The Cascades Inn is a great budget option for lodging in Bloomington. Great location just north of campus, friendly and helpful staff, and on-site bar and grill. Don't let the outside fool you, this old hotel is a diamond in the rough. The rooms are very clean with nice linens and a very comfortable bed. The courtyard area is great with grills and tables / chairs for hanging out. We even grabbed a nightcap in Sleepers Bar before heading to bed. Couldn't recommend more.
This is a nice hotel for anyone looking for a quick place to rest, with considerate and kind staff. I was arriving quite late (after midnight), and the receptionist called me to ask when I would be arriving. When I mentioned my eta, they said they may not be there when I arrive, but would put my room key in a lock-box and send me the access information.
I ended up arriving at the hotel while the person was still there and they were able to check me into my room right away. The receptionist was so kind
This is an old dilapidated building, no amount of renovations can lift it up! the place needs to be torn down and started out fresh.
The front desk was friendly and very helpful, rooms smelt dingy, dusty, heat took ages to turn on. Overall substandard hotel, i wouldnt recommend to anyone who appreciates quality.
Clean place. Friendly staff. Comfortable. Good value, inexpensive.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Breakfast was poorly provided. There was milk and juice- if you wanted anything else it was not provided. Kroger's is around the corner- they could do a better job at providing the bare minimum.
