cute little suite

This is a cute little suite! A decent kitchenette that would be great for an extended stay. conveniently located off the highway and close drive to downtown Bloomington. The room, bedding, bathroom, and lobby looked clean and professional.

Disliked: Amenities
The location was accessible and easy to find. However the smell of the elevators about put me over the edge. It smelled like vomit. The refrigerator in our room had a clicking noise the entire time. There was no ice machine on any level except the main/ground floor. No continental breakfast.

I like the late check out time. I didn’t like that the staff knocked on our door prior to check out time. Made us feel rushed and like we had to be out because they wanted to clean the room.

This was a roadside option and was great for the purpose of a roof, bed over my head. Only issue was the parking lot had some ice and snow and that made it challenging to get around.

Does not offer online check-in. Which is fine, but it did take a while to do the actual check in at the desk. We stayed 2 nights. The 2nd night we got some snacks from their little store. When we went to the desk to have them charged to our room, we found out that we were not checked in. They did take care of it by the time we left. Overall this is more like an extended stay hotel but on the cheaper side.

Bathroom was cleanish, black hairs in tub and on floor. Room was spacious ,AC worked, pool wasn’t available, coffee machine in commissary area was NASTY!!!!! And that’s being nice. Employee, who was nice said coffee machine was broken. I basically chose this place and paid the high price compacted to others in the area just for the pool so I could spend time w my granddaughters while I was here visiting. A lot of the hotel was clean and ok, just some of the other areas weren’t.
