No pool!! Fasle advertising

They advertise a pool but the pool has been closed for a year. We booked this hotel because it had an indoor pool. And in fact it is closed. They say under maintenance but being shut down for a year...

Misleading Listing and Poor Conditions

We’re a traveling basketball team, and we booked Candlewood Suites in Bloomington specifically for the pool and the in-room fridge—both important when you’ve got a group of kids and a weekend full of games. While the fridge is a decent size, it definitely needed a proper cleaning (some mystery liquid was lurking in the drawers—yikes). The biggest issue? The pool. It’s been out of order for nearly a year, but that wasn’t mentioned anywhere when we booked. If we had known, we absolutely would’ve chosen a different hotel. The photos online are misleading. Cleanliness was also a letdown. One of the bathroom pictures in our room had long hair caked to the glass—like it hadn’t been wiped in forever. And unfortunately, every room our team booked had a weird, musty funk to it that was impossible to ignore. Needless to say, our team won’t be staying here again, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either—especially if you’re traveling with kids or expecting basic amenities to match the listing.

cute little suite

This is a cute little suite! A decent kitchenette that would be great for an extended stay. conveniently located off the highway and close drive to downtown Bloomington. The room, bedding, bathroom, and lobby looked clean and professional.

The location was accessible and easy to find. However the smell of the elevators about put me over the edge. It smelled like vomit. The refrigerator in our room had a clicking noise the entire time. There was no ice machine on any level except the main/ground floor. No continental breakfast.
