This is a charming place on campus, convenient if you visit the university. The room is clean and charming, with a large openable window. But I couldnt sleep here because the ur-old air conditioning is gruesome, making loud droning noises, unstoppably. The problem is you cant turn it off. You can turn the temperature up or down, but you cant stop the airflow and the terrible noise! Its very unfortunate! One night I stayed up until 5am and made 5 phone calls to request that the thing be turned off centrally. I was told that it was turned off but there was a back-vent that circulates air that nobody can do anything about. This drove me crazy !! If you are sensitive to noise, go somewhere else, the Hilton is not far away from campus.

I had a great experience here. Everything in the rooms is extremely old fashioned but so well cared for that it all looks brand new. Its almost eerie; like they might just have a warehouse full of brand new 1920s lamps or 1980s mini fridges in perfect condition and once one breaks, they simply replace it with a duplicate. Everything is extremely clean and the beds are perfect. The staff members are excellent; helpful and courteous. I accidentally left 2 toiletry items in the room and only realized a day later. They ran around tracking the items down and offered to ship them to me when they were able to locate them. I was just shocked they had located them! Ive never had a hotel hold onto items like that before.

Had an excellent stay at the Biddle Hotel and Conference Center! The room was small but will furnished, clean, and comfortable. The hotel is close to a lot of campus attractions and dining. It appears that some of their renovations are incomplete so going around corners might find you in a less appealing hallway but everything is still very pleasant. Keep an eye on the bus schedule too - its a bit of a hike from the airport and not timing your flight with the bus can mean multi hour stays at the airport.

My experience is beyond my expectations. Not only is within the amazing campus of IU-Bloomington, voted the most beautiful University campus in USA, the rooms are outstanding, good taste and very clean. The service from the moment you enter and at all time is a 5 star. I would highly highly recommend this place 100%. Excellent for meetings. I only missed a bath robe but no complains because everything else is super.

Went in to get a quick bite to eat. Stopped by the Burger King on the main floor. Good service, but somewhat hard to find. Unlike other student unions I have visited on other college campuses, this one seemed much more difficult to navigate. By not having as open of a concept as other union buildings, IUs union was much harder to get in, find what we were looking for, and get out.

Dave Tebaldi

Clean rooms, central location, competitive rates, and very friendly staff. May be a little outdated compared to other local options, but staying in the union provides you easy walking access to the majority of campus, with the added benefit of staying in the historic union. Lots of interesting things to discover in the building itself.

It was very nice. They gave me coffee here and it tasted okay. There were also snacks that someones tuition payed for but that as okay because it wasnt mine. The coffee here was better than the last hotel and it almost kept me awake through the very boring q&a panel they had for incoming students. Free t-shirt though.

I stayed in one of the newly renovated Grande Suites. It was very well done, and sparkling clean. This is the top end of lodging available in and around Bloomington. A very enjoyable stay! I think the price point is a bit high, but if you want the best...thats what it costs!

We have our end-of-year work retreats in the IMU conference rooms. Its a nice place with more than enough space for our gathering and plenty of rooms for breakouts. The only real flaw was having to dodge crowds of students and it could get confusing to navigate the building.

Attended a wedding here, the place was beautiful but it was hard to figure out which entrance to use. There should be more signs outside directing you to the many entrances in this huge building. We were late to the wedding just trying to figure out where to go.

IMU is conveniently located on the Indiana University campus and has a multitude of amenities to satisfy students, faculty, and guests to the campus. There are several restaurants from casual to fine dining. It is also a great place to hold an event.

El lugar está muy bien situado en la Universidad de Indiana, aunque es un poco caro para lo que ofrece.

Cody Damico

Great location at the heart of the university within walking distance of Kirkwood. Rooms are clean and have everything you need, theres a food court in the building as well. Only bad part is all the construction, its very loud and starts early.

Eliott Wells

Some remodeling work done made for unpleasant smells in the hallway, but overall a very nice hotel in the middle of IU, nice accomodations for guests, including starbucks coffee. Overall, Biddle was a little bit above the middle.

Amanda Olson

As an alumni I had a great experience staying at the IMU and reliving my college experience. The room was neat, but small which was fine as I was there to enjoy the campus and not the room. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Joseph Baertschi

Restrooms are difficult to find, and newer portions of the building seem sterile in comparison to the character of the incorporated traditional architecture. That said, the rich decor is generally pleasent.

Noah Gottlieb

As a student, the Biddle Hotel and Conference Center has never let me down. They are always prompt to answer space reservation requests and keep an orderly and professional meeting goes environment.

Allison Maniscalco

Staying in the biddle when I was touring schools was great. I really felt like I was a part of the campus for the night. Definitely consider staying there if youre going to be touring the school.

Alyson Thiel

I visited the Biddle hotel to pick up a friend so I didnt really spend much time there. However, what I experienced of the hotel was nice. It seemed clean and the staff was friendly and helpful!

Paradoxical Politoed

The overall experience wasnt very pleasant, but that had more to do with the event than the setting. The rooms are very nice, and conducive to a positive event space. Service was quite good.

Andrew G. Bernhardt

Great parking, great central location to main campus, and complete with an indoor shooting range, bowling alley, restaurants, shops, cafes, and even a hotel, and plenty of places to study!

Bradley Barger

Comfortable, clean, friendly! The room was very comfortable, came with a refrigerator, had a nice view of the courtyard, and is located in a gorgeous old building on the Indiana Campus.

Ryan Cutshall

Beautiful place to visit, study, eat, bowl, catch a movie, or meet new people. I go here for swing dancing once a week throughout the semester, its full of cool surprises and events.

Scott Szakonyi

I was here for a professional conference. The facilities are lovely and food provided in the context of the event was of excellent quality. I would recommend it as a conference venue.

Michael McCann

The IMU has so much to offer and with this hotel being connected it allows for easy food and entertainment. There are also nice conference rooms that are open most of the day.

Mallorie Gomez

I stayed here for work. My room was very accommodating. The only thing I would say is that my bed was very squeaky and as I turned over at night, it woke me up a few times.
