Wonderful location, friendly staff, and clean. The elevator was broke,n which was not ideal, but I got my steps in! Hopefully, they have fixed the issue.
I stay at the Hotel Indigo in Five Points often and it's always a pleasant experience. The staff is helpful, the rooms are clean and cozy, and the area has a lot to offer. The only negative from this trip was that none of the ice makers on any of the floors were working, so I had to get ice from the bar. After jumping multiple floors (the elevator automatically returns to the lobby once you exit), what should've been a quick errand turned into 15 minutes just to get ice. It didn't deter my trip though and I still enjoyed my stay, and will return!
I loved this hotel nice clean room friendly staff, and the breakfast was amazing. And the breakfast to the room when booking you will not be disappointed
I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Indigo and have reservations there for a writers' group I'm bringing to town at the end of September. My absolute favorite part of the room was the shower which was a piece of heaven with the perfectly hot water and the lovely products plus it was sparkling clean. The location is also perfect for my group so close to good restaurants with something for everyone. The day I arrived, unfortunately the elevator was down for a while, but it was repaired shortly after. The bar is adorable and I can't wait to write there with my group! Great staff also. Helpful and friendly.

Decent gym, great staff, very clean, but age of building, calling for elevators buttons don’t work great. Must push button continuously till it lights up.

Neat experience in the older building. Was awakened multiple times each night by the locals racing their engines down the street. Lots of places to walk to for eating. HVAC controlled by the front desk was a little different.
We came just for an overnight. While we were grateful for a place to rest and to have our pups, the building could use a facelift and a good scrubbing. Parking was nearby which was good.
