Ironworks Hotel Indy

10/10 Excellent

"Overall the hotel was amazing! Stayed two nights and my stay was fantastic. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had about the area that I had. Hotel was really beautiful and well themed as an old time ironworks place in the early 1900’s. My room was beautiful and nicer than I thought it would be. The area is ideal, really nice restaurants all around the hotel and the fashion mall is literally across the street with a lot of nice places to shop and eat. I had to travel to get to the convention center which was about 25min away and cost about $40 with tip on uber. My only two down points about the hotel is the bed was harder than a rock and it did not make for the greatest sleep. The other is there are no simple vending machines for basic snacks or drinks. They do have in room mini fridges stocked with drinks and snacks but prices are high for what they are. I would suggest bringing your own. Other than that I’d definitely go back to this hotel. It really made my stay in Indy better and more memorable."

The Fontana Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel was hard to find. the GPS took us around the back of the property. Once we arrived we weren't sure if we were even in the right place. The outside of the property made me a little nervous. It was poorly lit without a clearly defined front entrance. The parking lot was in need of repair. We had to be buzzed into the lobby even to enter the building. Once inside the hotel was lovely and the staff were kind. The room was clean and spacious. While it wasn't glamorous it was comfortable. The breakfast included cereals and yogurts, but also had a waffle station. That was more than enough to start our day. The hotel did share that we could walk across the short entrance area to the larger hotel and have breakfast there if we wanted a hot meal. We did have an issue with our door-lock, and we let the clerk know the following morning. Otherwise an uneventful stay at a fair price."

Hyatt Regency Indianapolis

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here during Gen Con and it’s always my go to for the event. The entire hotel goes with the theme and staff are always so helpful. It’s a convenient location for the convention center, but also for restaurants and things, too, both inside and outside the hotel. 10/10 would recommend, especially during Gen Con."
