"You get what you pay for. The hotel staff was nice, but the room was in poor condition, and there was no battery in the smoke detector. The AC didn't cool the room. Nothing in the room was clean, and everything had a tacky feel. Don't stay here.2021-08-14"
"Our hotel room was clean but smelled like smoke, and it needed some maintenance. The carpet needed to be replaced, and the towel rack was falling off the wall. The employees were pleasant. OK for a short stay, but we won't be returning.2019-10-21"
"The hotel was like a home away from home. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I had a great stay.2018-10-07"
"The motel was tired. The room was inexpensive but uncomfortable. The bed was hard, the furniture was worn, and the smoke alarm was missing. The room smelled like something electrical had burned. We wouldn't stay here again.2021-04-29"
"The motel smelled like marijuana, and our room smelled like cheap air freshener. I didn't feel safe here; there was a sign on the door to use both the deadbolt and latch. The floor was dirty. No hand towels. The office had a sign that masks were required, but I didn't see any employees wearing them. 2021-04-07"
"The room wasn't clean. Don't stay here.2017-10-30"
"A no-frills hotel. Everything was generally clean. The room had a kitchenette, which was great for extended stays and saving money on meals. You'll need to pay for dishes and cookware, though. The staff was non-intrusive and polite.2021-08-10"
"Nice hotel and good value. Our room was clean and spacious. Our only complaint was that there was no one in the office when we tried to check in at 9:30 PM. We had to call someone and wait almost a half hour. There was no one to check us on Sunday morning.2021-06-28"
"Other guests smoked and made noise in the parking lot at 2 AM. Spend a little more and stay in a safer, quieter motel.2022-05-03"

"The room smelled terrible, the wireless Internet didn't work, and the staff was rude. My stay was a disaster. Find another motel.2015-10-23"
"Not a 5-star hotel, but it was inexpensive and adequate. It looked recently painted, and the carpet and furniture looked fairly new. The room was warm enough, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom fixtures were old and tarnished, but they worked well and nothing dripped. The front desk clerks were accommodating and friendly. Decent food area, and coffee was available.2019-03-24"
"This hotel was awful. No one wore masks or kept their distance. The room was bare-bones, and 2 lights didn't work properly. The pillow was terrible, and the shower curtain was torn. The hallway was cluttered with cleaning carts. People wandered around and sat in the hallways. Someone knocked on my door at 3 AM. The button in the elevator for the 4th floor didn't work. No ramp for the trolley to the street. Don't stay here.2021-04-27"
"You get what you pay for. The 1st room smelled like smoke, and the 2nd room had a moldy AC. There was no knob to turn it off, so we unplugged it and opened the window. No tissues provided, and the soap was hard as a rock. There were people fighting outside at 3 AM. Not a good neighborhood.2020-09-27"
"I was disappointed that my hotel room didn't have a fridge or microwave.2020-09-26"

"A no-frills hotel that's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's fine if you just need a clean bed. The room was clean, but the wand to close the curtains fell off. The side door was always unlocked, though it was supposed to require a key card for entry. Friendly staff and good breakfast. The elevator was out of service.2018-05-01"

Indianapolis is in central Indiana and the capital of the state. It is 75 miles east of Terre Haute and 120 miles southwest of Fort Wayne. It is the home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indiana University-Purdue University.
Hotels in downtown Indianapolis near Lucas Oil Stadium, the university, or other attractions, range from midscale to luxury and near the Indianapolis Airport from budget to upscale. Throughout the city you can find a wide range of hotels located near major highways, with swimming pools or many other amentities.
Indianapolis also plays host to the Indiana State Fair. The city features the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the largest museum of its kind in the world, and there are numerous museums and cultural
activities worth exploring.
Take in a baseball game at Victory Field or a football game at Lucas Oil Stadium and root for the local team. Or spend a day at White River State Park, where the Indianapolis Zoo, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, Indiana State Museum, and Victory Field are located in a vast green space.
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is a popular biking and walking path that connects this city's downtown districts, and it's a great way to get to know the city and see some public art. Locals and visitors also utilize the scenic Central Canal, where you're just as likely to see a gondola as a jogger.
Visitors with an interest in the Civil War will enjoy the Eli Lilly Civil War Museum, and there are a number of war monuments in the city as well.
I found the hotel descriptions at HotelGuides honest, whether they recommended a hotel or did not.
On place pages like this, we order hotels from lowest cost to highest – except we list low-rated hotels at the bottom of the page.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
