It was pleasant stay while we visited our family
Pros:

The staff was very kind and accommodating to our son's needs

Cons:

I hated that we had to experience mold growth in our bathroom but I understand its not the staff isn't at fault.
The company should look into installing venting fans in the bathroom to prevent mold

Pros:

Every staff member we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful. At so many hotels, the staff are clearly just there to do a job and get a paycheck. But the staff here were all genuinely enthusiastic and seemed to love the hotel and guests.

Good afordable stay while in town for a concert
Pros:

Affordable, good location, servicable breakfast. Easy on-site parking.

Cons:

The bathroom sink stopper was stuck and wouldn't drain. Overheard another guest complaining at checkout about their bathroom vanity top/sink leaning due to a bent, misaligned bracket. Staff said it was a common issue and would get the maintenance crew to work on it.

Pros:

Location handy

Cons:

Elevators, hallway areas very unclean (dirty qtip on ground outside of elevator in hall for 2 days...gross). Cleaning service pounded in our door to check a list of who was still in room at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. Very ridiculous.

Disappointing Customer Service and Follow-Up
Pros:

One of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had.

On April 24, 2026, I was traveling alone with two children, including a toddler, when I discovered at 5 AM that my vehicle had been towed and I was at risk of missing my flight.

The most frustrating part wasn’t even the tow—it was the complete lack of help from the hotel. I was essentially handed the tow company’s phone number and told to figure it out myself. I had to repeatedly push for management involvement and ask the hotel to contact the tow company directly because I couldn’t get answers on my own.

Afterward, getting follow-up information was just as difficult. Emails went unanswered, I had to repeatedly request updates, and it took multiple follow-ups just to obtain basic information about my case.

What really stood out was that the tow company owner ultimately showed more accountability than the hotel. He reviewed the situation, acknowledged how the misunderstanding could have happened, and refunded the tow fee. Meanwhile, the hotel’s position was essentially that it wasn’t their problem.

I understand that mistakes happen. What disappointed me was the lack of communication, ownership, and concern for a guest dealing with a stressful situation while traveling with young children.

Courteous Caring Atmosphere
Pros:

Bloomington Hampton. Atmosphere was very good! After several interactions, I could tell the GM cared about her guests and employees, everyone was very courteous. Breakfast was good, some stocking issues here and there like dark roast coffee and bread for toast, but mostly good. Some websites had Breakfast closing at 0900... but it's open till 1000 which was welcomed info the first day. Also a disconnect on signage in room saying they provide maid service everyday, but learning it's by request, then still having to remind them later in the day that I signed up for cleaning. The shower gel was empty so I needed that done, which caused the prompting. But the next day room was cleaned without having to request it. Courtnay did a very good job with cleaning on the one day I received full service. Overall, very nice stay!
