Top Indianapolis Zoo Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Parking included in their lot which was hard to find in downtown Indianapolis. Plus Jackqueln was very helpful in giving us advice about walking around the area and how to get to the fieldhouse and restaurants. Definitely would stay there again."

Holiday Inn Indianapolis Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I went to Indianapolis for the weekend to attend the Colts football game that weekend. The hotel is directly across from Lucas Oil stadium, and we didn’t have to worry about parking because we had access to the hotel’s parking garage. Staff was fantastic and accommodating, and made our stay amazing. Room was large, and clean, and crew that managed our floor was outstanding, and kept us maintained with clean linen throughout our stay. We will definitely return for a visit! 5-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay!"

Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown IUPUI

"Fantastic stay from start to finish. The hotel is modern, stylish, and boasts great facilities and amenities. The location is unbeatable, near downtown and Colts stadium, making it easy to get around. Special shoutout to the staff for their exceptional service, and the breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again! As a reference, we were there for the Indianapolis Marathon."
