Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bloomington by IHG

Quality of food was good and location was convenient

Parking was difficult

The rooms were clean. It was a great area to stay in. It was just too bad. They were under construction, so everything was kind of a mess along with the elevator being shut down for a while because they were working on it on the weekend and the hot tub was not in use so that was a bit disappointing.

Hotel is doing renovations in the main common areas, which is good. But the rest of the hotel has not been cleaned. Found a ketchup packet had on the floor by the drapes. Very dirty carpet in room and hallways. Pool was dirty and no towels provided. Hot tub was empty and sign said it was closed by the health department.

hotel is good but might soon need to be upgraded.

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.

The staff was great. I hear breakfast was not bad.

The room had a very bad smell on entry. Sprays and scents could not mask the smell. Perhaps it was that bad because of the renovations being done.

Construction zone I didn’t know about earlier.

There was a lot going on and you had to go through construction zone to get to the elevators. Noise started one morning at 7 am. Room didn’t get cleaned both days (one day because we left Do not disturb sign up) but second day even after requesting a cleaning. If you just need a place to park yourself at night, this is OK. There’s literally no space to sit and wait even for a minute. In your room or out of the hotel.

The hotel is under construction right now. The staff was very helpful with assistance.

This hotel is old-the decor and carpets are @30 yrs old and look like it. Totally gross. At times the bathroom smelled like sewage. The lobby is undergoing a renovation, and I hope the rest of the hotel will get one, too. I will not stay there again and will warn friends not to if and until it is redone.

At times there was a strong odor of sewage in the bathroom. Decor was old (mid-90s), hall and room carpets were old and stained. Obviously the hotel needs a remodel. The lobby/1st floor was being redone, but the rest of the hotel needs it. Hopefully they will take it to the studs.
