Indianapolis Hotels | Places to Stay in Indianapolis

July 3, 2022 Chanda Heide

High-speed, history and good old Hoosier hospitality are a few reasons to put Indianapolis on your list of great getaways. Sports is another. From the legendary Indianapolis 500 to the Pacers and the Colts, the city offers ample opportunities to view professional and amateur sporting events, take part in athletic events and visit sports museums. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Hall Of Fame Museum you can tour the famous track (try to reserve tickets if there is a race in town) or visit the museum dedicated to automobiles and auto racing. Other sporty museums include the NCAA Hall of Champions. To get in on some of the action, head to SportZone which features six acres of indoor athletic facilities the whole family will enjoy. Those less interested in sports, or with kids in tow, can still find tons to do in and around the city. History, art and other cultural attractions abound. Visit the Children's Museum or checkout the zoo. Stroll along cobblestone streets past 19th-century buildings in the Lockerbie Square District or visit any number of historic landmarks. Known as the "Crossroads of America," more interstate highways bisect Indianapolis than any other city in the country, making it an exciting and easily accessible destination.

Unique wonderful room

Reviewed By AngelaG175

This room was full of the unexpected. Every nook had something cozy. The outdoor "porch" was a wonderful place to snuggle. If you are into the spirit world, I heard the soft sound of piano at 4 in the morning. Breakfast was perfect. The military museums were true gems. We will be staying here again

Superb hotel - very well done

Reviewed By chr888

Fantastic two night weekend stay. We arrived late Friday night but no delays from either valet or reception staff. Excellent room - loads of space, quiet and great blackout blinds. We went to the bar both Friday and Saturday night - drinks were very good as was the service. Also we got coffee at the coffee shop for breakfast each day. Highly recommend and we will stay there next time.

It’s refreshing to get the service and attention that the Ironworks Hotel Indy staff gave me and my wife when we arrived. You can pick hotels by how clean they are or by where they’re located. You don’t always get the attention to details and smiles along with it like you do here. It is are favorite hotel. It will be our special occasion get away and the first place we suggest to friends and family. It’s a must visit……they’ll make you want to find a reason to come back.

Worst hotel experience ever!

Reviewed By D6582WDelizabethv

I booked a double room and the room they gave me was a king. I was told they didn't have any more available and I was to make do with my 3 kids in this room. No cots, just a wad of blankets to create beds. I was not the only guest who had an incorrect room or even a missing reservation. Then, the hot tub was closed the whole time and they closed the pool at 10:30 to add chemicals when they had all night to do so. They were very unaccommodating and did not have their stuff together. The only person who I was happy with was the gentleman who was running the morning breakfast.

Relaxing, clean and friendly

Reviewed By samgH2146DB

We had a relaxing visit at the JW. It was very clean (around the building, lobby, restaurant, and room). All staff members are very friendly and want to accommodate guests. What could make it better? The pool is no longer open. And there is limited outdoor seating in one restaurant (looks like they had a great outdoor space at one time that would be great now with more people wanting to be outside).

Average property with excellent staff

Reviewed By Carl B

I stayed at this property for 1 night while attending an industry conference at the convention center in a single King room PROS • Great customer service. Javi did an excellent job • Good bed, pillows and linens • Convenient to Convention Center. Good location • 49” LG TV • Cube fridge and microwave, but it looks like an afterthought CONS • This is a LOUD property. Noise from road is substantial. Light sleepers beware • Small room by todays standards • Expensive parking and complicated underground parking “network” • Nearby construction adds to noise • Breakfast was average to slightly below average • Did I mention it’s loud? Overall, I would give this property an 80/100 and an 85/100 for value. Good service helps this property immensely. Without it, I would score this property much lower.
