Graduation Weekend

It was the perfect home base for graduation festivities. Plenty of room for all and the 50s decor was fun. The other side was booked too but never would have known it.

All good. We were in town for a family reunion. Only used the property for sleeping for the most part but all was satisfactory. Ceiling fans would have been nice too stir the air, but the A/C worked great.

Good spot for campus visit

We stayed here to go to an ISU football game, convenient and close to campus. The unit was nice and served our purpose, we didn't spend a whole lot of time there but the price was right for the amount of beds there were.

My children and grandchildren were here to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. It was a perfect place for them to stay. They loved it and said it was very nice and they were comfortable. It was close to us and it worked out so well. I received ongoing communication prior to their arrival and checking went without a hitch. Highly recommend!

Awesome retro themed home

Our family drove in to meet our college student. We wanted a place close to campus and in town. This place was perfect. The space allowed us to spread out or hangout in one of the sitting areas. Lots of cool touches. The working record player gave us the impulse to pickup a few used records in downtown Bloomington. We will definitely be staying here again!
