I always love a new property and this one was great. Clean, well maintained and in a great location - close to IU. The staff was helpful and responsive. The towels were very comfortable and the beds were fantastic. I can't wait to stay there again.

Courtyard by Marriott Bloomington
Staff was very friendly. Room very clean and comfortable. Would be nice to have free coffee in mornings in breakfast room. Noisy street and construction site across street not ideal but otherwise a fairly convenient location.
