Loved this hotel. Booked it online after seeing it ranked #1 on this site. We were visiting Indy for the first time ever to see the Colts get robbed by the Patriots. First of all, Indy was a surprisingly beautiful and clean city. Well organized, we loved the town.

On to the hotel, the rooms are very modern and stylish. My wife wouldn't let me settle in because she was taking photos for the first 5 minutes of how cool it was. The rooms are laid out very well. The location is perfect, lots of bars, restaurants, and a comedy club all within hundreds of feet of the place. We heard no road or rowdy noises but we were on the back of the hotel. Breakfast was nice, it's all free and it's usually scrambled eggs,bacon, cereal, fruits, plus one of those waffle maker machines. Overall pretty good.

Only two complaints-
1. Elevators are the slowest known to mankind. Amazingly slow. We stopped taking them and used the stairs.
2. Shower temp was barely tolerable, talking just warm enough to shower but not a comfortable experience. I should have complained but didn't. It probably was fixable but I guess I'm a wimp.

first off--the good: the rooms are enormous and nicely furnished and
the location is very convenient. it's walking distance from many of the downtown restaurants, just down the block from a mall w/a nordstrom's and carson pirie scott, and an easy drive to the zoo. we used the valet parking and it was great--well worth the $22. the $15 that the hotel charges for parking w/no in and out privileges is the same as what you'll pay at the surrounding garages and lots. breakfast was well-stocked and not crowded. and there was free internet in the room.

however, it can be quite noisy esp if you get a street side room. we were on the 2nd floor, right on meridian and both fri and sat night the noise of bikers, revving car engines, thumping music, etc. lasted
well past midnight. also, one of our main reasons for getting a suite
is to be able to stay up after we put the baby to bed. however, there
is no door in these suites between the living area and the sleeping area. the 2 are separated by a bathroom/closet area so you could sit quietly on the couch and read w/a dim light w/out too much light filtering back to the bed area, but still--it's essentially one big room (the rooms are laid out in a straight line, living rm/bath/sleep
area).

otherwise, the decor was quite nice and everything else was in excellent condition.

Great hotel! Everything was top notch for us! Two couples went to enjoy a weekend away from the kids...and we enjoyed our time there. Breakfast was a very nice touch! Not a typical continental breakfast!

after trip advisor reviews on this hotel I expected the hotel to be quite a bit above average. It was. In fact it was simply wonderful. Beautiful rooms, roomy and thoughtfully appointed. That will be our downtown hotel from now on.
