It is always clean and comfortable. The only problem I have is getting in the bed. The mattress is waist high to me.

The staff were nice. The room was fine. The only real issue was there was no ice available in the whole hotel. I checked in and I felt that the should have been spoken of during check-in and not after when I went to my room and noticed that I didn't have a ice bucket. Having a fridge in the room with no ice in the freezer didn't help my one night stay overnight

No pool!! Fasle advertising
They advertise a pool but the pool has been closed for a year. We booked this hotel because it had an indoor pool. And in fact it is closed. They say under maintenance but being shut down for a year...

cute little suite
This is a cute little suite! A decent kitchenette that would be great for an extended stay. conveniently located off the highway and close drive to downtown Bloomington. The room, bedding, bathroom, and lobby looked clean and professional.

Exactly what you hope for when traveling.
The room was really clean, the facility had everything an extended stay should have. The room was in good shape, appliances worked well, promised supplies on hand. The staff was friendly and eager to help.
Heartily recommend it for category.
