Avoid this hotel
Avoid this hotel at all costs. You will be better off staying in a tent in a public park. It was parent’s weekend at IU and of course, I was price gouged and ended up paying 2 x what the room is worth. I expected a much better and polished experience for the additional amount I paid. This hotel is a complete disaster. 1. The hotel has an overall stench. It spells like gasoline and a chemical agent. It permeates the hallways and rooms. 2. Despite saying they offered it, they don’t provide maid service. When I inquired about it after being away from my room for 8 hours the front desk person said they may get around to it. They never got around to it on a two-night stay. 3. The bathtub did not drain. At all. When I told the front desk at 8am when I returned at 5pm in the afternoon the tub was still full. When I inquired at the front desk they had no record of my maintenance request. They said the morning person with whom I made my request never wrote down the request even though they had a maintenance person on site that day. Service isn’t really something they believe in. I cannot reiterate enough - do not stay at this hotel.

I was grossly overcharged during parents weekend for a motel like location. No amentities and there was a skeleton staff. They limited towels.and there was zero service. For $400/night I at least exoected that I could buy water, but they were even out of that! Dirty, old, and outdated pretty much sums it up!

A Hoosier Welcome
Overall we enjoyed our stay even if for just one night. We were there as part of a sporting event at IU so the proximity to the campus was awesome and Bloomington is a real college town! The room was nice, clean and the A/C worked well! Most importantly I appreciated the late checkout we requested due to a volleyball match that night and a late flight home. There were a few things that I feel need to be checked. First, when we bringing in our luggage to the second floor there was a very distinct rancid smell, almost like someone had thrown up in the hallway. It was not pleasant. In addition, some of the hotel fixtures like the elevator floor, the buttons and the door, were very dirty and did not look cleaned in awhile. Finally, the hotel entrance is also very confusing and the hotel looks like it is attached to the Comfort Suites.
