Did not live up to expectations. Was not informed that room was overbooked until Thursday for Sat
Pros:

The room itself, even though it was not the one I originally booked was comfortable. The bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The food at the hotel was horrible. The food needs an upgrade ASAP

This hotel has a fun retro vibe and so much character."
Pros:

My husband and I decided to go away for a night and wanted to visit Nashville, Indiana. We wanted to use my husband's hotel points so we picked Hotel Indigo. Pros: super cute and comfy hotel. The room seemed huge because the ceilings are high. The shower is wonderful. The bed was comfortable and the couch was also comfortable. Cons: (and this is a big one) it was HOT in our room. The thermostat was set for 68 degrees. It never got under 75 degrees in our room. Now, it was super hot outside. Heat index of over 100 for the days we were there. I just don't think it was blue to keep up. But it made sleeping uncomfortable. The A/C, when it was running, was LOUD. Luckily we were supplied ear plugs. I don't think I would have been able to sleep without them. I absolutely would stay again but would do it when it's cooler outside.

Walking Distance to everything
Pros:

We were lucky to get one of the last available rooms for the night and were very pleased with the friendly service at check-in, check-out, and the hotel's cozy little bar. The hotel has a stylish, modern feel and is conveniently located just two miles off I-65 in Columbus' renowned architectural district.
Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Breakfast is not included, but several charming coffee shops and bakeries are within walking distance. Free parking is another plus.
We'd happily stay here again when traveling along I-65.

Pros:

Very good stay. Excelent accomodations, confortable beds and everything is very clean. Fast internet. Wonderful breakfast. Tripp, a bichon frise dog that is present at the reception desk is unique and complements the professional staff.

Nice enough hotel, but hair everywhere
Pros:

It’s a nice enough place. Nice bed. Cold air conditioner. Fan even worked when unit was off. But plagued by an all-too common problem. Hair everywhere in the bathroom. All over the shower, all over the bathroom floor. Without being too graphic, I’m sure some of it was not from housekeeping…

We would stay again…a lovely property.
Pros:

Proximity to downtown. Pool and hot tub. Decor

Cons:

We had a very noisy air conditioning unit that rattled and it made sleep difficult.

Loved Our Stay at Hotel Indigo!
Pros:

We chose to stay at the Hotel Indigo, Columbus because it's right downtown and within walking distance to sites and restaurants/bars/ice cream parlor. Parking is free/right behind the hotel. We did use our car sometimes due to the unexpected heat in early summer. BUT the hotel itself is more than convenient. It's comfortable, cute, clean and has such friendly staff which helps to add to making it a nice place to stay. It was a great choice for us.
