Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bloomington - Normal by IHG

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bloomington - Normal by IHG

8/10 Good
"I was very impressed with the hotel overall for the price. Great selection of food for breakfast. Rooms were a nice size and had everything we needed. There was a pool, which I loved was the perfect size for my daughter to stand up in the shallow end and swim in. The only issue was the bathtub. It was very slippery along with the slippery tile flooring in the bathroom and very unsafe!! I fell in the tub and my mom who is 72, didn't feel safe enough to use the shower. Need to add non-slip to the tub and bathroom floor!"

"Bright cheery room, comfortable bed and good pillows. Breakfast was delicious. The attendant at the desk was not very helpful. Didn’t give us breakfast hours or location of ice machine and that would have been ok if that info was in the room. The room was bright and cheery when we arrived but when we got back from dinner and turned on the lights it was a different story. There was not enough light to see where to plug in my usb cord. I had to use the flashlight on my phone. There was not enough light to read or do my needlework. More light and the room would have been perfect!"

"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."
