Pros:

The property was conveniently located within walking Distance to Lucas Oil, which was the reason for our stay. Such a nice place, the history of it, the trains, all of it, was wonderful.

Cons:

Parking, was rather slim to none. But parked in a parking garage literally right down the street.

Perfect location, kind staff, and absolutely comfortable accommodations!
Pros:

Being inside an old train station remodeled into a hotel was beautiful! Such a fun place! And even though it was sold out, there was very little traffic in the hotel and I didn’t hear a peep anywhere while in my room.

Cons:

The construction was confusing but the email with specific directions on how to get to the valet was just in time! This place will be incredible once the construction is complete on the outside and will finally match the inside!

Cool place! Great location and awesome staff!
Pros:

This was such a cool place to stay, and since we were going to the Morgan Wallen concert at Lucas old Stadium, it was totally easy and within walking distance to our venue. The staff was super friendly and helpful and give us directions. We needed in order to walk out and head straight to our concert. Best Mother’s Day ever and will definitely revisit this place again.

It met my needs.
Pros:

Liked · The nice young men helping were outstanding, very patient and accommodating to the guest. I drove and I was allowed to leave my car and not rushed to move it. I was able to unload my car, register and take my luggage and to my room.

I liked my room. I had a king size bed on the first floor. I did like the train decor. I also liked it was only three floors high, in case of emergency, i.e fire, ambulance and other unexpected evacuations.

The shower, however, was very nice!

The food was great at the restaurant and I thought it was priced reasonably and they had plenty of seating. I had lunch. There were also restaurants within walking distance.

Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel and service. I just felt it was too far to walk to get to the convention center if you had mobility issues.

The bathroom was nice but a little tight. The door and the toilet were very close and the toilet was very low. Even for me and I am a little over 5'. As for amenities, they were scarce. There was no bottled water. only lotion, and hand soap, etc. in dispensers.

Cons:

Housekeeping did missed a spot vacuuming. There was some kind of casino chip left under a piece of furniture.

The bridge connecting the hotel to the convention center was nice but very far from where I needed to be. There were no other people walking with me, to or from the convention center back to my room, but I did feel safe.

The bathroom was nice but a little tight. The door and the toilet were very close and the toilet was very low. Even for me and I am a little over 5'. As for amenities, they were scarce. There was no bottled water. only lotion, and hand soap, etc. in dispensers.
