Hampton Inn Bloomington

"This is an older building. King size bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was adequate but the bathtub and caulk could use some maintenance. The bedroom floor was noisy. I was on top floor and I’m sure the person below me heard my footsteps. The evening front desk staff member was attentive but not overly friendly. The cleaning staff were nice, acknowledged my visit and wished me a nice day. Even with self-check-in and digital key, make sure to go to front desk for parking tag or your car will get towed overnight. If the place is sold out or near sold out, the parking lot will be full so be aware if you drive out and don’t have space later at night. The price of the room on a Thursday night was jacked up due to a sold out Indiana women’s basketball game. Easy walking distance to IU sports venues and some nearby restaurants."

"If you’re just looking for a place to stay the night, this place is fine. Bed was alright, sheets were clean, which is much better than many hotels and motels in the Midwest. Staff is courteous and accommodating, which is nice. Unfortunately, that’s the end of the list of positives. The walls are thinner than paper. I’m saying I could hear guests checking in at the lobby 8 doors down. I could hear every single word, snore, and whisper my neighbors had. I could hear their post-coital pillow talk as if I was in the same bed. Whoever developed this place went out of their way to cut costs, and quite frankly, it’s disgusting. Wanna fall asleep to the sweet “BRRRRT” of truckers using their Jake Brakes and the melodic clapping of strangers banging? This is the place. Frankly, the average motel 6 is quieter. You’d have more privacy sleeping in the Walmart parking lot. Needless to say, I did not sleep well. If you have a phone call or a conversation broadcast to complete strangers, stay here. If you have a healthy intimate life with your partner that you want to share with the world, this is your place. To be clear, the couple next door did nothing wrong. The quality of the construction is absolutely abhorrent."

"Biggest problem was the cold air leaking from around the heating/ air-conditioning unit. When the outside temp is zero, that's a big problem! Also could hear conversation in adjacent rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was fine."

"I've been staying at his hotel for years when I'm in Bloomington and have seen it get worse and worse. The rooms are fine, although there have been toilet issues the last two times I stayed there. In particular the breakfasts have now dropped to an all-time low. There was a time when you had a choice of decent bread. Now there is toast or a cinnamon-raisin bagel (very sweet); no plain bagels or English muffins. The oatmeal is the only decent cereal. There are dry scrambled eggs only, what looks like hotdog slices and hashed browns. Cold cereals are all sweet, with added sugar. Even the raisin bran is "crisp" rather than plain. The only fresh fruit they offered were apples; no oranges or even bananas. And the only yogurt on offer was strawberry or strawberry-banana. We ended up going out for breakfast twice (Hint: Try the nearby Egg Republic -- it's delicious, although crowded, with a 20-30 min wait over Xmas). Not sure we'll stay there again. If location is all-impt, stay but don't expect a decent breakfast."

"Stayed here for one night and thank god no more than that! Hotel front desk was very friendly and accommodating, breakfast a nice bonus, but the room layout......that's another story. We got a king bedroom and the bathroom is 3 feet from the edge of the bed with a sliding door and no fan in it. You cannot do your business in there without the whole room hearing you! The soap dispenses in the shower were empty. Would not stay here again."
