Pros. I loved the price of the hotel and the fact it was not too far from IU. I did not expect a bunch of frills and fanciness and we got what I expected. Comfortable bed, clean room and nice shower! Keep up the great job!

Pros. Although you may initially liken the exterior of the Economy Inn to that of the Bates Motel, do not be fooled, this place has a clean, quite interior. I stayed here with a few friends when we visited Bloomington for a basketball game and was pleasantly surprised. The room was quite clean and although the bed was nowhere near as comfortable as my own, I was able to fall asleep quickly after having some delicious Avers pizza delivered. We will surely visit this little gem again!

Cons. The one complaint I have is in regards to the location, it is a little further south than I would have liked but it's nothing a short car ride can't handle!
