It was ok. The breakfast was above average. I really enjoyed the shower. However, the water pooled in the shower floor.

There was a smell of chlorine right when you walked into the door. The hotel room itself was fine and the bathroom was ok. There was a loud commotion of police officers in the hallway banging on the door at 1 am. The continental breakfast did not seem appetizing at all either.

Beautiful hotel, but rooms were heavily worn. We've stayed 3 times on our road trips. All bisits were good. However, this last time, our a/c didnt work very well and the room we were in was very heavily worn for the cost of the stay.

This was a very high end hotel called Jumers in the late 80's early 90's and it has not been updated much since then. Bed was a little uncomfortable, but I liked the walk in showers. Complimentary breakfast was good. Eventhough the hotel was very dated and confusing to navigate I was happy with my stay and would have no problem returning. Price was affordable.
5.0
The room was excellent, Bed was super comfortable the only thing I could complain about is that there was not enough tables for Breakfast.

I didn't get the room location we requested. The back parking lot needed cleaned and repaired. The interior definitely needs updating...including the springy beds.

Police were called 3 squad cars in the parking lot, I asked a person cleaning a room with his cart at the door if I could get a towel and he said he didnt have one, did I mention he had a cart, that was full? The complimentary breakfast was a joke, scrambled eggs were in a pile of water, kids were running around screaming. We stayed 2 nights. Checked out on Monday, asked for a later check out, was denied told me check in was at 3pm, and not one person cleaning a room anywhere to be seen.

First room was dirty but front desk attendant fixed that quickly and was kind and understanding through the experience. Second room smelled musty but it was on the first floor which is actually the basement so understandable in my opinion. Sprayed some of my kids bodyspray and it was a simple fix. Breakfast was passable but ended early (@ 9am on a Monday).

Room was dated, repairs needed.

The first room was filthy dirty with stains all over the bedding and sheets. They moved us to another room, however, we had no air circulation and it was musty. We left in the morning and did not stay the second night.

The room was quite nice: spacious, lots of light thanks to overhead light, floor lamps, and desk lamps--nice to have the variety and flexibility. A decent amount of outlets (I did unplug the desk light as the outlet was used by that and the fridge). Good shower. Everything very clean. The breakfast was pretty good. The only downside was that on floor one at least the walls were paper thin. I literally could have transcribed the neighbor's conversation word for word and they were just conversing, not yelling at each other. Luckily it wasn't a particularly revealing conversation. Good price, good location with lots around

This place was so cool. We were in town for a concert and wish we had got to stay longer!

Very nice hotel. Easy check in. Comfortable room. Nice area with lots of shopping and restaurants around.

Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner unit was a little on the loud side. Not sure if it needed attention. The breakfast was great with a balance of protein and carbs. The room was a good value overall and would stay there again.
5.0
Stayed here with my kids while having work done at my house. It was a fun little getaway to be able to swim with the kids and just have fun together at the hotel. Highly recommend it.
3.0
The hotel had cool retro features, but it was in need of updates and cleaning. The smell made me nauseous. One elevator was broken with the only other one a great distance away for anyone with impaired mobility.
1.0
I expected enough water to take a shower, the tv to get Wi-Fi connection, the lights to stay on and the in-room phone to be able to work to speak with the front desk. My expectations were much too high. The carpet was old and had large folds in the middle of the room. It was obvious that the hotel has not been properly maintained and everything was very dated. Not worth the money!

The hotel was very out dated, construction in various parts of the property.

I loved the theme of the hotel. The breakfast was wxcellent also. The room was clean and comfy. I will be staying again.

Wow, it would be an upgrade to consider this property a dump. It reeks of chlorine from the pool, and there is frayed furniture in the common areas. Our beds had throw sized pillows instead of bed pillows. The furniture is old and worn, and the one chair was half broken. The lights and the outlets by the nightstand were
non-functioning. The bathroom walls were dirty, along with the walls around every light switch, and the carpet desperately needs replacing. The free breakfast was beyond subpar. What a ripoff.
5.0
It was a very nice hotel to stay at after a long drive and staff are so friendly.

Looks like a beautiful building on the outside, but everything is pretty dated and seemed run down. Looks like it is in need of a lot of maintenance, probably an overall renovation. Decor and finishes were privably nice in the 80's
To mention the positive first:
- I slept great! The pillows and bed were not perfect, but I slept pretty solidly so that's a plus!
- Bathroom was nicely renovated, room was be clean enough.
-Accomodated an early check in....for a fee. Seemed unnecessary, especially since the room was already available. (I have NEVER been charged for early check ins at other hotels).
- Great location, right in the heart of shopping central, safe area. Just where we would want to be positioned
Onto the constructive...
-Room looked clean, but there was a strong air freshener smell throughout.
-More maintenance is staff needed...by morning, trash cans by the elevators were literally overflowing into the floor, and there was uncollected trash outside of peoples individual rooms.
-Numerous areas of apparent water leaks on the ceilings of the halls.
-Access panels had been removed for repairs at some point and put back with black handprints on them, just contributed to the overall feel of lacking maintenence.
- We didnt use the pool, but checked it out. Perhaps improved ventilation is needed? Smelled overwhelmingly strong of chlorine.
-There was some plastic tarp hanging from the celiling, not sure what was going on with that.
Overall a disappointing stay.

Very clean room. Polite and helpful staff. Decent hotel breakfast.
The problem is that the room had pull down shades. The shades are thick enough, but light leaks on either side of the shade, so the room is still not completely dark. If it were not for this fact, I would give 5/5 stars

Jordan was organized and very helpful at reception. The building is beautiful, breakfast an amazing hot buffet, and the hotel is full of antique furniture. A wonderful mixture of good taste and up to date amenities.

Enthusiastic and fast welcome, exactly what I had reserved, an old-fashioned but quality environment. There may be a lack of soundproofing. Varied and good breakfast. An excellent stay

We were SO glad we chose the Chateau. From front desk check in till check out the next day, this is truly one of the most awesome spots to stay. Very clean; floor was quiet; room was large, high ceilings, awesome chandelier in the room; internet/tv was perfect; the bathroom was large and the free breakfast was awesome, home cooked cheesy eggs, sausage, and lots more; PLUS guests were given tables with tablecloths; it was very nice! The prices for rooms were VERY reasonable, I've already shared with friends and if we get back to Bloomington again there is no way we'd stay anywhere else! PLUS the building is breathtaking in decor; the hotel also hosts weddings, events and more...I can see why!!

The Chateau was a fine place for my adult daughter and me to stay for two nights on our eclipse trip. The breakfast buffet was kept well stocked and had good variety. Styrofoam plates and no place to put recyclables — not so good. Also not good: the first room we were given was already occupied. When we finally got a room with key cards that worked, we discovered that there were no bath towels supplied. So, mixed in some respects but overall the Chateau met our needs.

We had a bit of a wait to check in. Front desk staff was apparently away getting laundry!! Hotel pool area was a bit drab but hot tub was good!!

This place was cheap price wise, breakfast doesnt start till 7am, hotel needs renovations! But it seemed clean.

We booked at the last minute a room that said slept four. It had a king bed and a very small futon that could sleep no one. They brought up a cot. The biggest problem is we had no hot, not even warm water!

Castle like hotel. Rooms are small but functional. There was no hair conditioner and 1 wastebasket in the room. No toilet paper holder either. Wall are very thin. We could hear everything. Staff was extremely pleasant.
4.0
The pool was too cold and they were draining the hottub in the morning; I wish that could’ve been done the night before so we could have enjoyed it Sunday morning. The staff was helpful, hotel was clean, and the breakfast was decent, with fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy, and waffles. Overall, we would stay again, it felt safe and clean.
4.0
The hotel is very cute and clean. I will definitely stay again.

A lovely old-style property, but it's a little worn. The bed was okay but a little saggy, the desk chair upholstery was worn. The bathroom, though clean, was dated. One thing that surprised me was how small the room was. It was a decent, clean hotel and the lobby is lovely if you like traditional European style. Staff was great, and everything worked fine.
