Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bloomington - Normal by IHG
4/10 Poor
"For $200 a night I don't expect perfection, but at the very least expect a clean room and a hotel that is in decent condition. The hotel itself is a little more beat up than other Holiday Inn Express sites I have stayed in. The manager was friendly and accommodating so absolutely no issues there. My main issue was the cleanliness of the room. Upon entry, room 111 was musty/stuffy and felt damp. The bed was clean but there were ants in the room that eventually made their way to the bed the next morning. There were greasy fingerprints on just about every hard surface, so it was clear the room had not been properly cleaned. The bathroom was also dirty, shower floor was nasty and there was hair on the shower wall and on the shampoo bottles (not ours..we hadn't used it yet). The breakfast was decent with a fair amount of options and the coffee was good. The room doors slam HARD and fast which did wake us up a couple times. There is no reason for a room door to slam that hard. Overall I would not recommend this hotel if you value a clean room and a good night's sleep. There are plenty of better options in the area. "
"I feel they should have two waffle makers for the weekends that they are booked to capacity.
I was given two keys for room, but one wouldn’t work first day, then the other stopped working in the morning.
I found small ants in bathroom towels and one on my bed.
I found my room on the 3rd floor to be clean and quite pretty. Thankfully, it did not smell like the 1st and 2nd floor. There is a heavy smell of chemical cleaners as soon as you open the main entrance doors.
"
"The shower was missing a door handle.
There were long hairs in the shower and on the shower wall. The bathroom light was out so it was very dark in the bathroom. The A/C sounded like it was loud."
"Loud guests screaming / cursing fighting. Kids yelling and screaming running up and down hallway. Called front desk and they couldnt understand what I was saying. They finally understood but did nothing. Wouldn’t refund money so I actually left at like 9:30 pm. Couldn’t take it anymore. Would not go back and tell others to avoid. "

Holiday rentals offer amenities such as patios, hot tubs and fire pits so you'll feel just like you're at home. If you're concerned about cleanliness, a holiday rental can provide a sense of seclusion away from public hotel lifts and busy lobbies while still allowing you the excitement and enjoyment of travel.
