"Good 👍"

Bottleworks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. If you’re a fan of Art Deco - it’s a must see/stay. Even if you’re not (which I can’t imagine) it’s still an amazing experience. The entire Bottle Works District has plenty of places to eat, drink and enjoy, and it is truly a one-of-a-kind destination. It’s also provides for a stellar stroll up Mass Ave to Monument Circle passing cool shops, eateries and more."

Hyatt House Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Parking pass for the game was awesome. Proximity to the stadium was perfect 10/10"

Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown IUPUI

10/10 Excellent

"Since there are two properties in one it’s a bit confusing but the staff are great at sorting that out. Everything was clean and well maintained. It is right across the street from the campus which is super convenient. There is a parking garage but it has very limited spaces. There is a Starbucks on the corner. There is an indoor pool and workout facility in the building. Short walk to many restaurants. I’d stay there again."
