Top Indianapolis Zoo Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Indianapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Close to downtown. Pretty decent hotel no complaints!"

Bottleworks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This art deco treasure is such a find. It's been beautifully restored. The staff was incredibly thoughtful, including upgrading me to a terrace room for free, because a wedding party had taken over the lower floors and they wanted to ensure I wasn't disturbed. My room was made up beautifully each day and I appreciated the free Nespresso in my room and complimentary sparkling water dispenser in the hallway. It's also located in a fun little district that has lots of dining & entertainment options, including a nearby running trail and convenient bus lines."

Staybridge Suites Indianapolis Downtown - Convention Center by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, except there were dirty dishes in the sink. (This room had a small kitchen). The staff was okay. Not overly friendly, just seemed really busy. The bed to me was uncomfortable, but it was because the mattress was too firm for my liking. That's just my personal taste though. The air conditioner/heater is very loud. The walls are thin, so you can hear people in other rooms. There is limited parking in the back. They will give you a parking pass that you have to take out to place in your windshield. I believe there is also garage parking, but I didn't need to use that. The location is EXCELLENT! Right next to Lucas Oil, and IU Indianapolis campus, and Riley Hospital, and IU Med, and Eskenazi. So, all and all it is worth it for the location alone. I would stay there again."
