"Great location for IU family weekend, super clean, able to bring our dog, very spacious rooms, little details—little repairs needed here and there were noted. Waited last minute to book on our way there and paid a much more “reasonable” price for two nights (still crazy cost). Lots of good walkable restaurants in the area. The hotel itself for location and the event going on, was perfect for what it was. Would not otherwise pay what we did for this particular hotel. But it was ok."

When is the best time to go to Bloomington?

The best time to go to Bloomington is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.Spring in Bloomington brings pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, and the campus of Indiana University is particularly scenic as everything comes into bloom. This is a lovely time for couples or solo travellers who enjoy outdoor activities like strolling through the university grounds or exploring the local parks without the high heat of summer. You'll find many local shops and cafes with outdoor seating opening up for the season.Autumn offers similarly comfortable weather, with temperatures between 10°C and 20°C, and the landscape transforms with vibrant fall foliage, especially around the state parks just outside of town. This season is ideal for visitors who appreciate scenic drives and hiking. It's also a great time to experience college town energy, as the Indiana University academic year is in full swing, offering a variety of cultural events and, for sports fans, American football games.While summer (June to August) is warm, sometimes reaching over 30°C, and can be humid, it's still a good option if you plan to spend time by Lake Monroe or enjoy water-based activities.
