The large room was clean and included several items needed during my stay. I enjoyed the clothes hangers & a place to hang clothes, iron w/ironing board but the bed was uncomfortable. Staff is extremely helpful & friendly. Parking lot is well lit

Definitely a hotel that has seen some neglect. The beds were comfortable and the TV was a nice size and in good condition. However the room was missing lightbulbs, had outlets that did not work and wasn’t the cleanest room I’ve stayed in.

We arrived late and the first room we were given was not turned over. We booked a room that said it was two queen beds, but what we got was two doubles. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and the public areas were clean.

Staff were friendly and helpful! It's an older hotel, but our room was clean, the heat worked well, hot water and good water pressure. It was also very quiet overnight. We were towing an RV travel trailer and appreciated the large parking lot across the street.

Location and Bang 4 the Buck!
Im retired military and have stayed all over the world. I don't know how but I slept better here than just about any other hotel. Incredibly quiet, pet friendly, breakfast was impressive for what I'm used to, and location was perfect! I'm going to be returning here and this is my go to budget spot for Bloomington/Normal.

The inside of the building and the building itself were tapped up very well. The rooms were beautiful, clean and seemingly newly remodeled. However, the ground the parking lot had humongous, potholes, overgrown, weeds, garbage laying all over the parking lot. That being said, the staff was great.
