An Extraordinary Stay
Although my stay was top notch from check-in to check-out, the included breakfast (from a menu) stood out as the best I have had at a hotel or B & B. It was incredible as was the wait staff who took my order and delivered exceptional service.

Stay recommended
Showers Inn was awesome. The house was gorgeous, the room I stayed in was so quaint and adorable. I felt like I stepped back in time. Despite being in the middle of a college town it was quiet at night. The neighborhood was very safe and walkable and there were plenty of restaurants and bars to walk to in about 10 minutes. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay that isn’t a cookie cutter hotel. Can’t wait to return!

A wonderful B&B. There is the main house but we stayed in the annex called The Composer in room 110 (2nd floor, corner room). Breakfast was delicious and well worth the stay. Only drawbacks: 1) the only have ROKU service so we never were able to access cable news 2) it is a double bed but comfortable.

I had a good time at Showers Inn at Bloomington. It is a family owned business, so kind of relaxed and chilled. The room was spacious. The breakfast is made to order and is of high quality. The property is right near the downtown, and close walking distance to shopping and dining options. It rains a lot at Bloomington, and is very humid, so beware of mosquitoes and bed bugs.
