Tru By Hilton Indianapolis Downtown, IN
Nice hotel within walking distance of the venues we were interested in. Parking is adjacent to the hotel, breakfast was a typical full bar, staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean although a little small. Our needs were adequately met.

Omni Severin Hotel
I really enjoyed my stay at the Omni. The hotel is aesthetically pleasing (great for pictures) and very clean. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The food I had at 8 Notch, which is a breakfast/ lunch style restaurant downstairs, was good. I will definitely stay here in the future.
