Reservations for Campus Events

Plan ahead

Football season and graduation are some of the most exciting times on the Indiana University Bloomington campus—and some of the busiest times at the Biddle Hotel. Because of the high demand for rooms during those times, we have special reservations procedures for stays during home football game weekends and Spring Commencement weekend.

Home football game weekends

Reservations for stays on home football game weekends are announced online and require a deposit equal to your full stay. Anticipate a charge 30 days prior to your stay using the credit card used to make the reservation.

Reservation policies for football weekends:

  • A minimum stay of two nights is required.
  • A deposit equal to the room rate and applicable taxes for your entire stay will be charged 30 days prior to your stay.
  • You may cancel up to five days prior to the first day of your stay and receive a full refund of your deposit. If you cancel fewer than five days prior, you forfeit your deposit.
  • Any changes or cancellations must be sent in writing to imuhotel@indiana.edu
