TownePlace Suites by Marriott Hotels in Bloomington

I mean quirky in a good way. We loved it starting with the lobby decorations and accessories. The college kids hanging out there for the free wifi ( i assume) gave it a good homey feeling. The room was unique with the door as a headboard and the other furniture and real pictures on the wall, Every interaction with the employee was pleasant and they always smiled and said hello. We will be back. we also found out they have a Stranger Things room. That means nothing to me but my wife was in awe , we didn't see it in person but looked at it online.

The breakfast was good, the coffee was good, the hotel was clean, the front desk was very good, the hotel was very satisfactory, the location was very good, there was a parking lot, and it was very convenient from the hotel to the parking lot.

Hotel was nice enough for a business trip but check in encounter was outrageous. Arrived at 12:54 after flying 2 hours and driving another hour. Went to desk and was told rooms were available BUT there would be a 40$ charge to check in prior to 1pm. 6 mins early and 40$ charge? Asked for the manager who was standing right there. He ignored us and the clerk said he couldn’t make an exception. We went out parked our car and came Back in at 12:59 and we’re ignored until 1:03. Checked in with no upcharge. I challenge Marriott corporate to verify that is a company policy. I’ve stayed at many Marriotts and NEVER encountered an issue with early check in or been told there is an upcharge. Front desk clerks were nice but seemed intimidated by management. Next trip to Bloomington will definitely not staying here again.

For the third year in a row, I stayed at the hotel for five nights to attend a conference. Megan was wonderful when I checked in at 10:00 pm on Sunday night. She was cheery and had a great smile even though it was late. On Monday and Tuesday mornings there was very little food for breakfast, no eggs or protien, only whole and chocolate milk, and no fresh fruit. I asked about the situation and was told that the health department had made the hotel dispose of all the food in their refridgerator because it was not cold enough. Tuesday, June 25th, a super cell storm hit Bloomington and the hotel lost power. Guests spent the night without electricity or air conditioning. This was not within the hotel's control and Megan was again helpful and I was able to get a mini flashlight from a fellow guest. Wednesday morning, no breakfast at all. I feel management could have done a better job for guests during my stay by going to the Kroger, about a mile away, to purchase breads, pastries, and fresh fruit for breakfast. Several staff members went above and beyond during my stay. I needed to receive a package and Corey was great to be on the lookout for the package and check for its arrival. Konner was very helpful to help me dispose of the food in my mini-fridge that spoiled due to the power outage. The hotel was clean and the room comfortable I am a Gold Elite Bonvoy member and am very loyal to Marriott brands. This experience will not affect my loyalty. I just feel management should have made an effort to deliver my usual Marriott experience.

There are biscuits and snacks in the lobby, and the guests are free to help themselves. There are not many types of breakfast, but the breakfast at the foreigner's hotel is the same. Don't be demanding. The room was very good, the bed was big, there was a microwave, and there was 24-hour hot water in the lobby, which was great for the Chinese who want to drink hot water!

My husband & I stayed at Home2 Suites while in Bloomington for the Hilly Hundred weekend. The hotel was perfect - clean, spacious, comfortable. But I'm writing to praise the extra effort extended by Barbara, from Housekeeping! I couldn't find my key fob when checking out. I'd searched everywhere - my purse, suitcase, throughout our room. My husband was miles away on his bike, riding in the annual cycling event, so he couldn't help me find it. I was stranded! Barb went back into our room and found the key fob placed on top of our ”take home” restaurant leftover my husband placed in the fridge! I'd forgotten about the leftover and didn't realize he'd placed my key fob in the fridge so I wouldn't leave without it! Whew! Thanks for saving me!

Hotel was a little dated in decor, but it was quiet and clean - which is what matters to me! Furniture and textiles were all in good shape. I appreciated the use of technology to expedite check in and check out, the tag stapled to the card holder that had info about all of the amenities, and best of all - they had gluten free bread options at breakfast. That's a rarity and some I really appreciated!

Breakfast is generally American style, suitable for bringing children. It is located in the center of Indiana University Bloomington. The environment is beautiful and the air quality is good. The hotel has a history of 110 years. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque.
