the breakfast was awful. we were there around 730am and there was enough waffle mix for one waffle. cereal was all over the counter, bagels were all hard as a rock. all of the granola "mix in" was empty or petrified fruit. the swimming pool area was nice and clean, but the water was ice cold. room was clean, but the door didn't shut without being pulled or pushed shut. Exterior door out the end of hallway was the same way. I have stayed at this hotel before and really enjoyed it, but i won't ever stay here again.

You get what you pay for

Check in was slow. Musty smell in the room, cleared up a bit after turning the A/C on. Breakfast was a joke, no batter for waffles, no milk for cereal, no hot water for the oatmeal.

Don’t bother. The remodel didn’t fix service.

Hotel wanted to charge extra and separate security deposit. Our first room had ripped sheets. The second room had the bathroom door falling off. The room was 50 degrees when we arrived. After asking to the be moved to a new room after the first room I could hear the desk attendant talking to the owners ina negative way about me.

Horrible worst hotel so far in Bloomington staff and management awful dirty room was moved to another room and idk what room was worse. Bed had crumbs in it. Towles had brown dirt as if it was used and out back on rack staff was knocking on my door before 11 o’clock check out time looking for payment or wondering if I was leaving totally rude. Definitely ran a paying customer off.
