Hilton Garden Inn Bloomington

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay. Close to everything."

Bloomington hideaway, 10 min from downtown, catch some fish in private pond.

10/10 Excellent

"Our second stay at this property, while attending events with our IU student. Location provides close access to Bloomington area, while also enjoying the private, more secluded space with a perfect upper deck to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine! Apartment has everything we needed, property is clean & communication from our host, Bill, was excellent. You do have to enter through a standard garage, but don't let that worry you! Apartment is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the many activities in Bloomington!"

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for an IU football game weekend. The location worked well for spending time on campus and at the stadium. The house was very comfortable and went beyond our needs. The only somewhat irritating thing had nothing to do with the host … but, we won’t miss the barking dog or the screeching child next door."
