Thanks, friendly

4.0 / 10.0

Room 302 was terrible. It stunk so badly that even after the windows were opened and a fan was circulating that room for 8 hours it still smelled so bad. The sheets smelled bad, pillows, and towels too. I assume it's probably in the carpet too. One of the bath towels was also dirty, and so was a wash cloth. Friendly and patient staff. All the other rooms were great! We will be back! Breakfast was great! I bought 5 rooms and 4/5 were great! Thank you for hosting us!

Spacious. Plan to stay again.

6.0 / 10.0

Staff was nice. Room was clean but very well used. Sofa couch looks like it had been there since 1970s. whole establishment needs to be redone. Very old and creepy vibes. Hallway odorous. Next to a noisy freeway. Would definitely not stay again.

3.0 / 10.0

When we vacated our other Bloomington hotel due to unacceptable condition, we had limited options. This hotel was very welcoming: a truly lovely staff. The 3-star score is only that low because we had one of the unrenovated rooms and it was quite dated and the sofa(bed) upholstery and seat cushions were in bad shape. Pros( in addition to the staff): clean facility and room with comfortable bathroom and kitchen, good TV. Surprisingly quiet and convenient location. Perfectly nice comp hot breakfast. Really nice, clean little pool helped us decompress. I would gladly return but request a renovated room.

The staff was very efficient and friendly. This property needs some TLC. Surprised that Marriott would let one of their properties get this run down. Our bed was uncomfortable, sagged in the middle. Air conditioner quite loud. Printer downstairs broken so unable to print boarding passes.

6.0 / 10.0

Although the employers were very nice the hotel is extremely dated. I recognize it was graduation weekend but we paid well over $800 for what should have cost less than $100.

2.0 / 10.0

moldy shower curtain, the rooms smelled moldy and the caulking was all old and cracked. They price gauged because of the university. Graduation was $700 another time over $300 and the toilets didn't work.

I don't think I could have gotten more for my money. This is an older property so it's a little frayed in places, but the hardworking (yes, I watched them) staff keep it clean and tidy as possible. I found all of the staff members to be helpful and courteous.I was left with a warm feeling when I checked out.

The hotel is in desperate need of updates. Floors, both carpet and laminate were filthy. The air conditioner was so loud you could not sleep. I had to ask for anything I needed, including cleaning the room. We stayed a month and they only came around twice to see what we needed. They had two fire drills, which we were not notified prior, which scared my doggie terribly. The pool was not open at all, due to “a crack in the concrete”. There is nowhere to sit outside. The landscaping is deplorable. The side door was left unlocked the entire time so anyone could walk in. The breakfast was rarely ready on time. They charged us $300 for my small dog to stay, which they did not have to clean up after inside or out. There is no refund for a reason, once we got here and saw the unacceptable state of this hotel, it was too late to leave. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, human or animal.

2.0 / 10.0

We stayed 7 days and never got the room cleaned, even though there was supposed to be housekeeping every other day. We asked twice to have the room cleaned and to get fresh towels: once the trash was dumped and we got towels, but the second time we were told no - we did get towels but were given a trash bag and told where to put our trash. I never imagined staying 7 days in a hotel and never getting fresh sheets or having the room cleaned. First and last time staying here.

Good location right off the highway with several restaurants in walking distance.

The pool water was way too cold and the stove barely worked which defeated the purpose of going. But it was still a good time. Plus the room was very clean.

10.0 / 10.0

My family and I stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. We enjoyed the full kitchen because we could cook the groceries that we bought saving some money from constantly eating out. We were impressed with the variety and quality of options for their complimentary breakfast. The staff are all very helpful when we need to borrow things we suddwnly needed. Their outdoor pool was closed but we were allowed to use the indoor pool of Fairfield Suites which is just a couple of minutes walk. We had a fantastic stay and next time we go to Bloomington, we are definitely staying athe TownePlace again.

3.0 / 10.0

Hotel should be ashamed to gouge customers there to view the eclipse - charging $500/night for an outdated, shabby, raggedy room. Carpet in the room was stained in several places; sofa looked like it had been there for at least 2 decades; burners on stove were old and worn; furniture appeared to have come from a thrift shop. The hotel needs some serious upgrading and updating, especially if they're going to have the nerve to overprice to such a degree during special events. On the plus side, 1) every employee we dealt with was exceptionally friendly & helpful; 2) breakfast was good; 3) parking was convenient; 4) hotel is well-located for getting/off interstate
