We stayed at this property while in Indy for the Mini Marathon and opening day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The hotel is easy to get to from the interstate and we used the painless $22 in/out valet parking. The location was a couple of blocks from our marathon starting corral. Check in was quick even though the desk was busier than a long term suite hotel desk usually is.
The room was a 2-queen suite with exposed brick, girders, huge windows and a high ceiling. Two 16x9 TVs, a full kitchen, dining area, comfy beds, free internet, 2 phones, hide-a-bed, and a huge bathroom with quality fixtures. Every part of this room was fresh, clean and in great shape.
The complimentary breakfast was great - they even opened it earlier than usual Saturday to accomodate the pre-dawn marathon participant guests! They were short on silverware and glassware due to the high number of hungry runners that descended on them, but they were washing and restocking as fast as humanly possible.
The Old Spaghetti Factory is directly across the street - a solid, inexpensive family Italian restaurant chain. Try the Mizithra Cheese with Browned Butter pasta for a delicious carbo load the night before a long run.
The only negative thing I can say about this property is that the wait for the elevator was long during check in and check out. This would not be any problem at all when their typical long term customers are in the majority, but when the rooms are full of weekend event goers, there can be a wait. Tip: there's a second elevator at the rear of the property that sits idle at the rear of the property - so take advantage of that!
