Great hotel with amazing staff.
Pros:

Staff was super nice and helpful. Rooms are very spacious with their own kitchen. The facilities were great.

Cons:

Location can be a bit outside of town, but driving around Bloomington is always less than 15 mins anyways.

The price was a good price for a last minute booking, the room was clean and big, the staff at the front desk were really helpful, and accommodated to any needs we had. It was a really nice stay, and it isn’t far from downtown or anything.
