An Extraordinary Stay

Although my stay was top notch from check-in to check-out, the included breakfast (from a menu) stood out as the best I have had at a hotel or B & B. It was incredible as was the wait staff who took my order and delivered exceptional service.

A wonderful B&B. There is the main house but we stayed in the annex called The Composer in room 110 (2nd floor, corner room). Breakfast was delicious and well worth the stay. Only drawbacks: 1) the only have ROKU service so we never were able to access cable news 2) it is a double bed but comfortable.
Bathroom (shower activated by pulldown plug under bath spigot).
Includes timer controlled fireplace.
Great windows/shutters.

What an absolute hidden gem! My room was HUGE & the bed was so comfy. I stayed in Composer building and I couldn't have been more pleased. The courtyard was so adorable!!! We were visiting for graduation so I unfortunately had leave before breakfast was served, but I will 100% return. This was one of the most adorable and lovely hotels I have stayed at in a very long time.

No one works at front desk after 7pm. When i finally got into my room later that night- the shower handle was broken and i couldn’t turn the shower on. I called the front desk and emailed them. No one responded. I finally managed to get the shower on with cold water. I reached out to owner about some items left in the room after check out and he/she never responded

I haven't stayed in a traditional bed and breakfast for many years but the Showers Inn reminded me just how great they can be. The staff was incredible in reaching out beforehand, during checkin and throughout the stay. The room was wonderful. The made to order breakfast was incredible. Will definitely stay here again if I am ever in Bloomington again.
