Eastland Suites Hotel

You'd be better off sleeping in your car. Torturous overnight stay in this oven of a room. No fans. AC won't kick on. Horribly uncomfortable.

If it was an option I would give 3.5 stars. only going with 4 stars instead of 3 because of good staff. Pros: staff was pleasant, breakfast was well presented, onsite bar with free drink daily, the one bedroom suite is a decent size, plenty of parking and everything is nearby. Cons: if you're not on the top floor you will lose your mind with inconsiderate people above you, especially in the studio suites.

We were initially in a studio, and asked to move to a one bedroom because it was too small. The worst part is there were 7 people in the studio room above us being ridiculously loud, and staff allowed it even though the max people allowed per room was clearly surpassed. Once we moved to the one bedroom suite it was better, but sometimes loud people would move in and it was stressful to have loud noises in the middle of the night. Additionally, the room keys would stop working every 2-3 days ( we stayed here for 3-4 weeks ) so we constantly had to go to the front desk to get the keys fixed.

A weekend trip to Bloomington, IL, to visit family. I chose Eastland Suites because it is an independent hotel and I prefer to keep my business local when possible. We had a wonderful stay from check-in to check-out everything ran smoothly. We were upgraded to a king deluxe suite, which was clean and perfect for our needs. Upon entering we had a large living room with kitchen, a large bathroom which was separated from the bathtub and toilet, and very large bedroom.

We even had a balcony which we enjoy sitting out on with a glass of wine. Also, each room comes with its own wi-fi router. What a great idea and much appreciated. The grounds are lovely with different courtyards. We also enjoyed the evening Happy Hour and breakfast. All in all, a great experience and we will definitely stay here again.

THIS is a conference center? Pretty small. Went to an event last week with 150 people in attendance. No masks, no sneeze guard over the food on the buffet. Have these people HEARD? Who has a buffet for that many people and just decides to skip the sneeze guard? We were horrified. Called to complain- You better believe little miss jolene didn't give a shit.

I stayed here on my way out west with my pup. Check-in was incredibly easy. I normally don't like hotels with the external room entrances, but it actually made it way easier to take my dog outside. The rooms were very clean and they were taking COVID seriously. There is a Starbucks walking distance away and a nice courtyard area where you can enjoy your morning coffee.

Had a great stay Hope those walls werent as thin as i think they were Ya know, for the neighbors sake 5 stars

No pool folks. They've filled it in. And the "bar", well. Lmfao. We stayed the night before we flew out (early flight). Should have slept in the car. Save your money. Move on

Clean, comfortable, dog friendly, suites, and military discount. Decent in-house breakfast each morning. Courtyard gas grills and fire pit. Complimentary cocktails, WiFi, shuttle service. Conveniently located on Bloomington's east side. State Farm corporate offices, multiple restaurants and the airport are close by. Easy access to ISU and IWU. Will stay here on next visits to the area.

Not suited for business travelers needing extended stay, overpriced for the area. Caters to weddings/partys that are up all hours of the night. Breakfast wasn't ready at 6 and they were out of drinks in the afternoon, there's a grocery store within walking distance management could get soda. SMH.

I love coming to this place. I've stayed here several times. Never had a bad experience. The only thing they could improve on is on some of the areas parking. The tubs in the bathroom are a little slick so be careful. The rooms are always clean. I like how they have a full kitchen living room areas and the beds are so comfortable. More comfortable than my own.

The balconies are a nice addition too. I've stayed in the king suites the one bedroom suites and 2 bedroom king lofts. They are all nice but my favorite it is 2 bedroom king lofts. So nice and spacious with 2 king beds and 2 full bathrooms. I have never got up in enough time to try their breakfast buffet so I cannot comment on that. However they do have a happy hour from 5 to 7 pm on most nights.

They used to give 2 drinks per person with a wide variety of drinks to choose from. Then it went to only wine or beer. To now only one free drink with no bar you collect at the check in counter. So that part is a little disappointing. The workers are still are very nice and helpful. I would still recommend this place highly if needing a place to stay in Bloomington IL. It's also in a good location lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.

My wife & I stayed here for an anniversary. We loved this property! After a rather lousy start to our day (and thinking that we'd never make it there), Jay at the Front Desk was courteous and friendly. We were given 5-star service and truly found this hotel well worth the over three-hour drive. We've decided that after 10 years of different hotel stays; Eastland Suites is definitely rated our fourth favorite hotel! (that list includes our honeymoon hotel in Las Vegas as a clear #1, of course) The other staff members were extremely accommodating, too.

We were obviously tired, stressed and have mobility issues, but wanted to take advantage of the Happy Hour drink coupons given to us, however, given my mobility issues, we were unable to walk up the stairs in the main building. They not only hand-delivered my cane to our suite, but then walked over our beverages as well (with snacks, too)! Like I stated before; 5-star service. We will return.

I stayed here overnight this week and found most things satisfactory. The only thing I would suggest to management is to fix the tubs. They're extremely slippery and a lawsuit is waiting to happen.

We absolutely LOVED this place! It is beautiful with exceptionally nice rooms, great service and wonderful staff! We loved the "cocktail hour" as well as the yummy breakfast.all included! Couldn't be happier! The only regret was that we could only stay one night. I wish we could have stayed longer! Definitely recommend!

There's something magical about this hotel! We spent last night there and when we arrived around 5:15 Pm, the super nice painting crew (working in 93, feels like 106 degree weather) politely apologized for blocking off the front entrance and directed us to the alternate entry. The front desk was staffed by three service oriented staff who quickly checked us in while we heard the awesome happy hour bartender Jonathan, mixing cocktails and running a raucous trivia game.

Everyone there was having fun! It's infectious. You almost feel like you're on a mini land cruise. Cocktail hour is from 5-7 pm and each guest is eligible for 2 free drinks and Jonathan's entertainment, which he tailors to the crowd vibe. He made our 13 year old a fun Sprite with grenadine mocktail, which she enjoyed. We told him we were thinking about going to Anju Above for dinner.

He later told us to check for something from him at the front desk. A generous gift certificate for Anju Above! This hotel stay just keeps getting better! Did someone say Christmas in July or is my fairy godmother residing at Eastland Suites? We thanked him and he said he thought we were a neat family. There was a group of seniors leaving happy hour, laughing and joking about feeling a bit tipsy and needing a ride to dinner. Boom- Eastland shuttle comes to the rescue.

We enjoyed looking at the beautiful old homes on our way to Anju Above, which was hipster cool and had delicious food. Maybe it's a Bloomington thing but the staff there were also very welcoming and seemed passionate about the business. Check it out! I got up early and started the day right by working out in the small but adequate gym. The free breakfast bar had something for everyone and the ladies maintaining it kindly wished us a good day when we left- very sweet!

Every staff member we encountered appeared to be happy, customer service oriented, and welcoming. Eastland, you are doing something right! Please expand your hotel empire! Even though the hotel is in the middle of a generic strip mall locale, the grounds are lovely. You feel like you're in a pretty condo resort. There's a beautiful outdoor patio outside the breakfast bar, with grill area.

Our one bedroom suite was clean and spacious. If I have one piece of constructive criticism (which I hesitate to document because I really dig this place) it's that the building 9 hallway could be updated. It's got that old building scent in spite of being clean but once you get to your room, it's your home away from home. Our teen daughters hung out on our bed before we went to sleep, laughing and telling stories. Thank you Eastland for creating the perfect venue to make memories!

Great accommodations; hot complimentary breakfast, happy hour 6 days a week in the evening, swimming pool (well kept), the building lay out isn't like standard cookie cutter chains, our king suite had a balcony overlooking an area full of birds. It was nice to sit out in the morning and drink coffee while watching/listening to them.

Great hotel. We're staying here for a conference and the amenities are great. The rooms are spacious and all seem to have full kitchens. The room I'm staying in has a fireplace as well. The ambiance is awesome. There is a hot breakfast buffet every morning and complimentary cocktails from 5-7 every evening. It's located next to some great restaurants which you can walk to. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

Stayed here 3days 2nights and our stay was ok. The room has a small kitchen and a pull out couch that is not the most comfortable. The bed was not bad but the pillows was my only complaint. The pool is very small and is in the front of the place so you will have to walk or drive outside to get to it. When comes time for breakfast they O.J. machine was broken and the timer on the waffle maker as well. The have a small bar upstair and a gym but was not able to check it out.

My visit here was for a company seminar. The room was very beautiful and spacious even though I didn't get to stay in it for too long since our seminar was 2 days long. Good internet and direct tv. The breakfast was cramped, no room to really sit. It was also in the "lobby" which is in an entirely different building from where I was staying. It's about two blocks away and sadly it's winter so it was cold to walk.

It was also where the pool was, I didn't get to swim since I was too tired. Also I wasn't informed that if I kept my key card near my phone (which I have a wallet phone case) it demagnetizes the key card. The first night of staying it stopped working and I couldn't get into my room. Thankfully my boyfriend had his to get us in at 9:30pm.

I called the front desk and they said I could get it switched. The second night it happened again! But this time my boyfriend wasn't around and I had to walk to the lobby two blocks away at 9:15pm to get it switched. This was when they told me about it getting magnetized. Overall a decent experience. But it's definitely not my first choice.

I want another star- because 5 isn't enough. Every person who we have had the pleasure to interact with was 100% professional and went above and beyond what could possibly be expected of them. Our group had 9 rooms and everyone of us LOVED the place. Spacious accommodations, great location, wonderf pool, well stocked - FRESH fruits at breakfast bar. Afternoon cocktails. These pros treated us like family

Staying here for a college visit. paid $84 per night incl tax. Feels like a 5 star hotel. Beautiful furnishings! Comfy, soft and gorgeous linens. 2 free drinks during 5-7pm. Great friendly service. I would highly highly recommend this terrific place.

I would have given this place five stars had they not initially given us a room key to a room that was already occupied! WHOOPS. Luckily the poor chap wasn't there at that moment, but when we walked in and saw toiletries out and an open suitcase in the room, we slowly backed out (with our confused dog) and went back down to the front to get a room that was vacant and had already been turned.

When we actually DID get a room all to ourselves, we were thrilled! It had a great set up, which has been hard to find with other extended stays we've tried, and a wonderful kitchen area. There was just enough stuff to cook and eat a decent meal. The grounds are pretty nice and green too. The bed wasn't extremely comfortable, but other than that and their faux paux at the beginning, this is a place I'd stay at again.

I just finished a four (4) day stay at this privately owned extended stay hotel. I have quite a few good things to say but also some not so good. So let's have a little fun and alternate the good with the bad. Good- The staff was uniformly amazing. Every person that "touched" me was friendly and competent. I was staying with a big group and numerous people said the same thing. Bad- This place has a Conference Center and the food served (buffet breakfast or lunch & break snacks) was mostly substandard.

If you have been to meetings in other places, you will be disappointed. Good- My room was spotless and kept that way throughout my stay. I love clean and these folks did a great job. Bad- This hotel has no restaurant and no bar. In addition the area around it is mostly low end chain restaurants. Stuff like Applebee's and Olive Garden. If you are there for an extended stay and don't have a car you may shoot yourself!

In fairness they do have a shuttle that will take you to more distant restaurants. However most experienced travelers know that this is many times a pain in the a**. Good- Very nice small pool. Bad- Meeting rooms are very very basic. I get the feeling that if you wanted to do more than PowerPoint it might be a problem. Good- This is one of those hotels that is many separate buildings on a nicely landscaped property. For my three nights my room was wonderfully quiet. These folks are a lower cost extended stay hotel. This was a three star experience for me.

We drove to Bloomington, Illinois for a Rickie Lee Jones concert. Could anything be bad about a trip like that? Eastland Suites gave me nothing to complain about. There was more than enough room in the loft suite for the two couples. We weren't there long enough to use the kitchen or even watch TV, but the beds were comfortable and all shower necessities were provided.

The grounds are well kept, though we looked out on the parking lot. That's just the luck of the draw. Breakfast was very typical for a hotel that provides a "hot" breakfast. They provided cheese omelets (think McOmelete) and sausage. The rest of the breakfast was just what one would expect - a waffle making machine, cereal, coffee, juice, small bagels, english muffins, toaster. you get the picture. If we ever had a need to stay in Bloomington, Il again for a night we would definitely stay here again.
