Top Children's Discovery Museum Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Bloomington/Normal

8/10 Good

"The pool are is being remodeled. It does not look like it will be finished any time soon. The rest of the hotel is very nice and the breakfast is great. Parking in the garage across the street is included as part of your stay, which is a nice perk to staying at this hotel."

Clarion Pointe Bloomington – Normal near I-55 and University

8/10 Good

"It’s a good place to stay at to sleep comfortably. The shower needs to be updated. Had little nats coming from the drain. Pool is clean but water is very cold. Front desk lady very nice and caring. Need a few more items in the continental breakfast. Need either bagels, or other options of bread."

Hampton Inn & Suites Bloomington - Normal

8/10 Good

"We were in town for family weekend at ISU so the location was perfect. Great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. Was disappointed our TV did not work and got no answer at the desk when we tried to call for service. The shower needed new caulking and not the greatest showerhead. The toilet was super low to the floor. Perhaps a handicapped room would have a taller one? Bed was comfortable. Would stay again despite the few issues we experienced."

Best Western Plus Bloomington East Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to shopping ,safe parking, rooms clean and comfortable"
