"x"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Indianapolis Dtn-Conv Ctr Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The Location, being directly across from Lucas Oil and then also an 8 min walk to Victory Field, makes this place perfect. The staff was more than helpful with everything, especially Tiffany at check-in. She was amazing. Breakfast the next morning was great as well. Wide variety and plenty of seating. Will definitely be back"

Staybridge Suites Indianapolis Downtown - Convention Center by IHG

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay overall, and everything else was very good. However, I was disappointed because the photos in the listing showed what appeared to be a rooftop patio with a fire pit. That amenity was one of the reasons I chose this property, but there was no rooftop patio or fire pit at this location. I feel the photos were misleading and did not accurately represent the property. Because I booked expecting this advertised amenity, I would like to request some type of refund or compensation."

Tru By Hilton Indianapolis Downtown, IN

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Staff was very friendly."

The Westin Indianapolis

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this hotel, but the location and well-equipped fitness center definitely stood out. I’d love to stay here again!"
