First, I had to sign something that was explained as "You will not smoke, bring in pets, steal or break anything...". The room smelled horrid of mold, the paint was chipping off the walls, there were numerous holes drilled in the frame of the door of the room (just looked creepy), the pool had a 3" spider floating in it, stains on the bedding (large),

Location and Bang 4 the Buck!

Im retired military and have stayed all over the world. I don't know how but I slept better here than just about any other hotel. Incredibly quiet, pet friendly, breakfast was impressive for what I'm used to, and location was perfect! I'm going to be returning here and this is my go to budget spot for Bloomington/Normal.

Needs a good cleaning!

This hotel needs a good cleaning, new ceiling tiles (Moldy), carpet replacement (wet), and better breakfast service. The staff were very kind, but the hotel is in disrepair.

Inexpensive, I accidentally stayed there twice. First time was notable because staff member walked into the room while I was nude and tub would not hold water - busted stopper. Second time busted tub stopper again, door had safety locks missing, graffiti on walls inside room, and Mexicans playing loud music in parking lot until midnight. But over all it was clean and friendly. Worth the price? Debatable.

The nicest thing about this hotel was the parking. I was checked in by maintenance because the front desk clerk was outside smoking on her phone. The room was gross. Multiple broken things around the room, beer bottles next to the bed, paint literally coming off the walls. Breakfast was non-existent. How they could even say they served breakfast is a joke. Will never stay here again that's for sure.

My stay here was okay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Towels and shower curtains were stained. The door seemed outdated. There were very limited breakfast options. No elevator, but a case of stairs. The A/C and microwave were amazing. Ideal for anyone booking a last-minute trip at a fairly reasonable cost.

I needed a few days away to decompress and I'm so glad I choose this location. The man who greeted me and checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. He has an amazing professionalism and quite the sense of humor. It was so very apprecited especially since I was just trying to escape for a few days. The room was nice and clean. A great value also! The lady the next day was super friendly. I felt very welcome by both of them. I will definitely stay here again when i need a break from life.
