Top Central Indiana Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Indianapolis Northeast

8/10 Good

"Very helpful staff. One elevator only working entire stay which was compounded when staff needed to use as well for laundry service. Meals were okay, breakfast good but mostly the same everyday. Free dinner and drinks were popular and enjoyed the tabled seating are in the lobby. Rooms clean but very late maid service."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Perfect location if you are seeing a concert at Everwise. Short, few minute walk. Breakfast was included waffles, scrambled eggs, bagels, etc. Let us check in early, but we did get stuck with 2 double beds instead of the King I reserved by doing so. It worked."

Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"So close to the Everwise Amphitheatre and other downtown sites! The rooms were so clean, the bedding felt soft was one of the most comfortable sleeps I've had at a hotel! The price was not bad at all and there was valet parking for a fee. Such an awesome stay!"
