Top Indianapolis Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Indianapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing and the room was very comfy. Very happy with my first experience"

Hyatt Regency Indianapolis

10/10 Excellent

"We were there for an event at the Lucas Oil Stadium. The location was nice and close. There is a connection from the hotel to the stadium for the most part. You still need to go outside some. It is rather confusing and not very clearly marked so allow extra time. The only other inconvenience was parking. Maybe this is typical as this was my first time in this city. If you don’t valet, you must use an attached garage managed by PNC or another of your choice nearby. Garage is very tight and confusing. Once again allow extra time for this if you are on a time crunch for an event start time. Hotel desk attendant was super nice, room was very clean and bed was comfy."

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