Always a great stay, our go to hotel in Bloomington!
Pros:

Loved the renovation, we have stayed a few times while it was going on and to see it finished was cool.

Cons:

There were only a couple things. When we arrive there seemed to be a meeting going on in the lobby and it made us a little uncomfortable. In the shower there is nowhere to put my person items. Also the lighting in our room, 327 was very dark.

Pros:

The breakfast was good. We also liked that there is an electric car charger there. That was helpful for our plugin hybrid. I would encourage more hotels to install more units like this in the future.

I probably won’t stay here again
Cons:

I did not like the fact that a staff member told me I could only get until 12pm for a late checkout but then as I was walking in the lobby to my car that same night he told another guest they can check out at 130 pm smh. Very strange and unfair
