Our room was clean and spacious. The pool was small, but we had it to ourselves. Breakfast was free and had all we needed. Check-in and check-out were FAST. The only thing we didn't like was the parking facility and the corresponding $14 per night parking fee that we didn't know about until we checked in.

This was a very good choice on our part. Everything was clean, and very comfortable. Parking in the lot was worth the additional fee. It provided easy access to the hotel. I will definitely stay there the next time I’m in Bloomington.

Why would anyone design a bathroom with a translucent glass door for a hotel room (that sleeps up to six people)? That alone would keep me from staying there again. There was serious mold/mildew odor from the mini bar area. The bathroom fan had a layer of dust hanging from it that was at least 1/4 inch thick. Almost as bad as the glass door for the bathroom: our daughter booked a block of rooms (many months ago) for her wedding. When UI changed their football schedule, the prices were jacked up by 100%.

For the most part loved this place! Service is wonderful from the front desk to the bar. Only issues is one of the beds had some hears on the sheets. And we did not like the translucent bathroom door. Way too bright when people are trying to use the bathroom in the middle of the night!

My room was really nice and the amenities were great but the check in person went on a bit too long/too aggressive about the Marriott Bonvoy program (which you have to sign up for anyway for free internet.) I said I would think about it and brought it up twice more. I understand this is likely policy but it’s a bad one.
