Green Valley Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice room. Clean and well organized. Enjoyed the room for my stay."

Best Value Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and appears to have newer updates. Staff is wonderful and very polite. We were attending a football game and the 15-20 minute walk to the stadium was the reason we selected the hotel. Highly recommend staying here! Added bonus is the pancake restaurant next door is delicious!"

Hotel Nashville

8/10 Good

"We had to walk up some steps carrying luggage but overall it is good."

Artists Colony Inn

8/10 Good

"The location of The Artist Colony couldn’t be better. Right in the middle of town so it was very easy to take our packages back or take a short break. The rooms are all upstairs but there is an elevator to get our luggage to our room. We did enjoy sitting out on the balcony. There is also a restaurant on the main level which we tried twice. I was disappointed in both my meals but there are several others close by. I would definitely stay there again mainly due to the location."

IU Biddle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, convenient onsite parking, walkable to nearby shopping and dining on Kirkwood and campus. Clean, friendly staff and IU theme decor makes this hotel special. Grounds beautifully landscaped all year round. Gorgeous hotel inside and out. Starbucks nearby in the Union where hotel is located. Perfect for short or longer stays. Always a top hotel choice for us in Bloomington. Go Hoosiers!"

Hyatt Place Bloomington

10/10 Excellent

"Great bed and pillows. Great breakfast."
