IU Biddle Hotel

8/10 Good

"On-campus and great hotel."

SkyGazers Delight. One of the Safest areas in Bloomington. Super easy access!!

10/10 Excellent

"The property is 5 miles from the IU campus and a 15-minute drive with graduation traffic. It's situated in a country setting and perfect for 6 people (7 if using the couch). The host was awesome, offering to pick up anything we wanted on-site when we arrived. The house was very clean and had extra pillows/blankets if needed. We had an absolutely wonderful time and couldn't recommend it more for families/groups during peak times when you're OK not being in the center of the college. Perfect for Mom's, Dad's, and Parents' weekends."

Bloomington Cabin, Mins to Campus/lake Monroe

10/10 Excellent

"We had our two dogs with us, and they loved the place. It is just beautiful! The owners were on-site; but this apartment is above their garage, and we didn't cross paths at all. Recommendation: Don't bring a lot of things to carry. The owners did state up-front that there are a lot of stairs. There are pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, utensils, serving pieces, and flatware. The floors are hardwood and tile in the bathroom. There are two closets, a chest of drawers, and a dresser in the bedroom. Lots of storage in the kitchen and bathroom. Towels and bath rugs are provided. There is a huge refrigerator and stove, dishwasher, and microwave, and an island with bar stools and a bar sink. The fireplace is electric. The entire place is farmhouse/industrial as far as decorations and fixtures. There are two TV's, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom. The entire apartment has wooden clapboard walls, pitched ceilings, and window curtains. Just gorgeous! "
