Home2 Suites by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a great place to stay. My Only complaint is the breakfast and the pool. The pool was ice cold. The breakfast was constantly empty Of foods and it would take a long time to get filled up and they’d only then bring a couple of the item when there’d be a room full of people waiting. Was also disappointed in that someone with a gluten allergy wouldn’t be able to eat since items with gluten were in the same container as those not."
