Grant Street Inn - Bloomington
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want the best-rated stay among the 10 Bloomington hotels we compared and a quiet base within walking distance of the town centre and campus, according to guests. Skip it if spotless housekeeping is your top priority, because a minority of reviews mention dirty sheets, carpets and cobwebs.

This is our Luxury pick for Bloomington. It is a 4-star property with an official rating, a guest score of 9.3 out of 10 and 346 reviews behind that number.
It suits couples and solo travellers who care about breakfast and a calm street more than a long list of facilities. Visiting parents and anyone with business near the university should also look closely, since guests describe the location as walkable to campus.
Who should skip it? Travellers who want a big full-service hotel with a pool or spa. Neither is listed here. And if a single stray cobweb would spoil your trip, read the cleanliness notes below before you commit.
Location and getting around
The address is 310 North Grant Street. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10, the highest single figure in this hotel's data. Reviewers say it is walkable to the town centre and to the university campus while staying quiet at night.
We do not have verified walking times to specific sights for this hotel, so treat any distance you see elsewhere with care. Open a map with the address before booking and check the route to wherever you actually need to be.
What guests say
Breakfast is the clear favourite. Guests talk about homemade food, with pastries, warm pie and fresh cookies coming up again and again. The listed breakfast styles are continental, American, buffet and breakfast to go.
The second strong theme is the location. People like being able to walk into town and to campus, then come back to a quiet street.
The main complaint is cleanliness. Most guests find the place generally tidy, but some report dirty sheets, dirty carpets and cobwebs. If it matters to you, ask about housekeeping when you book.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at €139.83 per night, about €280 for the two nights. That is above the sample median of €129.36 per night. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham Bloomington, came in at €101.33 per night with a score of 8.8. Our Best Value pick, Home2 Suites by Hilton Bloomington, was €134.55 per night with a score of 9.2. Both are 3-star properties.
So the gap to the Best Value option is small, around €5 a night at the reference dates. For that you get a 4-star rating, a slightly higher score and the breakfast guests praise.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible properties in Bloomington. Grant Street Inn shared first place on guest score among them. Our Luxury category prioritises 5-star hotels, and a 4-star hotel only qualifies if it scores at least 8.5. At 9.3 it clears that bar with room to spare.
Listed facilities include a gym, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Opening times and any fees for these are not confirmed, so check them for your dates.
Before you book
Several things have not been assessed: room size, noise, renovation condition, whether breakfast is included in your rate, and cancellation terms. Read the rate details carefully, especially the breakfast line, since breakfast is the reason many people choose this place.
Check the current price for your own dates, confirm parking, and look at recent reviews for any update on housekeeping.
