Top Bloomington Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington-Normal West, IL

8/10 Good

"Show controls were poor. The sink had a major water leak the first time I used it. After investigating I reconnected the drainpipe myself and that fixed the problem. I was not impressed with the facility."

Best Western Plus Bloomington East Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable and quiet. The hotel really needs some upkeep in all areas. The pool was closed and the elevators were out of service. The breakfast was okay but again, everything needed some attention in the lobby. Not terrible,but some sprucing up is in order. I guess I got what I paid for because it was substantially less expensive than surrounding properties and I was glad I could find a room on a busy weekend for under a hundred. I did get a good night sleep, however because the room was fine. That was the most important thing."
