Our room was pretty standard with a closet, bed, desk, and a tv. We had a view of the parking lot from it. The bathroom was clean. I just wish it had had an additional towel rack or clothing hanger. There was technically breakfast included, but not a lot which is fair since the price was about $57 a night. Breakfast was a couple of cereals, granola bars, and some packaged danishes. There was also milk, coffee, teas, and a couple of juices. All in all if you're looking for a simple place where you just need to sleep and hang out, this could be a good option for you.

This review is going to differ a bit from my usual style. I try to steer clear of doing pro/con…read morelists.. but that's really the only way here. So I'll do each and then elaborate. Pros Room Size Clean Big Shower Temperature Controls Mini Fridge and Microwave Desk (In King Room) Good Amount of storage Free Breakfast Close to Downtown All of these are fairly self- explanatory. Some may seem like I'm reaching to find the good and well I kind of had to. Mind you over all the rooms are nice but there are definitely some things that will keep me from coming back. I will now present you with that list and that will come with much more elaborate detail. Cons NO ELEVATOR 100 Dollar Security Deposit (Refunded) Ice Machine on Bottom Level Cheap Ice Bucket with no lid Uneven Floors- Foundation Issue? Weak WiFi Free Breakfast Breakfast Area Fully Visible to Front Desk Creepy Manager / Unprofessional Manager Hygiene No Pool Room issues Highway Noise Paranormal Experiences * I'm just gonna elaborate on this one item at a time.. One of the biggest and most glaring issues for me is the fact that there is no elevator in this hotel. I'm surprised that that's not mandatory at this point in any hotel but that was my first issue. Now anyone who has ever stayed in the hotel and been the one that pays, you know there's often a security deposit associated in case anything is broken damaged or taken. Until staying at this hotel the largest security deposit I'd ever heard of was $40. I think $100 is absolutely ridiculous. So if after this review you still want to stay here be mindful of that. The other thing I've never understood no matter what hotel it occurs at is only having an ice machine on one floor. You run water through the entire building. Put an ice machine on every level especially if you don't have an elevator. Which directly leads into my next complaint you want to keep that with your ice buckets fine, but give them a lid otherwise it's just pointless unless you're thinking everyone's going to use all the ice at once. 90% of the time we're not. Their Wi-Fi is weak at best. For a casual cell phone user like myself it's not a huge issue however if you're trying to do any type of business it won't work for you. Their free "Breakfast " . Yes I listed this under Pros as well because I understand that they don't have to offer it. But if you're going to don't be cheap about it. Even extraordinarily basic motels offer at least one hot option. You hard boil eggs, it wouldn't be difficult to scramble them up, put them in a warming tray ... buy bread.. plug in a toaster and offer eggs and toast. As you'll see from my pictures there was more than enough room to do so. And if cereal is going to be your main offering , offer more than one type of milk. Especially given today's very prevalent diet restrictions. I also wasn't a fan of the fact that the front desk attendant can fully see the entire breakfast area I understand that security is important but that's what you have cameras for and I thought it was creepy with the guy watching me eat. Speaking of a sudden manager or front desk attendant, or whatever his title was let's talk about workplace hygiene. Because when he came past me to check the breakfast area, let's put it nicely and say he did not smell clean. Also I don't believe a t-shirt is appropriate work attire. Unless it's a polo offered by the company. The lack of pool was not a huge issue for me but if you're traveling with kids it might be. Just another thing I wanted to make note of. Now getting to the actual room itself, as I stated the rooms themselves are fairly nice and definitely spacious. However, being on the second floor of this hotel made me extremely uneasy. Because as you make your way to the bed and then make your way back from the bed there is a very noticeable slant in the floor which to me speaks of foundational issues. There are lots of cracks in the ceiling as you'll see in two of my pictures. There is a slant in the bathroom floor as well . There was an our room anyway . The hotel is also directly off the highway which makes for a less than peaceful nights sleep. Tying into that is my final con. Shake your head and laugh if you will but both my boyfriend and I had paranormal experiences including hearing voices and detecting movements and sounds that were not coming from either of us. In our rush to leave I forgot to take a picture but also one of the pillars in the lobby has a significant gap between the pillar itself and the ceiling. I'm sorry this is long but you guys know how I feel about being entirely honest so I wanted you to know my full feelings and experience at this location. For about $30 more go somewhere else or use your own judgment on choosing this location. ** the staff is extremely friendly and the hotel is clean but those are the two most positive things I can say**

These rooms are suites with the studio being the smallest. It's great to have a kitchen area (with a dishwasher and mini stove!) and some space to relax besides your hotel bed. The studio has a 3 person couch with ottoman and it just feels "homey". The furniture is not worn and decor is not dated or looking tired. I'm so happy I found this place. The staff is really nice. The amenities are ample: a pool, fitness center, basketball court, free hot breakfast, and lounge area where check in is. Self-parking is free unlike some of the other hotels a mile away. Overall, a nice place for a single person, couple, or a family. I wanted to take off one star because the floors could've been swept a little better but minor compared to the craziness I saw at the first hotel I checked in at-- that place has 3.5 stars on Yelp (how?!?!). This Marriott is leaps and bounds nicer than that so 4 stars wouldn't do this Residence Inn justice so all the stars go to them because relatively speaking, I think this one is the true chain hotel gem.

The hotel is quiet, very clean, and well-maintained. My studio room with a kitchenette (see video) was spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. One of the highlights was the complimentary breakfast each morning. There was a nice variety of options, and it was a great way to start the day without having to leave the hotel. The location is also convenient, with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. When you combine the clean rooms, friendly atmosphere, free breakfast, and reasonable rates, this hotel offers excellent value for the money. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there's always room for a little improvement, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It definitely exceeded my expectations and turned out to be a hidden gem.

Rides Unlimited is a private driving service that serves Bloomington/Normal 24 hours a day. Franki and her husband are always on call and can pick you up from any destination in town. I told Franki that I needed to get to a hotel across town and she was on it! She knew how to get there, and even showed me how to easily get to another place that I needed to visit the following morning. Franki was such a sweetheart and very fun to ride with. Not only that, but her driving was perfect. I felt comfortable riding in the back seat. The prices are very fair. It cost me $25 to get across town, which was absolutely a reasonable price. Please do keep in mind that Rides Unlimited only accepts cash, Cash App or Zelle. When I was ready to head back to the airport, I didn't even bother with checking the ride-share apps. I called Franki to schedule a drop off and she was at my location on time. When I'm back in town, I know who I'm going to call to help me get to my destination.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was not. By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were too exhausted to go searching for a restaurant. So, we decided to give the café a try. The menu was very limited. There was not much at all to choose from. I had a stuffed chicken with an overpowering amount of sun dried tomatoes. I love sun dried tomatoes, but this was way too much of a good thing. I didn't even eat half of it. The chicken was served on a bed of cold mashed potatoes and cold sauce. My husband had a nothing-special steak, but we had no energy to complain, so we just asked for the check so we could leave. With 2 iced teas and a tip, the bill came to $75! For 2 people to eat dinner here is $75?! The hotel really has a monopoly on dining there. The only other food within walking distance was Steak N Shake, which was not quite what we had in mind. Also, I can't help but mention that the décor in the restaurant (and the hotel overall) was awful. The dining room was a salmon/orange color with these huge yellow stained glass windows around the private dining rooms. Dreadful. I would give this restaurant 1 star, if not for the waitress. She was very nice, and I felt bad for her having to wear that terrible salmon/orange polo shirt. Any place that charges $75 for 1 plate of chicken and 1 plate of steak should have a better uniform. Have mercy!

We happened to visit on a Saturday during the farmers market, a time during which the full museum (essentially the whole building) is free as well! (Otherwise adults are $5 and seniors over 65 are $4). We were very impressed by this local museum and would compare it to the museum at the St. Louis Arch. Educational with lots of artifacts and some interactive portions - great for history buffs and families! The building itself is also beautiful architecturally inside and out which we enjoyed. Lots of cool things in the gift shop, including the bean pots that Steak n Shake used to sell baked beans in prior to removing them from their menus during the pandemic (RIP to my favorite fast food restaurant side). They also sell and stamp the Route 66 and National Park passports here. Definitely worth a stop!
