Ironworks Hotel Indy

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Incredible rainfall shower, the beds are actually quite comfortable, as are the pillows. They had large bath sheets as opposed to just tiny towels. While we didn’t use the in-room snack bar or fridge, we did make use of the QR code with the prices of each item, and the prices really weren’t too bad considering the convenience! The room card-protected hallway also added an extra safety feature that i truly would’ve never thought of. The staff was very kind, they accommodated my very late check-in."

The Fontana Hotel

8/10 Good

"The outside of this place definitely looks crazy I expected the inside to look the same, but was very surprised the inside was pretty nice and clean. The only downsides to my stay was the fact that my AC did not work, so it was hot in my room and the only accommodation I was offered was a box fan that I had to ask for in the middle of the night, the next morning when I had to extend my stay I was offered after bringing it up to switch rooms but at that point I was already leaving the next morning so that wouldn’t have made it sense. With it being so hot in my room it made it hard for me to get ready or even be as comfortable as I would’ve been with AC. Another downside would be the location of my room it was pretty hard to find the inside I of the hotel is a little confusing it only had 2 floor and one elevator but to get to the elevator it seems like you have to walk a mile. Also just so you are aware the room does not have a microwave! There is one in the lobby but again you have to walk a mile and half just to get to the lobby lol. Overall decent hotel and decent price (staff was also friendly) I would stay here again if I was accommodated properly."

Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for Fever game and museums. Excellent large workout room and close to paved trail for people who like to get a run or walk in while traveling. Easy parking in covered garage. Only complaint is noise from concert at the Zoo across the street went on until 11pm."
