“Clean, comfortable, spacious rooms in a great location”

I have stayed at this hotel before for business. It has since undergone extensive room renovations and the updates were well worth it. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. I appreciated the couch area to rest a bit after a long day of travel. The area nearby is very walkable and seemed very safe. I also enjoyed a walk around campus. If you need a place to stay to be near campus, this is it.

“The refresh of this property is looking good but it’s the service that sparkles.”

100% of the staff we encountered went out of their way to ask how things were or be helpful.

100% of the staff we encountered went out of their way to ask how things were or be helpful. The kids were in the pool and the towels were out, the front desk person immediately got towels when notified. I needed foam pillows they came in 5 min or less. Only breakfast had a delay due to lack of labor but we were told the kind of wait to expect and even though it must be stressful on the staff they were nothing but helpful. On our way out 4 different housekeepers or maintenance people asked us about our stay and wished us a good day. This is my 20th night in a hotel this year because of my work and it’s the most above and beyond I’ve experienced. We stay every year for the Gamma Phi Circus so we’re looking forward to next year!

The Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel & Conference Center is currently undergoing renovations, but during our stay, we did not experience any major issues that would have made our stay uncomfortable or regretful of our decision. We had seen the announcement and were questioning if we should stay or not, but ultimately, we did and do not regret it. Upon check-in, a king-sized room was not ready, but we were able to secure a double-occupancy room to get ready and start our day upon arrival at the hotel. The renovated rooms are spacious and modern, offering views of Illinois State University. The location is centrally located near ISU, with access to various restaurants within walking distance. We did not take advantage of the pool area, but it was open to the public during our stay. We feel that after renovations, the hotel will be even better than it is now. Please be aware that during this time, the walking bridge to the parking lot is not accessible. However, you can access the next-door parking lot from the 1st floor without any issues. One of the areas that would benefit from this renovation is the lounge on the 9th floor, which is included in their plans. When I walked in, it reminded me of the Marriott brand hotels of many years ago, particularly in terms of the furniture and colors. Regardless of this fact, the lounge attendee in the morning for breakfast was always a delight. He was always friendly, attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect in the lounge for breakfast. This is the way a lounge should be run. Overall, I would recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in May. I hope to see what has been done and how the hotel looks after renovations are mostly or finally completed.
