Nice room with all the appliances you need to do some cooking. Did not use anything but coffeemaker but husband did note there was only one small coffee cup. Full size shampoo conditioner and body wash in shower no tiny hotel bottles. We liked the set up and would book again.
Great value.

The room had some insects and the chalking and paint on the bathroom ceiling was not good. No breakfast was provided
The room was not cleaned even though I stayed two days.

There are two charges on my card that was only supposed to be $10 deposit. A $86.28 charge from Saturday and then today a $9.13 charge, with no explanation for this.

Very pet friendly, clean. There aren't any eating options in walking distance but if you have a car, it's very close to lots of good places. I will be staying here everytime I visit my college kid. I found our place! Highly recommend.

This has a convenient location. And it was fairly quiet. However, our room had mold on the bathroom ceiling and not just a little. The staff was polite and nice, but hard to find. Pool was closed and drained.

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.

Basic accommodations at a reasonable price. Well equipped kitchen if you are in town for several days and don’t want to eat every meal out. Conveniently located fairly close to IU at a reasonable price.
