Beautiful place, but a big Roach in our room. October 1st. 2026. Poor response from hotel.

Kiara S.

I had came here for a conference. The staff here were very friendly. I will say despite it being a little mess due to them doing construction it wasn't too bad. The food was okay. I say okay because the pasta could've used some more sauce it was dry. It was also really cold inside here. I had to keep my winter coat on due to how cold it was. I can't say how the hotel rooms are because I didn't stay here.

Do not stay at this hotel!! I stayed here 2 different instances, a year apart. Both stays were a complete nightmare. They overbook and treat you like you're the problem. Some of the staff are pretty awesome, but unfortunately they do not make up for the incompetence of the rest. The manager at the front desk will lie to you and promise to compensate you for your troubles; and pretty much tell you whatever you want to hear just to get you to go away. The courtyard could be pretty cool, if it weren't such a mess. I will sleep on the street before I'd ever stay here again.

Gorgeous, gorgeous girls believe in collecting their Bonvoy rewards, so gorgeous, gorgeous girls book Marriott at all costs. I typically try and book a Mariott property closer to the city/airport but, given the one busy weekend of the Indiana calendar year (Indy 500) there weren't any rooms available. So I booked closer to the east side and stayed at Marriott East for 2 nights in Spring of '22. It's obviously outdated, giving all the Shining vibes, and was also hosting a youth Christian retreat so I heard trust falls and worship music deep into the night but, didn't mind. I was very impressed by the gentleman who checked me in, he went above and beyond to communicate hotel layout, basic parking instructions, and elevator access. The gym is truly tragic but, there is equipment in it and it does work. Is it Le Meridian downtown? No, but, it works and I'm now a few nights closer to Bonvoy glory.

Not mine. There upon check in

In town for a volleyball tournament and this location was the closest to the venue. Our team coordinator called 3 times to get a group rate, none of which were returned. Strike 1. We got to the hotel the night before to find a football clinic being held for high school football. The lobby/bar are was full of men drinking, to the point that conversations got so lively that the local police & sheriffs were called in later that night to break it up...in the lobby. Get to the room & find 1/2 a 2L of Dr Pepper in the room fridge...not mine. Strike 2. While sitting in the chair putting my shoes for dinner, I happen to look over and see a BOOGER on the wall!!! What!? With all the other options in the area, I will NOT be back!

It's so big with 3 hotels connected and large meeting halls in this Marriott center, sharing the garden, swimming pool and fitness. Marriott East is hotel not residence inn, upgrade suite for us, quite spacious and comfortable. Room is clean and well equipped, but elevator is old and slow. Lounge is quite small, but with good quality of food. Easy and free to park.

Customer service was on point. As soon as we checked in, any questions I had were answered. The room was clean and comfortable enough for me and my three daughters to have a girls weekend. There are. It many places in the bathroom to put towels and shower needs. I chose this hotel based on the location to the children's museum. However, The pricing is considerably higher compared to hotels on the same street. The pool area was nice but needed attention and cleaning. The tiles are extremely slippery. My littlest fell just standing and was hurt badly. The restaurant is convenient but the buffet is not included with your stay and is pricey to add on. I feel like it is more because it is an event location but I could be wrong.

Alright where to start. We visited this establishment a year ago, beautiful visit review on google. So here we are 2023 and a new review. In my integrity, I must be honest. 1. yes I still five star the Indianapolis Marriott East because there are still very good quality in this establishment. One being that the staff are extremely professional, friendly, assistive and courteous. 2. The parking lot, smoke area and entrance to lobby is well kept (Please don't complain about the debris that makes it into the lobby for it walks in with us). 3. Even though many complaints about the slowness of the elevator just keep in mind a fast elevator could become a problem the faster the elevator could burn a cord and you're stuck or will drop. So I see nothing wrong with slow movement of the elevator. 4. Alright I admit the rooms needs some work just like any dwelling over years of usage but if you the guest would inquire you would learn that the Indianapolis Marriott East is going soon under remodeling, trust you me the staff and management are aware of the issues that the establishment is going through. As a reviewer I do read others review but I don't solely base my choosing on others negative reviews those are the reviews that may bring me to checkout those establishments out myself because some complaints are truly isolated that only happens with the writer, I do believe with integrity as a reviewer we should be honest on an isolated situation and not ruin a business because of one or two that presents unprofessional behavior giving the establishment a chance to rectify and handle the employee/employees . But overall if the establishment still have good services and professionalism with other employees that should not be ruined. Now I will say that this morning we were startled by a extremely loud fire alarm sound and being the woman I am in my pj's and all I went to the desk to understand why? And learned that the Hotel was not the cause of the trigger it was the carelessness of Grunau Service Company so I do not hold indianapolis Marriott East. As an ex Loss Prevention Officer for Marriott properties the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel these incidents can happen do to the error of the companies hired to service any Hotels. So I don't hold Indianapolis Marriott East for today's scare. I am grateful for the excellent services we received from- Shahzad, Kolbi, Nate, Faith, Angel, Stacey, Mary Ritzer and Ed S the Gm. Their are many I wished I could have seen from last visit Diane, Jeff and many others whose names are on google review. Overall yes as a reviewer I still would return back to the Indianapolis Marriott East. And I still give this beautiful establishment a triple AAA+++.

See all

Check-in was a breeze, although a little delayed. We used our voucher to sit in the bar and have an amazing cocktail. The wait wasn't very long before the front desk came to find us and give us our room keys. We had an upper-level room with big windows that overlooked downtown. The room had high ceilings, a walk-in shower, beautiful amenities, and was very clean and very comfortable. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room, but there was nothing in our visit that stood out as something we were missing or that would have made us more comfortable. The bedding, the pillows, everything was great. Easy walk to the Gainbridge Field House. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Excellent place to stay. Check out was super easy. Just walk out and drop your cards in the box off elevators. We walked out to our car and drove away. My only concern is that the emailed folio with the total for the weekend was about $40 less than what was actually charged to my card. The charge to my card is only a hold, so when that payment settles, it should be the stated amount in the confirmation email.

The room was clean and provided excellent views of the area. I'd stay again.

Entry required being buzzed through locked double doors on both sides of the vestibule, which, rather than reassuring, reinforced the impression of a space struggling with control and upkeep. The parking situation immediately added confusion and frustration. We were first required to pay for parking associated with the Hilton property, and then instructed to move the car into a separate paid parking structure at an adjacent office building across the alley. What had been advertised as a straightforward $20 fee ultimately became nearly $100 in combined charges, with no clear guidance upfront. Inside, the details continued to accumulate. Hard and soft surfaces alike appeared dirty or worn. Linens were incomplete. Toiletry dispensers were broken, with no body wash or shampoo available. The air itself carried a stale, unsettled smell, as though prior occupancy issues had not been properly resolved. Individually these might be minor inconveniences; together they pointed to a pattern of ongoing neglect. Beyond the building, the surrounding area introduced additional concerns. Despite being advertised as airport-adjacent, the property is a considerable drive from the airport. The immediate vicinity included frequent loitering and panhandling, which may be uncomfortable or concerning for many travelers. Even basic amenities began to feel questionable in this context. Given the visible lack of maintenance throughout the property, we found ourselves uneasy about the cleanliness and safety of the breakfast offerings--especially frustrating given that our stay was prepaid and non-refundable. Only after experiencing all of this does it become clear that the issue is not a single oversight but a systemic failure in maintenance, transparency, and management oversight. Between the unexpected parking costs, the unsanitary conditions, and the misleading location description, the overall experience felt deeply misrepresented. It is worth emphasizing that the employees themselves were consistently professional and hardworking--some appeared to be carrying more than one role at a time. Their effort was evident and appreciated. Unfortunately, their diligence could not overcome the broader deficiencies of the facility.

When we got into the room. The staff was super accommodating and made sure that we removed a few doors down to a room that was smoke-free. Room was a good quality. Double beds. Shower okay, no bathtub. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker. The only downside about the coffee maker was that the universal coffee and plastic attachments did not go with the machine. It should have been a closed environment, but it was not. Once you inserted the plastic coffee filter and place the coffee filter pod into the maker, there was a gap, which led to splashing of the hot water onto the coffee filter pod that led to coffee Bean all over the desk. Breakfast every morning. Waffles, either scrambled eggs or pre-cooked omelette, pork sausage, chicken sausage. Golden potatoes, yogurt, fruit, various breads, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Pretty good size dining room as well. On the second floor. Second floor was also where the fitness center was. The floors were labeled with having vending machines on floors 4 and 7:00, but I could not find any. There was a snack area on the first floor where you could purchase snacks by scanning with self-checkout. Refrigerated items, frozen items, candy, chips, etc. The only thing the room really needed was a deep clean. Crevices and corners could have used some extra care and love. Outside of that, no complaints. Security key required to get into the hotel, as well as up the elevator.

If you don't wanna go anywhere in the morning, they did have a complimentary breakfast, but again it is so perfectly located between tons of great restaurants. My only knock was that the customer service experience at the desk was a bit different between the night staff and the morning stuff. The young woman who is working overnight, seemed very preoccupied and slightly annoyed when I had some pretty basic questions. This was completely contrasted by the young woman who was working in the morning. I saw her going above and beyond whether it was making sure the trash left for breakfast was taken care of or checking us out. Having worked in hospitality, I understand that anybody can have a bad night, but overall our stay was great and we would definitely recommend this place for anyone coming in town from one of the major events or anyone just looking to have a fun staycation.
