10/10 Excellent

"Personal muy amable"

Candlewood Suites Bloomington by IHG

8/10 Good

"The place is nice, the staff is super helpful. The only issue is that the staff tends to smoke right in front of the building. Our room was right off the front and while the building says, smoke " 10 feet from the building" that did not seem to be the case."

Wampler House

8/10 Good

"Quaint, charming, warm and friendly. The house needs upkeep such as painting and fixing outdoor areas such as decks/porches. The room I stayed in had no closet and very limited space for suitcases. No temperature control for the room other than a window and a ceiling fan."

Travelodge by Wyndham Bloomington
