Homecoming football weekend
Pros:

Great location, good clean rooms. Enough parking too.

Cons:

The price of rooms on football weekends has gotten out of control in Bloomington! They don't need to over charge us by 3-4 times!

Pros:

Found hotel to be fine and staff as well but trying to access the parking garage very stressful. Little or no signage; And having to pay additionaly to park was ridiculous and overcharging

Pros:

Good hotel in great location, right on the square and walkable to Kirkwood and campus. Two HUGE negatives:
1. Parking garage elevator not working so we had to haul bags 6flights of stairs.
2. Shocking prices during key weekends- IU Parents weekend was $1K/night! It’s obscene.
