Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Bloomington

8/10 Good

"Nice, helpful staff. Clean rooms. The parking situation is a little confusing but it worked out fine. I stayed on the second floor and I must say it got noisy at night due the people in the street. Overall, a perfectly fine place to stay."

Grant Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love the Grant St Inn. It’s very convenient for visiting our son at IU. It’s centrally located and walking distance to campus Kirkwood Ave., and our favorite restaurants. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are very comfortable - nice and clean. And all the little extras are very thoughtful: homemade breakfast, homemade cookies and brownies in the evening with coffee and tea available all day not to mention the little bowls of candy. It’s really a very sweet little Inn."

IU Biddle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I've always wanted to stay here, so glad we went for it! The bed was comfortable and the room was large (ours was a king, I've heard some of the rooms are smaller). It was really cool to stay down the hall from the Union that I grew up going to! There's a Keurig in the room and Sugar and Spice down the hall if you want to get coffee there instead. Great stay!"

Travelodge by Wyndham Bloomington

8/10 Good

"The staff were kind, and the place was clean and managed well, especially for the price bracket I was looking for. However, it is a cheaper option for a reason. The TV was glitchy. There were only two pillows to each queen bed, and though they were soft they were divided between three of us and they flattened so much it was less than comfortable. They knew three people would be in the room but there were only the standard 2 sets of different sized towels waiting. And the staff member I saw first was sitting so low behind the counter I had trouble seeing and hearing him clearly as I am quite short. But all of that was perfectly acceptable for the price! Just worth mentioning. And it’s worth noting I never asked for more pillows or towels since the stay was just a quick sleep. However, my only actual complaint is that I called about their pet policy and I was told there was a $35 fee. I asked clearly if that was really it and if there were any other hidden fees to worry about for the room and was told on the phone very clearly “No. The room is a set price and the pet fee is $35.” But when I arrived, I had a sudden $100 pet deposit to pay. I almost couldn’t due to budget restrictions. He said, “It’s normal.” Price transparency matters! Still, the complementary breakfast was nice, with options, and the establishment was right on a main road so there were plenty of places to go to shop and eat. It was perfect for a place to crash for a couple hours between destinations."
