Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Bloomington University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, easy check in, love it when things go smoothly as it always does when I book a room here"

Quality Inn Nashville - Bloomington

8/10 Good

"Property was great and stay was great but the owners just leave the property and go home with no employees on site. People with reservations showed up at 12:30am and were left standing in the lobby clueless for 2 hrs. If it were me I would’ve been bullsh*t."

Hampton Inn Bloomington

10/10 Excellent

"A"

Hilton Garden Inn Bloomington

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel located within easy walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and IU campus. Nice restaurant and bar in the lobby. The staff are friendly and helpful."

Best Value Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our A/C unit did not work when we arrived. We called the front desk and the unit was replaced with a brand new one within an hour. Excellent customer service. Will stay here again."

Artists Colony Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the room was wonderful. The room was comfortable. The jacuzzi tub/shower combo isn't good. It is very difficult to get in and out of. Towels were clean, but very dingy in color. The couch cushions are sinking so cardboard is there to make it more firm. We paid over $400 per night, so we had hoped for a little more, but it's my understanding that renovations are coming."

Salt Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Staff was extremely friendly & helpful,room was decent. Good deal/value for money"

Hotel Nashville

8/10 Good

"Unit was clean but outdated. Hotel gave good instructions for check in and out since there is no manned front desk. Our unit was 113, was part of an older apartment complex that transitioned into a hotel. Beds were very hard and the pillows were flimsy and thin. Location was good, walkable to downtown Brown County main area. Overall hotel was fine for one night we needed due to concert."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Martinsville by IHG

8/10 Good

"Everything was just ok"
