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.

Needs a good cleaning!

This hotel needs a good cleaning, new ceiling tiles (Moldy), carpet replacement (wet), and better breakfast service. The staff were very kind, but the hotel is in disrepair.

Inexpensive, I accidentally stayed there twice. First time was notable because staff member walked into the room while I was nude and tub would not hold water - busted stopper. Second time busted tub stopper again, door had safety locks missing, graffiti on walls inside room, and Mexicans playing loud music in parking lot until midnight. But over all it was clean and friendly. Worth the price? Debatable.

The nicest thing about this hotel was the parking. I was checked in by maintenance because the front desk clerk was outside smoking on her phone. The room was gross. Multiple broken things around the room, beer bottles next to the bed, paint literally coming off the walls. Breakfast was non-existent. How they could even say they served breakfast is a joke. Will never stay here again that's for sure.

My stay here was okay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Towels and shower curtains were stained. The door seemed outdated. There were very limited breakfast options. No elevator, but a case of stairs. The A/C and microwave were amazing. Ideal for anyone booking a last-minute trip at a fairly reasonable cost.

Regret choosing.

Bathrooms had mold and no items for shampoo and air unit had ants crawling around it with ants on floor, glass doors entering broken not working. Pillow cases and sheets off white yellow stained and bed hard as rock. Scary spot

I needed a few days away to decompress and I'm so glad I choose this location. The man who greeted me and checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. He has an amazing professionalism and quite the sense of humor. It was so very apprecited especially since I was just trying to escape for a few days. The room was nice and clean. A great value also! The lady the next day was super friendly. I felt very welcome by both of them. I will definitely stay here again when i need a break from life.

Very Happy for the service given and the price pai

We had very early appointments so we could not have any food from the breakfast, but the beds were large and very comfortable for queen sizes. Just two *BUT*s in the whole staying: 1st - the ICE MACHINE were VERY PHILFY DIRT to even think put in our drinks, as the washing machine as well. 2nd - I know we arrived with couple in advance than is on the rules of the hotel to check in, HOWEVER, the "fee" charged on us ($30 !!!) it was more than half of we paid for a night on the rooms. I won't say if we arrived with 12h in advance and request early check-in and do not pay anything, but hey, the hotel already had a room empty and clear.
