Grant Street Inn Evolves Right OFF the List
August 28, 2024
We’ve been coming to the Grant Street Inn since the year that it opening (in 1993). Sadly, not many improvements have been made in that time. LOL.
The latest and last trip in August 2024 was the last straw. No more Grant Street Inn.
We requested room 31, and ended up with some disaster of a room on the second floor. Oopsie.
One showerhead and a warning NOT to stay here if you can help it. Nope. All loyalty drained from the loyalty pool.
Bloomington Done Right: The Grant Street Inn

You know how we feel here at NPS when it comes to generic hotels. The good news is that this trip (off season and not on a game weekend) the Grant Street Inn had our favorite room available. Needless to say, this place beats the heck out of the Hyatt Place.
So here we are in room 31. Sadly the fireplace has been disconnected and no longer functions. In fact, there are a few things that could use sprucing up…like better furnishings, no ancient radio, no phone that plugs into the wall, and some outlets built into the bedside table. You can do it guys!!
Hey now @GrantStInn what is this wired up beige thing and/or this plastic cup thing? Not to mention the (unplugged) clock radio. In fact, what is radio?

The first trip of 2020 started out great with a last minute upgrade from United who seems to have changed their upgrade policy to make things more nail biting for Global Services members. Not sure how we feel about that.
And then there was the hilarious stretch limo that the car service used to get us from Indy to Bloomington.
While in Bloomington, visit the Irish Lion for a stiff drink. And have some food at Anyetsang’s Little Tibet Restaurant.

The Grant Street remains our favorite location to stay in Bloomington. Four showerheads.
Grant Street Inn Bloomington, IN

There have been so many visits to this fine property over so many years (almost all in room 30) that I will skip the pictures this time.
Here’s a VINE posting from the porch

If you stay anywhere in Bloomington, Indiana, stay at the Grant Street Inn. Four perpetual showerheads forever.
In other news, the Irish Lion has a very nice selection of decent bourbon. Rumor has it, they will have a shipment of antique collection bourbon soon. Meanwile, rye concoctions with Handy Sazarac Rye are available.
