I was grossly overcharged during parents weekend for a motel like location. No amentities and there was a skeleton staff. They limited towels.and there was zero service. For $400/night I at least exoected that I could buy water, but they were even out of that! Dirty, old, and outdated pretty much sums it up!

A Hoosier Welcome

Overall we enjoyed our stay even if for just one night. We were there as part of a sporting event at IU so the proximity to the campus was awesome and Bloomington is a real college town! The room was nice, clean and the A/C worked well! Most importantly I appreciated the late checkout we requested due to a volleyball match that night and a late flight home. There were a few things that I feel need to be checked. First, when we bringing in our luggage to the second floor there was a very distinct rancid smell, almost like someone had thrown up in the hallway. It was not pleasant. In addition, some of the hotel fixtures like the elevator floor, the buttons and the door, were very dirty and did not look cleaned in awhile. Finally, the hotel entrance is also very confusing and the hotel looks like it is attached to the Comfort Suites.

Terrible room condition at Holiday Inn

Bathroom door didn't latch. Thermostat controller broken. Food waste and old toothpaste cap stuck in wash basin drain with no stopper and clogged up. No room service to change towels though we stayed three nights. No bathing soap.
