Lovely staff, warm pool, comfortable rooms, excellent water pressure, and the breakfast was great! Walks were a bit thin, but that’s not the end of the world.
We only stayed overnight on two seperate occasions, but this was a very nice play to stay in Bloomington. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the room was clean with everything functioning properly.
Very clean, quiet and very comfortable! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful!! We’d definitely stay here again!
