The staff was wonderful. The location for IU games is great. The rooms, however, are dated and really need an upgrade.

6/10 Good

This was a last minute booking. The hotel is fine. Location is fine. The checking in and checking out process was quick. Staff was very friendly. Parking was great. The rooms are not so great. Carpets are stained and look dirty. The bed looked like someone had slept in it. We then realized the sheets were clean, maybe someone was in a hurry to make the bed? It was an ok stay for a last minute trip.

The people at the desk were not friendly at all. The hotel for a one night stay for the price is great
PHIL, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our second time here. The location is good. House keeping & some front desk staff are courteous and do prompt service. Bed & linens are fine. Good parking space. But the floors, furniture, carpet need cleaning & replaced. There were dead bugs in bathroom. Stains on carpets & old furnishings. Overall comfortable stay.

This place is a dump!

This hotel is a dump! Floors where dirty like they havent been vacummed in days, and there was dry blood on the bathroom floor. I woke up this morning and stared at the ceiling and eww grossed, the dirt and cobwebs on the ceiling is disgusting.
Kelly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bathroom floor wasn’t clean at all. Toilet leaked. Toilet seat yellow and discolored. Cracks in walls and stains all over the carpet
Scott, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Phones were down, dead bugs on the floor of the room, mold on the curtains, and gnats in the bathroom. Overall dirty and dated. Staff was very nice, but the condition of the hotel left a lot to be desired.

Staff members were very friendly. The room and furnishings are a bit out dated but it was worth the cost for the stay.
Kristen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for graduation weekend and I was very happy with the hotel and the service we received. I appreciated that the hotel did not require a 3 night minimum and didn't gouge the prices like many other hotels in the area. The service was very friendly. And a special shout out to the women that ran the breakfast buffet, they exemplified custoer relations - wonderful employees!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good stay but lacking a lot of modern amenities.

The hotel was clean which i appreciate but very dated. During our stay the satellite was out so tv was limitied to 1 channel. The hotel store didn't have diet coke. The bar was out of Captain Morgan and Bud Light. The pool however, was very clean and well kept.

Great location. Nice rooms but the carpet had debris on it and the breakfast was meagre at best. This morning there weren't any utensils or plates out!

Great stay!

Walking distance to fantastic food! Arvo's is so tasty, and a Kroger's if you need anything. Nice neighborhood, friendly staff, and super comfy bed! The outdoor pool was a bit chilly when I was there but I got a good swim!
Stone art across the way on the Harley lot
Arvo's pizza across the road — so good!
They make a tasty pizza!
It was a little chilly when I was there, but I got a great swim in!

Douglas, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is a run down hotel. I was expecting better from a Holiday Inn. The ceiling has a crack running all down the room. The drywall tape was coming off. The shower was not draining properly. The toliet seat was discolored from just being old. It was very dirty between the mattress and the wall. The hallways smelt musty. The only good thing is that I didn't have any bed bug bites.
Nichole, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff👍 Property is in need of renovations! Bathroom was the worst!! For a handicap room it should have been in top condition. Shower head wouldn’t stay in place, toilet paper holder feel off the wall. Water drained slow, no fan to limit steam during shower. Enough said.
Mike, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

It said I could pay cash on Expedia but when I got to the hotel the lady was moody said she didn’t know the new system and when I pulled out my cash she said we do not accept cash we are cashless, it should not still say that well I don’t have money on my debit card and said well I guess I’ll go buy a visa gift card she said we don’t accept gift cards either, so we were left stranded in Bloomington Indiana
Crystal, 1-night trip

I loved staying here. The only problem is that it is a little bit off the beaten path so it takes a minute to reach the location but it's in a great location so no worries!
