We checked in and we're given a room on the second floor. When we opened the door, the room was still dirty. Pillows and bedding were on the floor and the counters were filled with trash and old food boxes. We went back downstairs and they gave us a second room. Things were ok until we turned the beds down and there were muddy paw prints and dog hair all over the sheets. We went back to the front and the lady working apologized again. She said they are short staffed with cleaners. I get that things happen, but 2 rooms being not cleaned or missed is 2 too many! We went to a third room and it was fine. The building is older and is in need of a full remodel. The breakfast was fine.

My children, myself and my mother who has breathing issues, stayed in room 1108. The room looked to have had water damage down the wall that the headboards are on. The floor on the far side of the room felt slightly moist. In the closet, there is black mold. There was left over food in the fridge upon opening it to put our food in. There was candy trash on the floor on the far side of the room, under the lip of the bed. When getting into bed the first night, my white pillow case had a strand of black hair indicating they were not clean.

The staff entered our room and began cleaning it while we were eating breakfast. We did not ask them too or give them permission. We just happened to return while they were still in the room. They had swept some of our personal belongings, including cash, into a waste basket and had already taken it from the room.
We confronted the staff and the returned our items. We canceled the second night of our reservation.

I was very pleased with the friendly staff and in particular the hotel mgr Jerry. I was traveling last second for a family emergency and they were extremely accommodating - more so than the Hotels.com reps as I was just trying to push my day up one outside of the 24-hour window (Tuesday vs. Monday). Thankfully Jerry took mercy, recognized my situation and made an accommodation. Hotels.com should take a lesson from Jerry given unexpected life events.

It was fine for staying to lay a place to head down. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The room was incredibly small. Not dirty in a way that they didn't clean it, but dirty because it's older. We stayed at a Comfort Inn in Illinois on our way to Indiana. Bigger room, cleaner shower and bathroom. The breakfast was way better in Illinois. But the people who greeted us were great in Indiana! I like that. I don't think we'll stay at a Comfort Inn again. It's ok for folks who need a quick overnight moving ok to a new place

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this hotel was unacceptable. The bathroom had visible mold, which is not only unpleasant but a serious health concern. The carpet was stained throughout the room, giving the entire space a dirty, neglected feel. Worst of all, the sheets were not clean, which is the bare minimum any guest should be able to expect.

For the price and the reputation this property claims to have, the level of cleanliness was extremely disappointing. I hope management addresses these issues immediately, because as it stands, I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone.
I will be requesting a refund

I was wondering why this was the only place with availability. Never in my life did I think I’d pay over $500 a night for a crappy room at the comfort inn. I should’ve been clued in with the scotch tape holding the wallpaper up in the hallway. If you’re going to price gouge on a busy IU weekend, don’t make me feel like I have to get a penicillin shot after leaving.

This hotel was in terrible condition. It was very run down and the rooms were not clean. The sink in the bathroom would not drain and the toilet barely flushed. I was moving my youngest son to Indiana University and stayed here for 3 nights. I had to pay $400/night for this hotel which was in totally unacceptable condition. I will never stay at this hotel again. I am extremely disappointed in my stay.

Comfort Inn Bloomington <0 Starts

I had tried all week to contact the hotel to advise of a late check-in in accordance with our travel plans to no avail. Upon arrival I was advised that our room had been canceled eventhough I had received an email advising of check-in (assuming automated) and asking for a review of the check-in experience. The manager advised that he would have to book a new room and I'd have to pay their full rate and request a refund from Hotels.com/Expedia. When I told him that was unacceptable and became argumentative with him he ordered me to leave the hotel and threatened to call the police. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had with a hotel and/or staff anywhere in the world in my years of travel. I'll never stay with anther Comfort Inn.
I went next door to the Holiday in and explained my experience to them and was accomodaed immediately with a discount rate and was comfortably in bed within 15 minutes.
