I'd go back in a heartbeat! I took my daughter on a 15th birthday trip, just the two of us. We stayed at the Hotel Indigo, which reminded her of her favorite book, "Alice In Wonderland" as the chairs were oversized and the colors all bright blues and greens. The room was a bit small, but the service was great and the ambiance fun and friendly. Great location, with a great little cafe right down the street.

A great place to stay! Check in was a breeze. We got there early and the staff was very helpful, changing us from a non-smoking queen room to a king smoking room! The room wasn't ready yet so they held our bags for us and recommened places in the area to grab a drink & bite to eat. We came back and went to our room on the 4th floor just off of the elevator. I was worried that it would be very noisy, but it was not! :) The room was so comfortable and had everything we needed. I love the shower, lots of pressure & hot water. The hotel is located close to the action. Tons of places to eat, drink & shop close by. The Red Line is a block away and there were always taxis out front if you don't like to walk. You can take a short stroll and the Magnificent Mile is right there to do all the shopping you could want. There is plenty to see & do within blocks of the hotel. The hotel is located in a very residential area with beautiful old brownstones. The area was well lit and seemed totally safe to walk in. I would recommend the Indigo to anyone!

Went to Chicago for a long weekend with a group of 8 women who just wanted to see Chicago. The Hotel Indigo was located on a great street just blocks from the Metra but close enough to take taxis home at the end of the day or walk to Rush St. for great restaurants. On arrival, we were able to leave our bags so we could get the most out of the rest of the day & when we returned around 8 o'clock, our rooms were waiting & our luggage sent up. Since we were 4 in a room, they had given us their lager rooms right next to each other. We all loved the "beach decor" of the rooms, with the bright walls, white beds & furniture & large windows. All through our stay the staff at the front desk could not have been more helpful. They helped us arrange tours, get cabs for the airport and answered any questions we had with an eagerness to help. We qall loved Chicago & the Hotel Indigo.

From the moment we arrived we were impressed. The hotel was beautiful, clean, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Our room was large and clean. The hotel was quiet. Located near the train so we didn't need to rent a car. I would highly recommend this establishment.

I had two free nights via Priority Club, so I used them for Hotel Indigo in Chicago. Originally I had asked for a king room, but later, my step-daughter decided to go along, and I asked to change to a double queen. No problem.

After a dreary, rainy drive, the bright colors, great smell, and fun look of the lobby really cheered us up. The staff treated us just like paying customers, and were courteous, friendly and helpful. We had gotten there early but were able to get our room right away. We used the valet parking which made everything simple for unloading our car, and actually never took it out again until we left.

When we saw our room we were truly delighted. The room was very large, (for Chicago, it was huge!) with the two queen beds, a sitting area with a table, two chairs and an armchair and the bathroom (admittedly small, the only downside of the room). We were on the front side of the building, over Dearborn Parkway, on the 9th floor, and could even see the Lake--what a great view. We found a goody bag with cashews and chocolates, another nice thing after driving, waiting for us with a pleasant note in it.

The beds were comfortable, the shower, although very small, had great water pressure and was nice and hot. The Aveda products were a plus.

I've also stayed at Hotel Indigo in Fishers, Indianapolis and found both to be good experiences--fun, lively, bright colors, just a lot different from the other chain hotels, making the stay a relaxing, interesting visit. I really can't find anything to complain about!
