Towneplace Suites Bloomington

Here is your warning. Do NOT stay here. The place is totally dilapidated and gloomy. We booked four rooms. The first room, the bathroom floor was covered in long black hair and the entire room smelled of fish. The stove was all greasy and the couch was torn up. We requested to change rooms. The second room we were greeted by pretty much the same thing ( hair on the floor, torn up furniture) but we had a special guest in this room ( see photo ). We all packed up and left and went to Homewood Suites down the road which we are VERY happy at!

Stay here overnight and it was average, a little dated but other then that it was ok for what we needed. Close to sit down restaurants like Texas Roadhouse and Cheddars, but also close to McDonalds like across the street, walking distance. Staff was nice and room was clean, Kitchenette was nice bathroom was nice, but it was sold to another company, and the nice company is in the process of updating. Overall, I would recommend for short stay and the price was reasonable.

I stayed here for 5 nights in March and was delighted with the comfort and value. It was a very convenient location right off the Interstate, but still remarkably quiet. But two things impressed me the most. The staff members were remarkably friendly and helpful. I had my cat along and many wanted to love on him. And the property, although an older one, was as clean as could be. The free breakfast was nothing special, but it was adequate, hot, and fresh each day. And I have to add, while I was checking out, I overheard bits of a morning staff meeting. O.k., so I snooped... and was glad I did. I was really impressed by the interaction between the manager, Timothy Parks, and his staff. I left with the overall impression of a committed staff working hard to make the property the best it could be. Some concern was expressed about not being able to replacements or repairs. Mr. Parks handled those well, showing he was taking them serioiusly without slamming upper corporate levels. I say all this because they were also really hurt by some recent negative reviews. My reaction to that is: people who go hunting for a bargain place to say should not expect flagship luxuries. This stay was perfect bargain: a clean comfortable room, attentive staff, great location, and a really great price. I definitely recommend it and will stay there again.
