La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Indianapolis Downtown

6/10 Okay

"Hair was all over the room. The bed had stains on it and there was eggs left over in the fridge from previous guests."

Drury Inn & Suites Indianapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast and dinner menu is really good, and the staff is very friendly and helpful! My daughter and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway, and we truly enjoyed ourselves! One thing we would suggest is that the staff clean out the whirlpool periodically throughout the day because of the amount of oil and dirt that we saw while trying to relax. That was a turn off for us returning back to the pool the next day."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"Initially our rooms temperature was at 77 degrees. We ended up switching to another room and then that rooms air conditioning worked. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. They apologized for the inconvenience and like I said before were very accommodating. "
