IU Biddle Hotel
Came to help my son move out for the summer and lucked out getting a room at The Biddle. So convenient and nicer than the other hotels we’ve stayed at in the area. They seem to always be booked but I lucked out. If they have a room for your stay book it!

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bloomington
It was a decent stay but during the stay, one elevator was out of service and there was plumbing work so shower wasn’t working intermittently.

Graduate by Hilton Bloomington
Cute, comfortable, quiet room with easy access to all of downtown Bloomington and Kirkwood Ave. Coffee in the Poindexter Cafe was delicious... Grateful for that, because the in room coffee option wasn't great for such an overall quality hotel.
