Business Meeting
Stayed at this establishment for two nights, Aug 22-23, 2012. I travel often for work, but this was my first time in Indy. The hotel is located about 15 minutes from the Airport, and is in downtown Indy on the Monument Circle. The view from the hotel ground and several floors were pretty nice. The pros: members only, so it's not entirely open to the public. higher end catering to high end clients. Staff is friendly and the price of the stay was very reasonable. Lobby is also very nice, classic yet sophisticated. Offers add on's such as barber shop, shoe shop etc. Bar staff was great, super friendly, and remembered drink orders upon arriving at the bar the second night.
The cons: food wasn't that great (lunch only), the hotel room itself wasn't all that nice. Carpet was older, bed was ok in comfort, bathroom was outdated, and even the simple ironing board and iron could be updated (probably 15 years old)!
As I mentioned, the hotel room rate was very fair, the service was great, the hotel has a great history and feel, it's in a great location, and the room wasn't excellent. I've seen better in terms of room at the larger "chain" hotels, but the look and feel is some of the best i've seen. I'd rate this average.
