I'll admit that I was skeptical of the many less than stellar reviews of The Canterbury. After all, who would expect a historic hotel to have bright new modern furnishings? I surely did not, and was looking forward to my night in a hotel full of character and tradition. Well, last night I had my opportunity. The hotel does have... more

My wife and I stayed at the Canterbury this past Saturday for one night. Having stayed at the hotel some years ago I was anticipating a great stay. Unfortunately this hotel is in a huge state of decline. The service was extremely poor and the rooms outdated and very tired. Any money that has been invested in the hotel is... more

Our room was dirty and old. The bathroom tiles were moldy and dirty. The nice molding all around the room was filthy. The room had no iron and they told me I had only 2hrs to use it. I would never stay there again. What a shame for what once was probably a beautiful hotel. The lobby is very impressive... more

I went to Indy on business. I knew we were having dinner at St. Elmo and I knew the Canterbury was right next store, so I got online, found a $99 rate and booked. I have read all the tepid reviews but I thought, "How bad can this be for one night?" Well, it was terrific. Now if you want... more

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary this year by doing something we have never done and that was spend the night in a fine hotel in downtown Indianapolis. We had always heard outstanding things about the Canterbury Hotel and it seemed a good choice for this occasion. Everything about our stay was great until we went to... more

I stayed here based on a recommendation from someone who must not have been to Indianapolis in at least two decades. The lobby was nice and the service was fine, but the rooms were brutally outdated. My room was a museum piece of early 1980s design, especially the mocha tub with gold fixtures. This is an otherwise nice hotel that... more

We stayed in the Presidential Suite at the Canterbury Hotel on the night of July 7, 2009. It is almost impossible to describe how bad our suite was. Several of the items in the mini-bar were stale dated by more than 5 months. We were supposed to receive a Wine and Cheese basket upon our arrival . We looked in... more

My husband and I have stayed here over the years many times and have always had lovely, romantic times in this fabulous hotel. The decline since our last visit is very sad. We were greeted with a bad odor in the entry and no doorman or anyone to greet us or help us with our luggage or car. The lobby... more

I stayed at the Canterbury when my husband had to have emergency surgery while on a business trip to Indy. The hotel was very quiet, comfortable, and well appointed, and I slept like a log. Staff members were helpful and cordial. I liked that it was attached to a mall, giving me the opportunity to find food and other provisions... more
