Top Downtown Bloomington Hotel Reviews

Fourwinds Lakeside Inn & Marina

8/10 Good

"The property is a little dated in decor, but the grounds are beautiful and well kept. I stayed on a Tuesday and the restaurants were only open on weekends...which is understandable for the time of year. I was glad the gate person told me the only restaurant open was the golf club and to head over there. I arrived an hour and 20 min before check-in and was told the early check in fee was $68. I have never had anyone charge an early check in fee if the room was ready, and this felt very off putting. If it was high season, totally understandable, but there was not a single person in site. The young lady at the counter was very unwelcoming, no smile even when I told her how happy I was to be there after hours of driving. I have to say this kind of ruined the experience for me. The same person checked me out the next morning and was a bit more friendly, and I was able to sit by the pool even after check out."

Brown County Inn

8/10 Good

"We only stayed for one night but we had everything we needed. Super convenient with the restaurant/bar being right there. Plus, super cool they have activities set up for people. We would definitely stay again. You can tell this place has been around for a long time, but it has been redone recently. It was comfortable and the staff were al great!"
