I wanted to love the Scholars Inn. It's charming, great location, staff friendly and helpful, very clean, pillows and bed very comfortable and breakfasts exceptional. However, it is important to know before you go that this is a very old house. The steps are steep and the walls are thin - I was woken up in the middle of the... More

Whenever we need a quick weekend away, my spouse and I relax in Bloomington--and the best place we've found is the Scholar's Inn! I wish I wasn't so bad with names, because the woman who runs the Inn is one of the most pleasant & accommodating innkeepers I have ever encountered. On out last visit in April, she really made...

Recently stayed at the Scholar's Inn and had a marvelous time. Before we even checked in we were able to negotiate a great deal on one of the best suites, since no one else had booked any of the rooms for the weekend. Once we got there, the woman who helped us was very accommodating and friendly. The house was... More

Scholar's Inn was fabulous. The comfy soft down bed spreads in pure white were like magic when I laid my head down into the same soft unbelievably perfect pillows. I think my husband was talking when I fell asleep, but I was out so fast I can only remember glimpses of dreams that took me years away to some other... More

Loved this B&B and its next-door restaurant. Check out the picture of our room, which was only $99 and included a wonderful breakfast served on the adjoining patio. Our room was immaculate, the pillow-top king-size bed was wonderful, and the decor was charming . The restaurant was a bit expensive but very, very good. We give this B&B our highest... More

I just returned from an overnight stay at the Scholars Inn. I went up with 3 of my high school friends. The staff at the Scholars Inn was extremely nice and the breakfast was excellent. The Inn could use some updating and the upstairs was a little too warm as it was July. One drawback is that the Inn is... More

My husband and I stay at the Scholars Inn about 5 times a year. I would never go anywhere else. The people there are so nice and friendly. They go out of their way for you. The house is very beautiful. More

The Website promised all rooms with PRIVATE BATHROOMS! When I called to reserve the room they did not tell me that the "private" bathroom was outside the room down the hall! Was I surprised to find a flashlight and a bathrobe provided in case I or my teenage daughter needed to use it in the night. All the other rooms... More

I'm amazed that no other reviewers have written about the Scholars Inn. I just had a delightful stay there in late May 2004. The rooms are charmingly decorated with lovely touches, avoiding the cute/kitschy. The king-sized bed was heavenly. Staff was friendly but also very courteous and polite. The breakfast was very good, with cheesy scrambled eggs, sausages, and fruit... More
