I had a great stay only because the reservationist at the Hotel was able to find me a room that Hotels.com failed to reserve with the Biddle Hotel. I had made a reservation through Hotels.com weeks in advance. However, for whatever reason, the Biddle Hotel had no record of it under my name or the reservation number that Hotels.com had given me.

The Biddle is a spacious, clean hotel that is finished and furnished with a touch of class. It is one of our favorite hotels anywhere. We love the proximity to IU auditorium. There are numerous food options in the adjoining student union (they actually make GOOD pizza, comparable to Manhattan). Also, several restaurants are within walking distance. The campus can be a bit busy at times but The Biddle is an oasis of calm.
