Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff. We had a great stay.
Pros:

Nice, clean hotel. Friendly staff. The air conditioner was awesome! I like it cold when I sleep, and some places don't have very good air conditioners. It was nice and dark in my room, and quiet. Overall a great stay.

Cons:

We didn't use the breakfast since we had to pay extra for it. The location of this hotel was a little inconvenient. We had a conference at the Indy Conference Center and if we moved our vehicle, it was a LOT of extra to park closer. It was a little far for comfortable walking.

Pros:

Location was close to Lucas Oil Stady

Cons:

The employees at check in. Check in was supposed to be 3pm. Waited hours before they would check me in… causing me to miss out on an event I was supposed to attend. Male employee was very verbally abusive to female employee. And then male employee threatened the entire lobby of people that he was going to cancel everyone’s reservation. So unprofessional and made me very uncomfortable. This was unacceptable!

DO NOT STAY HERE!
Pros:

Waited over 45 minutes to check on only to find out our room wasn’t ready. Still not ready when we left four our concert and staff refused to give us an estimated time. Thank you Holiday Inn for making what was supposed to be a fun trip extremely stressful. Will always be staying at Hilton from now on. PS - spending over $1k for this mess!!

Pros:

Location is good and rooms are quite big.

Cons:

Breakfast was terrible, there was nothing to eat and everything was dirty.
There was no room cleaning service, during 6 night, they came only 2-3 times and changed only towels, not cleaning room and covering the bed.

Pros:

Clean, spacious rooms. Great AC. Friendly staff

Cons:

Very disorganized and understaffed breakfast bar. Poor girl was running herself ragged and completely unable to keep up. To no fault of her own. With a big event going on and it being a weekend morning, there should have been more hands on deck to ensure things were running smoothly


The restaurant staff the evening prior was rude and insisted they were out of everything in order to keep from cooking. They only wanted to sling drinks.

Overall stay was fine. Not spectacular, but for one night and the closeness to our location, it was good.
