A Summerhouse Inn - Bloomington

The hotel had some basics like Internet, cable, coffeemaker, but lacked others like refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was okay, not great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms could use curtains, as some strong security lights shone right through the blinds.

very old and dirty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel is clean, albeit run down. The staff, when it's there, is friendly and helpful. However, if anything happens at night, you're on your own: there is no one at the reception and there are no telephones in the rooms.

Hotel staff was very friendly. Second time staying here and will stay again.

I enjoyed it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

People who work there are nice but what was probably once a nice place has fallen into disrepair. The room had an overpowering smell of disinfectant and/or bug spray. The mattress was way past saggy. Very old and outdated. The toilet/shower room didn't even have a working light and you could see daylight along the edge of the outside door.

Very friendly staff, easy to find, convenient to IU ad shopping. Would stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel/motel is much less convenient to IU than comparably priced options from which you can walk to campus. However, it is much much cleaner and feels much safer. And they have a breakfast that is comparable to Comfort Inn. Despite the distance I would definitely stay again. At Motel 6 and the places next to Motel 6 I always had to take my own sheets […] and I still worried about what I might bring home, but it was very convenient and cheap. This was MUCH better!

A Summerhouse Inn is locally owned and staffed by friendly people. But it is pretty bare-bones: No phone in the room. No wi-fi in the room. Meager continental breakfast. But the service was prompt and the room, while shabby (with falling-apart chairs and dressers) was clean, the TV worked, and the bed was firm enough. And it was by far the cheapest […] acceptable motel available during the 2012 Hilly Hundred Weekend. Read more

Older building - could you some paint both outside and inside nice HOT water

This is our go-to hotel for the Lotus World Music Festival in September.

Genuine Expedia guest review

For a lower budget hotel, I found A Summerhouse Inn to be a good value. Yes, it has aged over the years and the rooms are vintage 1960's, but the staff is friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend this for anyone looking to save money and who doesn't require a lot of amenities in a hotel room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Just two of us stayed here. The beds were small. but ok for one person probably standard double bed., confortable enough. Looks like the owners haven't put any money in this place, in its day- was probably really nice.

Old outdated decor. Not worth the cost.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Even though it was a no smoking room I could still smell old smoke. Everything in the room was old. The customer service was good.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Upon arrival I could tell it was going to be an adventure. The lobby had a stale moth ball smell, with outdated furniture. I tried to let this go, since the hotel staff was pleasant and friendly. So I took the key and went to my room. When I opened the door it continued to go down hill. The decor is ancient, carpet was filthy- funky smelling and old. […] This applied to the bed spreads as well. The bathroom was the worst- rotted out tile, mold and mildew-DISGUSTING is the best way to put it. As a result I ended up leaving immediately and driving back home 3 hours away, rather than stay in the dirty establishment. Read more

Will not stay there again! Bedding very old & flimsy. Formica chipped- room very old & not updated. Couldn't open door all the way due to carpet. But great location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very fair priced and convenient to campus. The carpeting was frightfully old and probably not produced since the 60's. The rooms and furnishings were not just outdated, but felt unclean and uncomfortable. Great location but in desperate need of a serious makeover!!

All the name hotels were occupied when I took my daughter down to IU, so this was it. Okay, early seventies decor, a swimming pool, gas grill, corn hole game (yes) and picnic tables were the amenities. Plain, but clean and when I had an A.C. problem it was fixed in under half an hour. At $40 less than the Hampton Inn, I guess the value was about ri […] ght Read more

hotel was shabby but pretty clean overall. Lobby area was easy to sit in and clean. Our room was very quiet so it was easy to sleep there. Location was good because it was close to campus but not so close that it was booked and noisy. For the price, I think it was just fine.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The place could really use an upgrade..... It's an OK place if you don't expect too much. This is a bare bones basic lodging. It is old and in need of repair. However, the bed was clean and comfortable and the room was kept neat. The staff was friendly and helpful. Cracks in the walls and an old look to the room. Not even a new TV... but it worked. I […] do wonder how they get the rates, but then there are only so many hotels in Bloomington and when school gets started, the parents need a place to stay. Read more

Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere in the hotel Pretty surroundings Rooms are a little old and the bathrooms could a a bit cleaner. But overall a very good experience

Lobby looked new and was pleasing and clean, room was clean.

The Pictures seem to tell a diffrent story. It appears to be grand but is old and in need of some remodeling. The Breakfast was slim at best with very little to offer.

Genuine Expedia guest review

good economical stay with a pool. Breakfast was a little weak though.

As a quick stop-over this place was fine, but seemed a little expensive for what it was. People were very nice.

First room was unacceptable; not clean and away from any chance of wifi. We were moved after the first night to a much nicer room that had sketchy wifi at best. There is wifi in the office area but that is closed at night. Staff very nice and helpful, but the office closes at 9:00 and woe is you if you forget your key. Pool is very clean and open 24 […] hours. There is a free washer and dryer, which is a nice touch. Would stay there again if they get the wifi up and running. Read more

room was just OK for one or two night stay. Breakfast was a JOKE!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Always hate going somewhere new and booking on line when you don't know the property. Pleasantly surprised with A Summerhouse Inn. Easy to find from the highway, staff was extremely nice, rooms were clean and smelled that way too. Grounds were beautiful. Loved the pool and the fire pit. Spent every night with family and friends by the firepit. Very […] homey. Would recommend and plan to stay again. Read more

The hotel was located within 3 miles of Indiana University and near any type of restaurants or gas stations if needed. I would stay at the Summerhouse Inn again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The place isn't a bad place to stay. It's cute on the outside and the inside is reasonably comfortable. My only beef with the place was there check-in system. We checked in at about 1:30am, which I know is late but I was surprised that there was no one at the front desk. Apparently after a certain time, there is no one on site again until morning, which […] I was a little worried about. And they had the weirdest check in system. You have to call this guys number, he gives you an access code to open up this lock box that has all these envelopes in them, one of which is yours and has a room key. So we finally figured that out only to find out the keys didn't work on the door. So we had to trek back to the office and start the whole process over again. It was frustrating, especially when your tired and cold and ready to sleep! I had never heard of that check in system before and I wish there was more explanation! The guy on the phone was talking to me like I knew what he was talking about and was aggravated at my confusion!! But other then that, the place wasn't bad! Read more

I don't think this motel should be a 2 star motel. Our room was not up to expectations of a 2 star. For instance: The venetian shade wouldn't completely close thus causing a lack of privacy; there was a wet washrag from a previous tenant hanging over the shower bar. There was only one accessible plug where we could plug things in such as computer, clock, […] breathing machine, etc. and it was about 10 feet away from the bed. There was one extremely thin blanket on the bed - thus making sleeping a bit uncomfortable. In short, the place wasn't awful --- and the price was reasonable --- but I expect better for 2 stars.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times while visiting our son at IU. Decent room, fairly clean, reminds me of the hotels while vacationing as a kid in the 60's. Breakfast is pretty minimal. Good choice if you just need a room for an event...except for commencement weekend...price is 3 times as much!

Decent room nothing extravagant

Though the location of the Summerhouse Inn wasn't great for us this visit, when we were constantly traveling back to the west side, I would stay here again when I visit Lake Monroe. Many nice ammenities for families, including a sandbox, pool, fire pit, and large lawn. The room decor was dated, but quite clean. It can get noisy in the morning as in […] most hotels whose doors open to the outside. In the future I would try to stay on the second floor and away from stairwells. Read more

Do you want a Hotel that is quiet and close to everything near City of Bloomington without paying an arm and leg then this is the place you need to stay. The bed and room was comfortable and clean. You can tell it an older hotel and if you wanted, you could pick it apart where it needs a little paint, sidewalk is cracked and the bathroom was a little […] outdated but overall for the price the room was sufficient.

For the price this hotel provided what was needed; a bed to sleep in. I would not recommend for cleanliness or relaxing but for convenience and economics it worked.

Had to look at 4 rooms to get one clean enough to stay in. First room had what we believed were contruction materials in the tub. Would have transferred to another hotel if there was availability in the area. Was not a 3 star property as represented.

Had to make 2 trips back to the office because the keys wouldn't open the door. we were given a different room. We have stayed here before. It's nicer than the Days Inn and Motel 6 in Bloomington but not great.

I was lucky to find any hotel on a homecoming weekend, so I had very low expectations. This place was better than expected. A little far from the IU campus, but convenient for shopping and eating.
