The inside of the building and the building itself were tapped up very well. The rooms were beautiful, clean and seemingly newly remodeled. However, the ground the parking lot had humongous, potholes, overgrown, weeds, garbage laying all over the parking lot. That being said, the staff was great.

The hotel managers are great people. Very kind and overworked. They did their best to be accomodating to us. Place is in the middle of renovating. Room was clean but smelled moldy. Overall, we survived and it is because of the managers, dynamic duo.

This is a tired hotel in need of some serious upkeep. Our first assigned room had a broken AC unit; the system locks you out at 9 am instead of at 11 am checkout time, requiring you to have the key cards programmed again. The staff is friendly and is doing the best they can. Can’t recommend this hotel.

Location and Bang 4 the Buck!

Im retired military and have stayed all over the world. I don't know how but I slept better here than just about any other hotel. Incredibly quiet, pet friendly, breakfast was impressive for what I'm used to, and location was perfect! I'm going to be returning here and this is my go to budget spot for Bloomington/Normal.

Needs a good cleaning!

This hotel needs a good cleaning, new ceiling tiles (Moldy), carpet replacement (wet), and better breakfast service. The staff were very kind, but the hotel is in disrepair.

Inexpensive, I accidentally stayed there twice. First time was notable because staff member walked into the room while I was nude and tub would not hold water - busted stopper. Second time busted tub stopper again, door had safety locks missing, graffiti on walls inside room, and Mexicans playing loud music in parking lot until midnight. But over all it was clean and friendly. Worth the price? Debatable.
