Enjoyed staying in the hotel. Breakfast included which was great! Plus there is a light supper available also from 6.00pm, which is wonderful. The towels were replaced regularly but other attention to detail was overlooked. There is a laundry available which is convenient for longer stays. There are also other restaurants close by for dining.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Bloomington this past April for business travel. It is located right off of the highway, and not too far from the downtown area. It was very clean, comfortable, and fairly good value - certainly not much more expensive than the other hotels in the city. The staff were very courteous and extremely helpful.... More

Clean hotel, great rooms, and a great staff. Like most people who virtually live in hotels I appreciate being recognized for the fact that I do so... And these folks did a great job doing so. Also, they have a managers get together MULTIPLE nights per week. Great place
