Bloomington Illinois
 

Where to stay overnight in Bloomington, Illinois? Close to Hwy 51/55.

If you want cheap then there's a Motel 6 and a Studio 8 near 51 (Main St) and I-55 in Normal. If you want something better then there's a Best Western.

The area is not that big, so really any of these hotels should work if you have a brand preference. I have stayed many times at Best Western University Inn, though it has been years so I'd hesitate to comment on quality (which was fine at the time). Location is very close to expressway.
