Really nice hotel on campus and connected to Memorial Union. Easy short walk thru campus to downtown Bloomington bars and restaurants.
Enjoyed another walk on campus in the morning thru the beautiful limestone buildings!

Excellent and convenient location, being directly on campus for tours and events. Some of the room amenities and cleanliness weren’t up to national chain standards, but only minor and certainly tolerable. The proximity of some of the other hotel options may cause us to explore alternatives in the future, but we’d still go back to Biddle too.

Parking was rough when there was a conference being held for a couple hours during our stay. At other times it was easy to find a spot and it was conveniently located. Well located and beautiful building. Clean facility

Room was so clean, staff was so friendly, the property was gorgeous, obvisouly crowded everywhere because there were a lot of students but they keep to themselves. The Starbucks was so crowded and packed but I cant blame them.

This hotel was amazing, centrally located on campus in the student center. If you are visiting IU this is the place to stay to get a true feel for campus life. It was clean and recently renovated, easy to get to via car or shuttle from the Indianpolis airport.

From the moment of arrival, being greeted outdoors by a gentleman that provided directions regarding how and where to park, obtaining a luggage cart for us to a smooth check in and lovely stay, our IU Biddle experience was excellent. We grabbed dinner at the food court and walked to the auditorium for a concert. Staying close the the venue and not having to drive and park and walk before and after the concert was very convenient and we 100% would do it again! :)
