Mr. Silver... would you recommend a hotel or B&B to stay in Bloomington? Ellettsville seems very small.
Hmm. I think it would be neat to have a couple of hours to explore the architecture in Columbus -- I have not checked distances yet, but it may be as close as I get for while!

My condo is humble but open to all...the more the merrier...the more the more crowded as well, but better than the gymnasium. Last year we had three guests here (TrekJeni and two friends) and we had a blast! Originally Posted by pll

As for a Bed & Breakfast, Grant Street Inn is near downtown and very nice...but it's corporate owned by the local billionaire...not innkeeper maintained. The IU Union is nice as well and on campus. Century Suites is a B&B type hotel on the east side of town at one of the race intersections featured in Breaking Away (3rd & Hwy 446)
Columbus is 45 minutes east of Bloomington and then about 3.5 hours from Chicago on I-65.If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

That's so kind of you! I would love to meet some TEers.
I am a terrible climber, so I will suffer in this ride and will be exhausted by the end of each day... this is what makes me think of a hotel or B&B.

I'm pretty sure that the Grant Street Inn has some jacuzzi rooms.
Another B&B is Scholar's Inn.
Newest hotels in the area are:
- Hilton Garden Suites (downtown)
- Homewood Suites (Hwy 37)
- Radisson (Hwy 45/46)
Other than that, nearly every chain exists from inexpensive to top dollar.
You are welcome to stay here in our hovel, but the bigger the crowd, the less the privacy...
