This hotel was very nice and I was pleased with the cleanliness, service, grounds, and breakfast The lobby was so inviting and the staff was very helpful and friendly. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Yes, the hotel is "old", however it was very well kept and had character. If I needed anything, the staff went out... More

I recently stayed at a summerhouse inn, and found it was a good value with excellent service. My family and I stayed there, and enjoyed the modest but clean rooms. We also enjoyed the fire pit and the simple but adequate breakfast. The property is an older property, but well worth the privacy it gave us and the staff was... More

I didn't care that this place was old and shabby, I really didn't. The mattress was fantastic, and one of the four pillows on my king bed was pretty darn comfortable. I honestly didn't care about anything else. Until I came back at 10 at night after a long day of work and found it raining in my bathroom. After... More

The beds in this hotel must be 20 years old. The TV, above channel 10 was snowy. The light fixture on the wall in between the beds and electrical wire on the cord. The gap in the door, was so large the wind came whizzing in, and you could easily see out of it. Although clean on the surface...under and... More

I'm sure at one point this place was a lot nicer than it is now. It hasn't been remodeled or revamped in a long time. Pastels, old floral prints, and decrepit furniture are the decor. The heating and AC units are very old, and very noisy. Everything looks very dingy, and poorly maintained; from the parking lot where it's a... More

I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay one night (we were in town for a College visitation day). The room was a standard hotel room, nothing fancy but entirely adequate. If price is a priority this is an excellent place to stay. If "extras" are what you are looking for you should probably look elsewhere and expect to... More

I found this hotel online and although the ratings were lower than average I needed a place. The staff was friendly, the room was clean but somewhat outdated. My only real complaint was with the ac/heating unit. The fan was so loud that I ended up having to turn the unit off in order to get some sleep. The room... More

I stayed there 1 night while I interviewed in Bloomington. It was the only place in Bloomington I could find that would let my dog stay. The room needed more cleaning, but in their defense it was the night after a big IU game and I suspect they were swamped.

It's a motel and you get what you expect if you understand it is not a Marrott. But, the being said, it's clean, comfortable and the people are the best.
