Top Central Indiana Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Plainfield/ Indianapolis Arpt Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great simple place! Well kept and clean"

The Fontana Hotel

8/10 Good

"The outside of this place definitely looks crazy I expected the inside to look the same, but was very surprised the inside was pretty nice and clean. The only downsides to my stay was the fact that my AC did not work, so it was hot in my room and the only accommodation I was offered was a box fan that I had to ask for in the middle of the night, the next morning when I had to extend my stay I was offered after bringing it up to switch rooms but at that point I was already leaving the next morning so that wouldn’t have made it sense. With it being so hot in my room it made it hard for me to get ready or even be as comfortable as I would’ve been with AC. Another downside would be the location of my room it was pretty hard to find the inside I of the hotel is a little confusing it only had 2 floor and one elevator but to get to the elevator it seems like you have to walk a mile. Also just so you are aware the room does not have a microwave! There is one in the lobby but again you have to walk a mile and half just to get to the lobby lol. Overall decent hotel and decent price (staff was also friendly) I would stay here again if I was accommodated properly."
