8/10 Good

"It’s a good place to stay at to sleep comfortably. The shower needs to be updated. Had little nats coming from the drain. Pool is clean but water is very cold. Front desk lady very nice and caring. Need a few more items in the continental breakfast. Need either bagels, or other options of bread."

Hampton Inn & Suites Bloomington - Normal

8/10 Good

"We were in town for family weekend at ISU so the location was perfect. Great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. Was disappointed our TV did not work and got no answer at the desk when we tried to call for service. The shower needed new caulking and not the greatest showerhead. The toilet was super low to the floor. Perhaps a handicapped room would have a taller one? Bed was comfortable. Would stay again despite the few issues we experienced."
