A severely understaffed hotel charging luxury rates but unable to deliver basic service.
Pros:

This property is incredibly understaffed. I had to wait 15–20 minutes just to get a coffee because the one person working at the reception desk was also responsible for checking guests in, making coffee, and bartending.

Each time she began making the drink, another guest would arrive to check in, forcing her to stop and return to the front desk. This cycle repeated multiple times, and by the time she finally finished my drink, it was the wrong order, likely because she was juggling so many roles at once.

Several other guests were also waiting for coffee and drinks, and some eventually gave up and left due to the wait.

This level of staffing is simply unacceptable for a hotel charging premium rates.

Cons:

I was very disappointed with my stay. When paying over $800 per night, I expect a level of service and accommodations that match that price point, and unfortunately this hotel fell far short.

The hotel appeared to be severely understaffed, and it was nearly impossible to get assistance with basic issues. The HVAC system in my room was extremely loud, so loud that I couldn’t even hear the TV. I tried turning it off using the thermostat, but it continued running and never shut down.

I attempted to call the front desk using the phone in the room, but the phone didn’t work. I then had to walk down from the 7th floor to the front desk to speak with someone in person. The staff member there told me he was the only person working and that he did not know how to fix the HVAC system.

At $830 per night, guests should be able to expect functional room equipment, adequate staffing, and responsive guest services. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet the standards one would reasonably expect at this price.

A nice place to stay right in downtown Bloomington with a nice breakfast for a good price.
Pros:

This was a wonderful property, the room was very nice, breakfast was wonderful, and the location and price were in line with what we needed for this stay.

Cons:

If I had to pick something to note, the parking structure was VERY tight. The entrance was a bit of an adventure as a VERY steep uphill curve. It also was very small with limited spots for parking. But that said we got in and out just fine and found a parking spot.

Overcharged
Pros:

Location to downtown

Cons:

I was double charged for my room and was told that it was my fault for using Booking.com. No one on site could help resolve the issue and no one has responded to me via the email that I was given.

Lovely time there, would recommend for any stay in Bloomington
Pros:

The room was extremely comfortable and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons:

I think the breakfast offering was lackluster, or maybe it’s just my experience from my breakfast buffet in European hotels, where the choice was so diverse
Not here, unfortunately
