Hard bed but Everything else was good.
Stayed in Suite with Jetted Tub. Jets felt great on lower back until you try to sleep in the really firm bed. Could use updates but overall worth trying.

A Night in Bloomington IL
Hotel is under renovation. Check in was timely, Room arrangement could use some attention, furniture was too close to door opening. Otherwise room was well equipped and was able to operate TV with minimal fuss.

Very good but can improve.
The room service was very accommodating and courteous. Did a good job cleaning. However, there was only one small bar of bath soap and insufficient shampoo for a room that accommodates 4 people.

ISU move in
The location was great, stayed here while doing an ISU move in. The hotel is decent but has kind of an odd layout. If you have a room that starts in the low numbers you have to walk all the way down the hall from the front desk to get to an elevator to go up and then walk all the way back over to your room. There is a stair case you can walk down instead but that leads you to the parking lot. Also, the a/c did not get very cold and the curtain was broken.

Was very pleased and impressed with the room. Did not realize we were getting a private hot tub when I reserved the room. So much for the price! Very nice! Would definitely recommend and/or stay here again.

Great service, clean and comfortable!!!👍👍
We were greeted by "V" and "Z" very friendly young ladies at the front desk! This was a very last minute passing by reservation to just get some rest after a lond day of traveling. We were not disappointed at all, everything is very clean and comfortable! The room fit our families needs perfectly. Great experience we will definitely stay here again if we are passing through!
