It was a cool, old mansion with lots of history. My room had very nice tolietries, and a very comfortable bed with wonderful sheets and pillow cases. Breakfast was delicious, and was extra nice due to the other guests that I got to visit with.

We recieved a warm welcome and tour of the mansion upon arrival. Our beautiful room was enormous and we had a stylish antique bathroom located across the hall. Breakfast was amazing and we had wonderful conversation with the other guests. The piano downstairs can be played by anyone, and one of the couples were playing and singing, which my husband really enjoyed. Our stay was short, so we weren't able to explore the neighborhood as we would have liked. We would love to return and stay longer.

One Night in History

My stay at Vrooman was very positive overall. I was tired of the same old hotels and wanted to experience something new for the one night I would be in Bloomington, IL, And this place was so unique I wasn't disappointed. I stayed in the Masters Chambers, a beautiful huge bedroom with a detached personal bathroom. I appreciated the period accurate and historical decor In the room, as well as throughout the home. I also really enjoyed the breakfast the morning after. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, and even though I hate mushrooms with a passion, I felt I had to give the mushroom souffle a try. And I'm glad I did! All in all, it's a great place to stay if you want something different. Staff was also very helpful and had great communication and dedication to problem solving even through a tiny issue I had during my stay. Would definitely stay again, and you should too!
