill the basic necessities. Like coffee and toilet paper and take the trash out.

The hotel pool was under maintenance during our stay. This was disappointing as I booked the hotel to use the pool and hot tub. We were told we could swim at the neighboring hotel’s pool. We did this and were very unsatisfied with the cleanliness of the pool and there was no hot tub.

Pool amenities were less than standard. Green algae at bottom of pool. Even the children in my group refused to go in the pool. This hotel was over $150 a night and in my opinion a $119 a night maximum stay. When amenities cannot be offered in a sanitary condition, fees should be lowered.

Good location. Friendly staff. Room was worn out, cigarette burns on furniture and walls, drapes torn. Slightly noisy from outside sounds. Elevator inspection is a few months past due. Refrigerator not good, you have to push a reset button to turn it on for 2 hours at a time. That’s tough when you are there for 4 days and can’t constantly monitor that. Was expecting a little more for the money and the name.

For the money that you payfor this hotel room I was Not impressed. No free continental breakfast, the shower had dried boogers and old soap close to the shower head, only 3 towels and not very clean room. There was also lights that were for bedside light with no light switch on the wall... they were mounted with switches themselves and were plugged in, but no wall switch to keep them on... all the other creature comforts. Single serving coffee, creamer, sugar and got a great room close to the elevator but the door was really flimsy and could hear everything and everyone while i laid on my bed over 8 foot away.

The Courtyard was recently refurbished with carpet, paint, wallpaper, etc. It was nice and was clean, outside of the shower which was just tired, and had some stains/spots in the corners/on the walls. The hotel offered Starbucks drink options for breakfast which was nice but we did not pay to eat there, outside of the coffee/tea. Decent stay, would have liked to pay 125 not 160 but it seems that is the way it goes these days. Overall clean and safe.

We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations; our usual hotel was booked up. The Courtyard of Marriott has an inviting lobby, lovely bistro area and a convenient location just off I55. Each and every staff member we interacted with was helpful, friendly and quite efficient, including several front desk personnel, bistro, cleaning crew and outside maintenance. The bistro is a hidden gem! Excellent food quality and convenience. We enjoyed the fresh avocado toast and Starbucks coffee were next level. The rooms are very clean and well furnished. The beds and bedding are wonderfully comfortable. We will book here again.
