Barclay Gardens Hotels, Bloomington

"I was disappointed in our stay. We arrived and checked in. Were told how to get to our room, pool hours, tv channels and if we wanted a hair dryer, we had to check one out. We went to the room suite and I was disappointed. In the kitchen, there weren’t any paper towels, no dish rag or towel, exterior of microwave and greasy prints and freezer had hair in it. There were two forks and the room sleeps 4. One closet had towels drying on the hangers from previous occupants. The shower liner was molded at the bottom. The other bathroom didn’t have hot water in the shower. There was a big hole in the comforter and windows were dirty. The pool area was a little run down but served its purpose. We weren’t told where to get pool towels or return them. There was a guy vaping in the pool area with the window open. We visited the pool for two days and there was a sanitary napkin wrapper on the floor, in the same location for two days. Location was good. "

"Great place, with friendly staff. "

"This hotel is okay. It is close to IUB dorms when you pick up or drop off your kid at college. Shopping and some restaurants are close. WARNING: You want an upstairs room; the quality and cleanliness are much better on the second floor. I always order a balcony room, to ensure I get a room on the 2nd floor BUT Hotels.com doesn't communicate with Travelodge that a balcony room was booked. I have had to take a photo of my reservation to prove that I paid an additional fee for a balcony room. I have even put in the comments on Hotels.com, but Travelodge doesn't get it. ALSO, don't do check-in through Wyndham. You'll get a text asking you to do so, you'll go through a lot of rigmarole, and it amounts to nothing (other than they collect a lot of your personal information and credit card info). Travelodge won't receive it, and you'll have to go through the process all over again at the hotel. "

"Nice but needs updates. "

"For the price, it’s a good place to stay. I usually give good reviews after each stay here but not this time. At check in, the person working the front desk was so incredibly rude. So unnecessary and made us feel unwelcome. The room itself was fine. Clean sheets. Clean towels. Only issue was the tv was not working. I called the front desk to ask if someone could fix it. I was told maintenance would be there in a few minutes to fix. No one showed up. "

"Staff was super friendly. Will be back soon."

"Yes and yes "

"Wonderful place to stay! Friendly staff! Great price "

"The customer service was exceptional and the location was definitely the best part. We were near our sons dorms and all events for parents weekend. "
