The rooms were clean and the bar next door was nice. Everything else needs improvement. The staff were nice but could not answer any questions The lobby had an old, musty smell. The grounds surrounding had concrete falling apart, the landscaping and courtyard were full of weeds. From the outside, the property looks abandoned. None of the pictures online are a true representation of how the place really looks. Very dated Will not stay again.

Perfect place for an overnight in Bloomington, IN! Staff was amazing and room was spotless. Coffee they served in the morning was from a local roaster, very impressed! We were in an EV and chose this hotel because they had listed charging access. They did have multiple charging places, but they were only 110v. Just be aware. It served our purpose, but don't plan on pulling in "empty" and getting a quick charge to continue your trip. There are multiple levels 2 and higher charges a short distance from the hotel. Overall, loved the accommodations and would totally stay again!

It was a short trip, we didn’t get to spend as much time as we would have liked to enjoy the outdoor garden. The variety of plants and flowers was impressive. The shower was dated and cracked and the water had to be maxed heat to be warm for the shower. Breakfast left a lot to be desired

This is an old building, and some of the concrete is in need of repair, but that is my ONLY criticism, and I know that in the current economy that would be impractical. I likes everything else. The management and staff are efficient and friendly, the garden is beautiful, and the bird-watcjing opportunities from the balcony are excellent!

People banging on your door in the middle of the night trying to gain entrance. Staff didn't seem to care when called. I think they leave at 1am. Cops called. Happened two nights in a row so seems like the norm there. Someone ended up in the hospital. Someone ended up in jail. Couldn't wait to leave. I'll never recommend this place!!
