Top Children's Museum of Indianapolis Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and updated. ALL the staff from Valet, to front desk, to the bartenders at The Bistro were super nice, friendly, and helpful. Parking is expensive at $40 a night and $50 for Valet. I did not eat the free breakfast so I cannot say how it tasted and what all was available. However, I did eat at The Bistro and the food was really good. I had the cheese burger one night and grilled chicken another. They have a small laundry area where you can wash and dry your clothes which is really nice if you're stay is long. I loved how close the hotel is to IU hospital if you have family or friends who are being treated there. Also, the Indianapolis Museum, and a Native American museum is right across the street and walking distance from the hotel. The Indianapolis Zoo is also very close by. My only complaint is how thin the walls are. You can hear loud conversations next door. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying in the downtown area as the price is very reasonable and it's also in a safe area."

Omni Severin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Even with a room mix up, everything was great! The staff was amazing."

Bottleworks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The deco and ambience are excellent. Rooms are spacious and beautiful!"

JW Marriott Indianapolis

10/10 Excellent

"f you are heading to a convention or looking for a central downtown base, this JW Marriott is an absolute home run. The location alone makes travel so effortless—having direct skywalk access straight to the convention center is a massive game-changer, saving so much time and hassle. The hospitality matches the convenience. The entire check-in staff was exceptionally warm and efficient, with a special shoutout to Patti for making the welcome feel genuinely personal and seamless. Everything you need is right on-site or just minutes away. Having a fantastic meal at the hotel restaurant after a long day was a huge perk, and the quick morning run to the Starbucks kept the energy high. When it’s time to explore, the central location makes grabbing a quick Uber to downtown’s best restaurants super easy."

Hyatt Regency Indianapolis

8/10 Good

"Nice property close to Gainbridge Arena. Safe area. Very clean. Rooms are a bit on the stark side but comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Valet parking a bit pricey but worth it for safety. Would return."
