Eastland Suites Hotel & Conference Center Bloomington-Normal IL Review

I stayed in a king suite. The bedroom was a separate room from the rest of the apartment, I mean, hotel room. In the bedroom was the king-sized bed with about 7 pillows, a full-sized mirror, safe, flat-screen tv, dresser, floor lamp, two end tables, two table lamps, and a digital clock. There was a kitchenette with a full-size fridge, utensils, dishwasher, sink, pots and pans, small circular table that 2 people would eat at. In the living room area there was a sleeper sofa, coffee table, fireplace, desk, and flat-screened tv. If you wanted a bottle of water, it was $3, but there was free water in the lobby. The bathroom had the usual toilet and shower/tub combo. The room was in a separate building from the lobby which had the pool, workout room, breakfast area, and happy hour area. It was warm out so the short walk was fine. The pool was an okay size for swimming laps. It was shaped like a bowl but since I was the only one in the pool, it was no bother. The workout room consisted of 1 treadmill, 1 bike, free weights, exercise ball, and a flat screen tv. When I went to workout, I had the room to myself, so it was fine. In the morning was the hot breakfast. No one complained about the breakfast. For Happy Hour, there was music playing and outdoor seating. The first drink was free with the coupon given at check-in.

I adore coming here. Been here for weddings and birthday parties, never dissapointed. The staff is super helpful too, my phone died and I couldn't use my gps so they drew me a nice map to help me find my friends birthday party. Im very thankful for the two young gentlemen who helped me that night. Thank you a ton!

Clean, nice rooks, good staff. Nice social hour and food.

We attended a Christmas party at the conference center. The food was decent and the center was good, though a little cool.

Well maintained facilities, warm and welcoming staff, special dietary needs were very well provided for. Love staying here especially in the king suites.

The best place to stay if you are near Bloomington. Excellent staff, they are attentive and helpful.

Comfy beds but overpriced for the location and service

Older but clean. Good location and a Continental breakfast.

Friendly staff, clean room, excellent amenities. I enjoyed the fire place in my room. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but overall I enjoyed my stay.

From check-in to check-out it was a pleasant and positive experience. Everybody was very friendly and made you feel welcome. I loved the courtyard, so well maintained, a perfect place to gather.

We stayed here as party of a wedding block. The room was nice and the free breakfast had a good selection and pretty similar to other hotels. I did like that the soaps and lotions were Bath and Body Works products. My only negative was the layout of the hotel. It's made up if separate buildings almost like an apartment complex. If it was raining out, then going to breakfast at the main building would've been a pain. A positive is that they worked with the bride and groom and set up shuttle service to the wedding/reception location so no one had to drink and drive. Otherwise it was a nice place for the night.

Amazing Staff! Great Amenities!! Very Nice Clean Suite and Hotel!! Housekeeping Staff came in and Cleaned the room and even threw our dishes in dishwasher and started them Wow! Can't say enough good about this hotel well definitely stay again.

Love this place and everyone that works there thumbs up for a pleasant extended stay

The hotel called me the night before my reservation to tell me that my room was no longer available. I made the reservation 5 months in advance. They offered a discounted rate on another room which wasn't really a discount because it was the same price if I had reserved it instead of reserving the room that I actually did. They waited until the last minutes so I would have to take thier room instead of finding another hotel. Very poor customer service. I will never stay with this place again and also advise my family in the area that works with a lot of the major businesses not to use this hotel.

The rooms were clean and modern, the front desk staff were incredibly kind, and the prices are hard to beat! Would stay here again without hesitation.

Great staff and service, rooms bigger than expected with a great outdoor layout.

We've stayed twice and will stay again. I think theirs is the most helpful and pleasant hotel staff I have ever encountered.

The suites were very comfortable. The kitchenettes were useful and I overal had a good time in the space. The room service was friendly as well.

Went for a Rotary meeting in the conference center. Clean facility and great coffee!

I attended a wedding in the courtyard. I had no idea where the wedding was when I arrived. There should have been signs. It was a super hot day and the only shade was a sun sail mounted over the chairs....directly over them. At 4pm, that meant about 1/3 of the chairs were in the shade. There was no microphone for the ceremony and the music could had transitioning/fading instead of just turning it off each time. The reception room was pretty, but small. Smthe sound system and mics must not have been set up completely in advance. As they were getting ready, they blasted some awful white noise in the speaker several times. My ears were burning afterwards from the pain and we we're probably only 30 ft from the speakers at a table when it happened. Serving staff were very nice. Cake was cut and out on a table, but they ran out quickly and didn't add more for awhile. That was kind of disappointing since eating the cake is part of the fun at the wedding. Part of our table didn't get cake and had to wait for more to be brought out. Overall, it could be a pleasant experience, but there were some really annoying parts that should be more thought out on behalf of the staff and facility. If I were getting married, I personally would not choose this location based on the experience that I had. I did not stay overnight and cannot comment on that part of the business.

Stayed in the 2 king bed suite, very nice suite. The second king bed is upstairs and has it's own bathroom. The upstairs is open to the first floor so the privacy is limited.

Where are the suites ? We had a standard motel room.

I stayed here during the week for business. My suite was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfy. Loved the layout of the suite, set up like an apartment. Definitely would stay here again!

1st time staying here and loved it. Comfortable, quiet, close to town, easy access to ordering in, nice selection for breakfast and very affordable

They wont answer their phone and their website says they have a pool and lounge which the don't.

Excellent service, nice rooms. It's what you might expect from a conference center.

Staff has been very helpful with our needs for our gaming con.

Wonderful staff and very clean. I stay here every time I am in Bloomington for a overnight stay. Rooms are quite and beds are comfortable.

Great stay for the price. Located to close to everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing weekend. Loved that it didn't feel like a "hotel room"!

Lived here as an extended stay guest with my dog for almost 4 months while my home sold and I bought a new one. They treated me like family. I was sad to leave. This is a beautiful property. The 2 bd/2 ba room (more like a townhome) was great for us.

The Eastland suites conference center was great for hosting and presenting at a professional event.

A Hotel with open areas and the very comfortable suites have a kitchen, a half coomedor. This makes it easier for you to travel with babies. Breakfast is included, although they lack variety, this is fine.

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is very helpful. Our group has had several conferences at this hotel because accommodations are comfortable and staff is exceptional to work with.

Our stay was perfect. All the staff are very friendly. Rooms are very comfortable and free breakfast was excellent. Definitely recommend

Great place to stay! Should definitely check out The Deep End Tap! Great bar

great room. better food. good water pressure for shower

After the presentation it was difficult to talk in the run because if the acoustics. The bar was also extremely slow.

We are holding a wedding here right now! The staff have been very helpful. The rooms are clean and roomy.

Loved the room, the lobby, the good coffee and Activia for breakfast. The Christmas tree was beautiful.

I very much enjoyed my stay. I wish there was more you could do there and the food available on site was cheaper or more easily accessible. But it's in a great spot to eat out and the rooms are pretty great, you have the ability to cook every meal as well. Great place overall.

I've stayed here several times, and every time we have received great service. Would recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay in Bloomington.

Attended the trunk or treat with my toddler. It was so much fun. So many vendors and things for all ages to do! The only bad part was parking, but we got there early enough that it wasn't a huge issue.

What a lovely little hotel in the middle of central Illinois! I only stopped by for a night to rest while passing through but I truly appreciated the serene, spacious room and the unbelievably comfortable bed. The free full breakfast wasn't super fancy but it was *more* than sufficient for the price! There was a full kitchen in my suite (table & chairs, full sized fridge, dishwasher, and dinnerware) - not high end but also not out of date - that I would have definitely used if I'd been staying longer. If I find myself needing to stay in Bloomington again, I'll most definitely be returning to Eastland Suites.

It was much nicer than I thought it would be. The pool was a bit cold and there wasn't much to the exercise room but the room we stayed in was beautiful. The free breakfast was delicious also.

Love the location. The parking is good and friendly staff.

Usually before staying at a place, I do my homework and check all the reviews first, but didnt have time this time, but very happy to say we were pleasantly surprised and greatly satisfied with our weekend stay here! The suites were very clean and spacious. We had a balcony, separate living room with fireplace, and tvs in both bed and living rooms which was nice! The location was great because there was access to just about everything one would need. Highly recommended.

Boyfriend booked room for our anniversary, wasn t cleaned for 4 days while we were there.

King Suites are amazing. It's like home away from home. Staff is very friendly. Clean rooms

I attended the Trunk or Treat and have nothing but good things to say! It was well organized and my son had a great time

Very spacious.. That great when 5 ladies are getting ready for a wedding.

Awesome happy hour during the week with free cocktails and a DJ. Staff was very helpful and courteous, and everything is clean!

I went there to attend a wedding and it was beautifully set up and we were served very politely as well!

They're professional, and very very friendly. I'm planning my wedding with them and it's been very easy. Its nice that they take care of everything

Our room was a full 1 bdrm (double sized spring coiled mattress) w/1 bath, small kitchen including stove/sink/fridge/dishwasher (cutlery&other essentials provided) and adjoining living room (w/gas fireplace) and small balcony. Not the most updated facilities and not very sound proof. Alot of the furniture showed age. AC and heat. They do offer complimentary breakfast and 1 evening drink per guest. Our dogs were on edge our entire stay because we could hear the other guests and employees. They did enjoy the patio and large field located conveniently.
Overall not a bad stay especially for the price per night and their helpful staff.

Staff was great. Central location. Room was nice and well priced.

Nice hotel. More like small apartments. The only things I didn't like were 1. They said they had an indoor pool, but in reality they transport you to another hotel to use their indoor pool. There is actually no indoor pool on site. 2. They gave passes for 2 free drinks at the bar, which is awesome, but the bar closes at 7pm. The kids aren't sleep by 7 pm. Other than those two things, it was a great experience.

I attended the conference center for a seminar. The facilities were clean and spacious. The bathrooms were a little crowded, but otherwise everything was great. If your having an event, I'd recommend this convention center.

The rooms are very large and comfortable. They feel welcoming. I've staid here a few times and always have felt like it's a home away from home. The included breakfast and free drinks are always welcomed. Thw biggest issue is the internet speed.

Eastland Suites is a solid hotel choice, especially for the area and the price point. I spent the evening in one of the basic king suites; it contains a complete kitchen, including a microwave, stove and oven, full size fridge, and even contains cabinet space and cooking utensils. No complaints about the maintenance - not everything is brand new but it's all well-maintained.

Front desk staff was friendly, the property itself contains niceties like a firepit, small sitting areas, and is itself well-enough designed and bordered off to help you forget that there's city literally 10 yards away. You really can't find a better spot for the price in Bloomington.

A good value, quiet clean rooms. No frills but a good nights sleep.

Nice place. Cozy tiny room, but fine for one night. The air unit was extremely loud but everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. I liked the green tea amenities. Breakfast was just so-so. The courtyard area was really pretty! Employees were all very friendly.

Rooms were clean. These are pricey rooms. The kids had a good time swimming and like the breakfast bar the next morning.

My husband and I stayed here one night on our drive home to WI from Key West. I was looking for a small quite place to stay and I found the perfect place. Staff is friendly and accommodating. King suite was great. full kitchen and separate bedroom and bath nice living space. Walked out our private entrance to pack up the car. Didn't have time for breakfast before nine so ate at Denny's right down the street. Do yourself a huge favor and do not pass up the opportunity to relax and get a good nights sleep. Had a nice dinner at Jim's steak house five minutes away. (live piano music as well)

The rooms and lobby were well maintained and gorgeous. The rooms were nestled like two story cottages around a path. It was a beautiful place!

Great place to stay. Though it's fitness center is laughable.

I was here for a day long conference and did not spend the night. The conference accommodation was clean and bright and accessible to all. The staff worked hard and the breakfast, lunch, and break time snacks were good. I would attend a conference at this location again! Thanks!
