I'm already searching for an excuse to come back to Indianapolis so I can visit this beautiful…read morehouse again! My friend and I were in Indianapolis for a mutual friend's wedding, and we decided to stay at this bed and breakfast because it wasn't much more expensive than the hotel rooms we were looking at (where we would have to share a bed), and the reviews were phenomenal. We were both completely delighted with the place, and within minutes of being welcomed into the house by Debra were ready to move in permanently! I can't say much for the other rooms as we did not see them and I am of the understanding that they are all different, but we stayed in the Garden Room and it was fantastic. There are two rooms, a living area (with a sofa bed) and the bedroom, which has an incredible spa bath with jets... a.k.a. my personal paradise. Also included in the bath area are battery operated candles for ambiance and bath salts. I definitely took advantage of the bath salts. If you are staying in the Garden Room, definitely allot some time in your schedule to take a wonderful, relaxing bath. The room was great, but the experience itself was also unique and lovely. Each day you fill out a breakfast card for the next morning, indicating what time you would like to eat breakfast and any dietary preferences members of your party might have. The next morning, if you have turned in your card, you will be served a freshly cooked breakfast according to your preferences, alongside the other items (cereal, oatmeal, fruit, etc) which are still available to you if you neglected to turn in your breakfast card. There is also a little Keurig bar stocked with K cups available for you to brew. On the second floor is a sun room with comfortable chairs you are welcome to use to hang out in if you wish. In the same room is a shelf full of DVDs available for you to borrow and watch in your room. There is also a chest with snacks available to take such as Cheez-Its, Chex Mix, and Teddy Grahams. Soda cans are also available to take back to your room. On our last evening at the Harney House, we had a movie night in the room with some of these snacks. There was also a popcorn packet available in the room, on top of the microwave and mini fridge. As I discussed with Debra, the owner, bed and breakfasts really aren't for everyone... It's a different experience entirely from staying at a hotel and, in my opinion, it's just better. But if you want your basic, sterile hotel experience, this is not it. Debra and her family run an amazing business here, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

My future husband and I stayed at The Harney House Inn at the beginning of June. We absolutely…read moreloved the experience. We went away for the weekend for our dating anniversary of six years, and during that time we got engaged! Hooray! Anyway, we stayed in the Garden Room. It was amazing! The bed was super comfy. The spa tub was great. We watched a movie or two from their selection and snacked on some of the soda and treats that were provided in the common area. The area is great in general with lots to do, and it's just a short walk away from Massachusetts Avenue, a great street with a bunch of little shops and restaurants. The only thing that was even remotely out of perfection was the size of the shower. It was a pretty cramped, but if anything, it will be a funny memory of fumbling around like a doofus. Not a complaint, just an observation. :) Also, the towels made up for it! They were super plushy and soft. Breakfast was great, too! Sausage, eggs, some kind of apple coffe cake thing (I could have eaten the entire loaf), fruit, yogurt, a Keurig with a large variety of coffees and teas, cereal, toast, etc. All-in-all we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! Thank

Extremely unique! I'd definitely recommend this location if you've never stayed at an inn before!…read moreThis was my first trip there, and I'll definitely be coming back for future trips. If you're accustomed to staying at high-class hotels, this might not meet your expectations, but if you're a person who appreciates a nice home with unique details, you ought to try this one. Breakfast was amazing. We had quiche, fresh fruit, coffee, and orange juice, ready at 8am! Strangely, we were the only pair staying in a room that night. I've looked at this inn in the past and it has always been booked up! We stayed in the Victorian room, which was excellent, and I think we'll try for the craftsman room next!

Our stay was delightful and the staff members were very accommodating and friendly.

Special shout out to Pam and Yvonne for going above and beyond to ensure that we were ok. A special mention/ thanks to Dewayne, even though he is no longer an innkeeper there. We also liked the ability to get a bus to the transit center and to different areas. If there is a need for accommodation again, we won't hesitate to return to the Stone Soup Inn.

It didn't look too crappy on line but it's dated when you see it in real life. The location is great because you can get on the highway and be downtown or the track in minutes. The room was clean for the most part where it counts like the bath room, fridge, microwave. The beds and furniture showed no signs of bed bugs which I always check first in a room. This is not a high end room but I knew that going in and I wasn't using the amenities anyway so a lack of pool and anything else was not an issue, the fridge and microwave was all I needed. This is definitely not like the last room I got for the Vette museum but I wanted a higher end room for that experience, yes I book different rooms based on what my plans are and I'm kind of slumming with my nerd hobbies that I'm also doing. Traveling through vs staying in a room for a while wise and I'm realistically spending a few hours before sleep and leaving first thing so it did the job with an ok room, it's not a destination room for a vacation family and pretty pedestrian. I wouldn't stay here again because I like to stay at different places, the last time I was in Indy I stayed at a different name brand hotel and if I come back again it will be a different place also but I had no issues.

Weekend stay at the Alexander in downtown Indianapolis. We came into town for a special weekend and…read moreto see the Garth Brooks show on Saturday night. 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.

Took a group of 12 (8 teenage HS students ). Great location,…read morebut even better is the layout. You can see every room door from anywhere in the hotel. So easy to keep an eye on whether or not people (in this case, the teenagers) try to sneak out. Rooms are spacious and clean. Pillows are amazing. Gym is great. Breakfast was good! Lots of options! (Coffee is really yuk...go to the Coffee Shop on site instead). Staff not rude, but not really "nice" either. Kind of feel like an annoyance asking them questions or checking in a large group but not a dealbreaker. Evening bartender (Fri, 10/23) was pretty rude and snarky to most of the guests at the bar. Odd. Claypool Ice Cream and Coffee Shop on site, which was great! Also an Auntie Ann's and Cinnabon. Oh, and a Panera and a Bar style restaurant just down the escalators. Only issue really is the lack of security. Anyone can get into this hotel and go up the escalators or elevators and get to any floor. Two nights in a row I was awoken (2am-ish) by loud people talking/yelling in the hallway on my 11th floor. The way the hotel is designed (see pics), all of the workers should have heard anybody making all this noise, but they did nothing. When I tried to call the front desk, neither of the phones in my room worked. I tried pressing the Front desk button. I tried Manager button. I tried pressing zero. Nothing connected me to a human. I had to call from my cell phone . The guy at the front desk I really couldn't understand him to be honest. He sounded drunk, but maybe it was just a language barrier. He said he would send someone to check it out. But when I asked him how do I use the phone in my room if I need to call again, he seemed annoyed and said he would just tell a manager the next day that my phone wasn't working. At minimum I think the hotel needs to consider getting the elevators that will only go up if the person has a room card. Because it's literally a free-for-all in that place. Aside from the Security thing I really liked the place and I would definitely come back!
