The Spotlight on Showers Inn

Charming B&B Comfort Just Minutes from Bloomington's Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic charm at Showers Inn, a cozy bed and breakfast located just a 10-minute walk from Indiana University and close to downtown Bloomington's live music venues. Set in a peaceful garden setting, this inn offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and some with balconies or seating areas—perfect for relaxing after a night out. With free WiFi and onsite parking, it's a stress-free choice for concert-goers visiting the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show, you'll love how walkable Showers Inn is to key venues like Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and the nearby downtown music spots. The location is quiet and residential, making it ideal for winding down after a high-energy concert. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:30 AM check-out gives you time to rest and recharge without rushing.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a cozy home base near the action
- Solo travelers seeing their favorite artist at IU
- Couples wanting a romantic and relaxing post-concert stay
- Fans looking for peace and quiet after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer value over frills

Food and Drink Options

While Showers Inn doesn’t have a restaurant onsite, guests rave about the delicious breakfast served each morning—ideal if you stayed out late. Bloomington’s downtown, just blocks away, is packed with late-night eateries and cafés within walking distance. There's no room service, but plenty of dining nearby to satisfy post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

You're within easy reach of Bloomington’s top bars, breweries, and live music lounges. Whether you're looking to keep the night going or just sip a local IPA at a chill spot, the neighborhood offers great nightlife variety. While the inn itself is quiet, the action is just a short walk away.

What People Say

Guests consistently highlight the clean, beautifully decorated rooms, the friendly staff, and the convenient location near Indiana University and downtown. Many appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the quality of the included breakfast. It's particularly popular with travelers who want comfort without the bustle of a large hotel.

Areas for Improvement

Because it’s a smaller inn, there are no elevators, so packing light is a bonus. There’s also no 24-hour front desk, so make sure to coordinate your check-in time if you’re arriving especially late. Some guests wished for more modern amenities like in-room coffee makers, but the charm and comfort often make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Showers Inn delivers quiet charm and walkable convenience for concert-goers who want a relaxing, well-located stay in Bloomington.

Beautiful place to stay -...

Liked: The inn is beautiful and well appointed. The grounds are lovely and restful. The innkeeper friendly and breakfast excellent. Our room was upstairs overlooking the enclosed garden. If we were staying longer, we would have spent time there. Peonies and other flowers were starting to bloom, and there's a pretty fountain. We stayed in the inn itself, but there are also two (?) other cottages with rooms. We'd come for an overnight visit to see an art exhibit at IU. The inn is walking distance (15 minutes) from the Eskenazi Art Museum through tree-lined residential streets. Another five minute walk brings you to numerous restaurants and bars.
Disliked: Nothing to complain about.

Very good

Liked: Quaint old world, lovely breakfast. Everything very clean great location.
Disliked: No hot water. Had to ring host who advised it was hot water on demand so run the bath which then heated the water. Would be good idea to post that notification in the room rather than having to make an international phone call.
