Same order as the list above. Room counts and the breakfast, parking, and shuttle marks come from each hotel's own listing data. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions
How does a room block work for group hotel booking in Bloomington?
When you book a block of rooms, the hotel sets aside that number of rooms for your group until a cutoff date, typically a few weeks before arrival. Before the cutoff, you assign travelers to specific rooms. After the cutoff, any unassigned rooms are released back to the hotel, so it's important to finalize your room assignments on time.
What should I compare when choosing a hotel for a group in Bloomington?
The comparison table on this page shows room count, brand, distance from downtown Bloomington, free breakfast, free parking, shuttle service, and guest ratings. Some hotels like Hilton Garden Inn Bloomington, Hyatt Place Bloomington, and Courtyard by Marriott Bloomington have larger room counts, which can matter if your group is sizable. Free parking and shuttle service are common at several hotels on this list.
How does billing work when I book a group stay through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you receive one invoice for the entire stay instead of managing separate charges for each traveler. You can choose from multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform.
Can these Bloomington hotels accommodate a group of 9 or more rooms?
Yes, these hotels are listed because they have the room count to handle group stays and have been booked by groups through Engine before. You should still confirm availability for your specific dates, as inventory varies.
What counts as a group booking, and what if I only need 8 rooms or fewer?
A group booking is 9 or more rooms reserved for the same dates. For that size, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking process for you. If you need 8 rooms or fewer, you can book those rooms yourself directly on Engine.
