Short drive to Lake Monroe and Brown County State Park

Cons

2 miles distance to Assembly Hall

Limited dining hours at Coaches Bar & Grill, serving only breakfast and dinner

“The location certainly stands out, placing you near Indiana University and the attractions of downtown Bloomington; the Coaches Bar & Grill adds a distinctive, local touch for dining and entertainment. However, some past visitors have reported issues with room maintenance and parking, suggesting an inconsistent experience. It appears this property has strong potential but needs some attention to detail.”
