Embassy Suites Indianapolis - Downtown

Our business brought us to town for a tradeshow at the convention center and we wanted a hotel within walking distance. Don't be fooled. This hotel is not on street level, you have to walk up several steps just to get inside and then go up another escalator to the lobby. Not convienent when traveling with any kind of luggage or wheeled laptop bags. Once inside, the elevators took forever, often there was a wait of 5 minutes or more. Inside the room, there were stains on the towels and the shower curtain. There were numerous cracks in the sink that had been poorly covered up with caulk. There was a mysterious brownish/reddish stain on the shower wall. The TV had poor reception and the walls were so thin you can hear people caughing and passing gas next door. The first night of the stay the temp outside had dropped unseasonably low, but there was no heat on in the room. The HVAC is controlled by the hotel in May and October so there is nothing the guest can do about it. I called down to the front desk to complain about the cold, and they offered to send up a space heater to my room. I had to use it for all 3 days I stayed there. This hotel is definitely not worth the price, I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for it. The Motel 6 would have been a better choice.

2 year annivarsery with my girlfriend. Had planned a special evening to pop the big question, some place else, but asked for a nice room with a good view 2 months early. They gave me a room with nothing but a brick wall and some industrial air vents below. The staff was rude. No room service until 4 or 5. The night was great and the hotel experience was awful!!!!!!!! I will never stay at an embassy suites again.

I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE BIG 10 TOURNMENT WITH MY HUSBAND. WE STAYED HERE AND LOVED IT. WE HAVE STAYED AT QUITE A FEW HOTELS, BUT I RECOMMEND THIS ONE AS ONE OF THE BEST. THE HOTEL WAS SPOTLESS, THE STAFF COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER TO US, THE ROOM WAS GREAT, AND THE BREAKFAST THEY GIVE YOU WAS WONDERFUL. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ?, WHO HELPED US WITH OUR TICKETS FOR THE GAME. WE HAD GREAT SEATS AND HE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ""PRINCESS"" IN THE DINING ROOM FOR BEING SO GRACIOUS AND KIND TO US. I CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK THERE TO STAY AGAIN. YOU WILL LOVE IT TO!!!!

I found the front desk service to be first rate. The TV menu with the remote was hard to navigate between TV stations. The in-room coffee maker should have included with its instructions that the filter was in with the coffee packet. The breakfast was great. Scrambled eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, omelets, coffee, as well as apple, orange, and cranberry juice. Even hot syrup. I had a two room suite. I thought the price was $ per night but the tax broght up the real price to $. Ouch!

Type:Dining Distance: Short walk from hotel

Eating cheap

The cheapest place we found to eat was J. Gumbo's, a cajun place. For two people, with two entrees apiece plus dessert, (with an international beer selection) the meal came to $30. We ate there twice and would eat there again.

We had a terrible experience with this hotel. We checked in on Friday night to a suite that was over 90 degrees and had non-working air conditioning. We spoke with the front desk the next day and were told that it would be fixed or our room would be moved. After 24 hours, the room just got hotter and hotter and we did not see anyone check the AC. At that time, we were told they were "sold out" and there was one room available. Our room was moved from the 16th floor to the 9th floor, which was cooler, but only had one bed, which meant our family of four had to share a bed or sleep on the floor. It was disasterous and effected the quality of our overall trip since we were traveling with children that did not sleep well. Upon returning home, we noticed that our bank account had been charged for 2 extra charges, that did not appear on the check out bill. We have placed 2 calls to the accounting department as directed by the front desk, with no resolution thus far. We would never stay at this hotel again (and probably any Embassy Suites as well) due to this experience.
