The property was average at best. The ac made a lot of noise and overall their cooling system needs to be better. The beds were not too comfortable and average. The breakfast was decent. However they don’t provide any complimentary water and make sure you get a water bottle that you can fill up ! The location is also not very close to IU. Overall an average place to stay

Andrea

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are older, so there are several issues to note. The toilet tank refill in our room ran without stop, very loudly through the day and night. The main door to the room was difficult to open and close. Several of the light switches did not work and the bedside lights only worked on one side. There were no new USB or USB-C plugs for charging. There are limited television stations and no streaming access from the television. The price we paid given these limitations was pretty ridiculous, which I’m told is par for the course for IU major family event times. It’s unfortunate. The staff is lovely and it was clean. The on-site parking for free and the free breakfast are nice as well.

Our stay was a quick two night stay for my son’s music audition at Jacob’s. Check in and out was smooth, staff pleasant and breakfast/24hr coffee was nice. Plenty of restaurants nearby and a good location between Jacob’s and other parts of town you’ll want to see. We will be back if this (Bloomington, Indiana) is where the universe puts our son.
