Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The other advantage is that it is RIGHT in the middle of a whole bunch of things - Georgia Street, Monument Circle, etc.” 9
- “The Omni (at least the public areas of it) has that grand old hotel feel. The rooms have recently-ish been remodeled to look more modern, but they still have the "bones" of the antique style. The other advantage is that it is RIGHT in the middle of a whole bunch of things - Georgia Street, Monument Circle, etc.” 9
- “As far as breakfast options, I'd prefer the buffet at the Alexander - holy cow, it was amazing. I'm not a big breakfast person, but I tried to make myself become one for that one day.” 9
- “Platt 99 restaurant serves breakfast and the juicy steak at Nesso is a must try” 10
- “If you're in the mood for dinner, head downstairs to Cerulean. Their menu is always changing serving locally sourced produce and meats it is always a treat to see what they've come up with.” 8
- “If you're in the mood for a light dinner or late night snack, check out their menu. The ultimate grilled cheese (local cappicola, goat cheese, arugula, sriracha aoli) is killer.” 8
- “Conveniently located in the downtown area, close to important sites” 10
- “Location-wise, it's a little further away, but not a terrible walk (or a rather short drive).” 9
- “The location is ideal; close to Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil Stadium, Monument Circle, not to mention walking distance to my favorite brunch at Milktooth.” 8
- “The Alexander is quite trendy! (Oddly enough, I haven't stayed in any of the smaller rooms - I got put in a suite that was literally at the far back corner, facing the Lilly campus - but that was pretty amazing.) Very new, had a balcony and a kitchen.” 9
- “The rooms are bright and modern with pops of color here and there. Beware - the local goodies in the mini bar area are dangerously good!” 8
