Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bloomington/Normal IL

10/10 Excellent

"Bed was comfortable and the room was clean"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington-Normal Airport, IL

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and simple. All of the staff that we interacted with were very nice and helpful. The room was clean, well stocked with towels, cups, coffee and toiletries. The beds and pillows were so comfortable, maybe the best night's sleep I've ever had in a hotel. The pool was nice and very clean. I didn't use the fitness center but it looked nice, equipment looked like it was in good conidition. Microwave, coffee maker and fridge in the room were in good condition, all worked well. Iron and hair dryer in the room as well. There is a washer and dryer available in the hotel for guests which would be very convenient for a longer stay. The breakfast was very good- waffle maker, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, cereal, fruit, various bread items and muffins, juice, coffee, tea and more. The dining area was very clean and well stocked. We only stayed one night but I was very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay there again if I'm in the area."

Holiday Inn Bloomington - Normal by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stopped at this hotel on our way to Des Moines Iowa. It's convenient to the highway, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the temperature was good. We checked in late (10 pm) and left early (5 pm) so we didn't get to use a lot of amenities. We were told that the pool wasn't warm -- heater want working (no worries for us) and given keys to the room and instructions on how to find it. Checkout was straightforward. Turned in our keys and we were off. We liked that we didn't have to pay for a breakfast we weren't going to be able to eat because we left so early."
