Disappointing

Well. We having staying here 5 or 6 years in a row. And it keeps getting wand worse. Should’ve known when they took the phones out of the rooms. Breakfast used to be excellent and Now it’s a Joke coffee not even hot no hot food at all very disappointing. There’s a bar attached to the hotel very expensive for what you get.

Was this the best place in Bloomington? Absolutely not! Was it the best deal? Absolutely! The exterior was rough but the interiors were great. Cheap for what it was; a great bargain.

Convenient for a stop off the highway. Very friendly staff. The common areas could use some work and updating but generally fine. The garden is pretty overgrown and neglected but ok to sit out and have a drink.

The bed was OK comfortable. And they did have hot water. The place needs an upgrade bathtub had tons of chips in it. I wasn’t sure if the bathroom floor was dirty or that was the way it was supposed to be.. they had absolutely drop dead, gorgeous flowers and landscaping. However, it was all being killed by Virginia creeper.. Dom was AMAZING!!

Positives: I loved the serene courtyard garden. The hotel staff was helpful, and the room was very clean. I appreciated the hotel's off-the-beaten-path location and the hotel's vintage sign was cool. Improvements: The hotel exterior needed refreshing with paint and cleaning and weeding.

I liked the cottage feel. Easy access to my car (couldn't be better}. The bed is comfortable and it is quiet. I found an ant and a spider, but that is probably par for an area so close to the wood.
