I stayed here as I was visiting the state capitol for business. The location is very good--right across the street from the capitol, and within walking distance of most of the rest of the city. But I agree that this hotel is somewhat schizophrenic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was comfy, typical of the other Westins I'd stayed at. But the bathroom was tiny, and the tub, tile and lighting had not been updated. The other thing that lost points for me was that they charge $2 for any call, including local and 800-numbers. I didn't notice that I had a $40 phone bill until after I left or I would have complained. My room had a not-so-lovely view of smokestacks.
I also ate at Shula's one evening when I was too tired to go out. It was the only halfway decent meal I had in Indy--this city has very bland taste in food and not a lot else going for it. The steak was good, but overall the meal was not worth $70. If you go, skip the sides.
Overall, I'd say this hotel was worth up to $150 a night (I paid slightly more, and I'm not sure why this city was so expensive). If you're here for business, do pick a nice hotel, because Indy is so boring you may end up just watching movies in your room. The last Westin I stayed at, in Long Beach, Calif., puts this one to shame.
