Top Indiana State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel was midway through a renovation with minimal disruption. Bar staff were awesome. Food was good."

Omni Severin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely hotel! Perfect walking distance to Lucas Oil Stadium. Very comfortable bed and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Cafe and bar downstairs were an added bonus. My husband and I will definitely stay again in the future!"

Ironworks Hotel Indy

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are all unique, artfully furnished, and very clean. The staff at the desk as well as the doorman/valet were super friendly and welcoming. We loved having breakfast at Rise as well."

Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown Across from Circle Centre

10/10 Excellent

"I had been promised an 8AM check-in over the phone by someone who clearly felt that this was the next crews problem. Showed up after my flight before 6AM and the front desk crew were understandably annoyed with whomever made the promise. The Colts and the Hoosiers were playing at home that weekend. The only vacancies they had at the time were out of service rooms. My only option was to sit in the lobby until the 3pm check in. Staff offered me water and breakfast, which I declined and did my best to have a good attitude. I’d been awake 24 hours by the time of my arrival and I do not have great emotional regulation on inadequate sleep. At hour 28-29, I was surrounded by approximately 1,000 teenagers in town for a band competition who were very energetic and excited. I enjoyed their enthusiasm and a chaperone remarked that I was “unflappable”. I was strong and most importantly, I was not unkind. Then it happened. An adult with the teenagers rented rooms for their bus drivers who had previously been sleeping on the busses. She even had goody bags for them. Y’all, I lost it. It was so sweet and I was weak. I began to ugly cry as quietly as I could. Just then, I hear “Miss Belinda?”. The manager had rearranged reservations to get me into a room 4 hours early. She was obviously concerned for my wellbeing as I came to the desk. I reassured her that I just needed sleep. She encouraged me to get some rest and let her know if I needed absolutely anything. The best."

Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast at the bistro was delicious."

Looking Glass Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant stay in a great area in Indy. Easy access to fun activities, accessibility to the room was straightforward and convenient. This was a fantastic option for being close to downtown Indy"

Old Northside Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff!"

Stone Soup Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I love the Stone Soup Inn! We stay every October as part of our anniversary road trip from Chicago and we absolutely love the lofted rooms, hospitality and friendliness of the staff, and location in Indianapolis. See you next year!"
