    Suite on top floor
    Brittany S.

    I've always wanted to play tourist in my own city and this past week I finally had the opportunity thanks to hosting a summit gathering for my team at Nestle Inn. From booking (nearly) the entire Inn to having the morning croissants and quiche delivered by Coat Check Coffee down the street, the process was seamless. Nestle Inn has been on my Indy bucket list for quite some time. Located less than a block off Mass Ave, this cozy bed and breakfast is within arms reach of TONS of local eateries and shops. On top of the Mass Ave amenities, you're leasing than a mile from the heart of downtown, Monument Circle and the Wholesale District. A perfect stroll up Mass Ave and you're there. I had the pleasure of experiencing the top floor mini apartment that offers a small side room with two twin beds (great for bachelorette parties). The rooms are well decorated and clean. Mini kitchen and two entrances to the bathroom are available in this room. I cannot recommend the Inn for team retreats enough. Note that they also offer cooking classes...and leopard robes...and easy/free street and private lot parking less than a block away. Insider tip: Check in on Yelp for ten percent off your room! The cherry on top? Lesa, the marvelous owner.

    Food of New Orleans cooking class

    This review is for a cooking class I attended; I didn't stay overnight, but will definitely be keeping The Nestle Inn in mind the next time someone asks about lodging options downtown! The theme of the class was the Foods of New Orleans; the menu included crawfish etouffee, shrimp po boys, and beignets. The experience was very much like hanging out in a friend's kitchen (a friend who is a great cook mind you...), chatting with them while they cook, and pitching in as needed; in other words, very relaxed and informal! Leesa, the owner was a great host, and had the fun task of keeping up with the dishes! Chef Anna was a great instructor, and selected recipes that I really feel like are realistic for all of us to make at home! We learned a lot about cooking techniques, and came away with some new skills and great recipes! The class ends with eating of course! We were able to enjoy the creations in the dining room of the Inn; the tables were decorated for Mardi Gras which was a nice touch! All of the dishes were delicious! I can't wait to try the recipes out at home!

    This isn't a Hilton, an Airbnb, or boutique hotel. It's something so much more. Don't walk in and expect to see the most updated furniture or a big screen TV. Walk in and expect to feel like you just walked into your Grandma's house and you're about to get spoiled for a weekend. After a long day of training, walking in the door and being greeted by a small tray of butter bars, however small a detail, felt so personal and thoughtful. Each morning I woke, I could smell the coffee brewing on the small table right outside my room. I could open the door, pour myself a cup and snag a piece of the dark chocolate sitting in a small glass container next to the coffee. There's something so simple and so authentic about Nestle inn that makes it an asset to Indianapolis. These are the kind of personal touches that you'll never get in a hotel. If you want to stay somewhere with less flash and more charm, look no further.

    There are SOOOO many pros to staying at the Nestle Inn, so let's get started. 1) Centrally located, and has decent amount of street parking nearby. Drop your car, your stuff, and walk to explore all things Indy! 2) Are you like me and afraid of B & B's with old pink dust ruffles and a collection of weird salt and pepper shakers shaped like animals starting at you? This is NOTHING like that -- it looks like it's straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie! You know - It's Complicated, the Holiday, Something's Gotta Give. No you don't know? Ok let me explain it... it's a HUGE historic home that has recently been renovated and turned into a contemporary B & B with a beautiful soothing color palate of greys and whites. Straight up cathartic. (PS the Christmas decor is up right now and it is also GORG!) 3) The owner is very accommodating. We were staying for a mini conference and she arranged for everything we needed to feel comfortable AND productive. The kitchen island was especially fun to sit around for meetings and a team bonding game night. 4) My room was HUGE and comfy. A clawfoot tub AND a little fireplace? #Winning! Gah - take me back to when this was a thing in every house. I loved the warmth and the crackling of the little fire as I went to bed. It was so relaxing. Overall, the Nestle Inn manages to be cozy and contemporary with modern amenities - which is what I personally look for in a B & B. Look no further, your decision is made.

    Beautiful kitchen with a giant island!

    I was visiting Indy for a couple of days due to a work conference and I was put up in this adorable bed and breakfast for my stay. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by how rustic and cozy the place was, literally from the moment I walked in the door! Once I made my way through downtown Indy, I eventually found a free parking spot out front, introduced myself to the innkeeper, and got my keys. Now, I arrived a short while before checkout so the staff held my belongings and secured them in my room until I returned later that evening. I was staying on the very top floor, suite six I do believe. It ended up being almost like a mini apartment settled on the third floor of the Inn. You walk up the stairs to find a giant king sized bed. It had a TV mounted on the wall, bedside tables, and tons (I mean TONS) of space. There was a bathroom, of course. It had a tall shower and a bathtub. There was even a kitchen with all of your expected necessities. There was a dining table and lounge area with a couch, coffee table and everything! I was really blown away by how comfortable the room was. It was so big and cozy! I also really enjoyed looking out the big windows to see a little bit of Indy. Oh - there was also a side room attached. It had two twin beds and a separate entrance, although it did share the bathroom. Two of my coworkers stayed in there for the night and I never heard a peep out of them. During the day my coworkers and I spent a lot of time in the spacious and lovely kitchen area. We had breakfast catered from a local restaurant, sipped on hazelnut coffee, and cranked out a bunch of work. Overall, this was the perfect place to stay for a night in Indy. Our hosts were so very friendly and the inn provided everything I needed to have an enjoyable time. If I find myself back in the state again, I'd be happy to book another room!

    I just got back from a quick overnight trip to Indianapolis, my first time there. The Nestle Inn was exactly what I wanted and for a price that was more reasonable than the downtown hotels. Located in the hear of the Mass Ave theater & arts district, it is just one short block to theaters, shopping, bars, restaurants and only a few feet to the coffee shop next door. I went with a girlfriend so we stayed in the suite which had a king bed plus a daybed in the sitting room. I've only stayed at a couple of B&Bs before, but I've tried to find them with 2 beds in a room before and it is rare...and the few times I did the prices were way too high. The Nestle in has great prices, lots of space in the suite and in the several public sitting areas. With 5 rooms (and a 6th on the way) and the owners living in the carriage house behind the Inn, it really did feel like we were coming home after an evening on Mass Ave. We barely saw anyone else during our short stay (Sunday afternoon to Monday morning) but everyone we met was very friendly. The owner, Leesa, was friendly and warm, but also quietly disappeared to give you privacy when you weren't needing her for something. We didn't get the chance to try out the weekend breakfast...what a shame. It sounded really good. That said, we liked having a $10 voucher for breakfast...or anything we wanted...at the coffee shop next door. I ate a full breakfast, but my friend wasn't hungry and grabbed a sandwich to go for lunch. As a relative novice at B&Bs (this was my 3rd one), this was my very best experience to date. I would highly recommend Nestle Inn for business travelers (free wifi everywhere, easy weekday breakfast on your schedule), group things (retreats, girls weekend, family vacations), couples or friends. If you've never stayed at a B&B and are a tad uncomfortable about the idea...the Nestle Inn will win you over! I've written a full post with pictures, more details and a video interview of Leesa on my website, Future Expat. http://futureexpat.com/2013/02/indianapolis-road-trip-mass-ave-and-nestle-inn/

    A quaint, homey B&B - it literally is a converted private home, and I believe the owners still reside somewhere on premises? Depending on one's preferences and tastes. .. Great location if you don't need to be in the heart of downtown, it's right across the street from a great restaurant (Union50) and some decent "neighborhood places" that are fine but wouldn't be "destination restaurants" I was in room 1, the only room on the first floor. Don't know how the rooms upstairs are. Wooden floor was creaky - didn't bother me much but I can imagine for some. .. Shower tub with ring hung pull curtain - nothing bad, nothing great but water pressure was a little on the weak side. Bath towels on the small side. .. Come and go as you please - front door auto locks and is numeric keypad accessed, traditional key for your room. NOTE: room door does NOT autolock! You have to use key to throw deadbolt. BEWARE! The brief encounter one morning with owner / innkeeper was pleasant, I never saw anyone else the rest of my trip, though I could hear people leaving in the morning. Not obnoxious but definitely would wake you up if trying to sleep in. If you like this sort of place, and very eclectic antique shop mixed style and period decor, it makes for an interesting choice.

    First things first. This place is a bundle of cozy, home-away-from-home, cuteness. The bed! The pillows! The microfiber comforter! This place is well equipped to deliver a comfy-night's beauty rest. Bonus perks that made me sleep like a baby in my own bed? My room was stocked with a fan and space heater. As a picky sleeper who likes to have white noise when I sleep, the small fan was perfect. A beautiful and well cared for victorian home, complete with cast iron stained glass windows - incredibly beautiful, especially in the morning light. I was in room number one, which can be a little noisy when other guests are returning at night and a again in the morning when guests are going up and down the stairs. If you plan to sleep in I recommend opting for one of the bedrooms on the upper floor.

    My wife and I stayed here July 22, 2012. Perfect for a Lyle Lovett concert at the Murat Theater. This place is gorgeous, very friendly greeting, beautiful woodwork in a nicely furnished old home. The Air conditioning was working well on a 96 degree night, the cable TV and wireless internet were flawless, the parking is easy, the neighborhood is nice. We will always recommend this place for Murat Theater events and anything else in Indianapolis. Coffee, biscotti, soft drinks, all available and complimentary. (By the way, we had an excellent meal at the Bosphorus (Turkish) Restaurant 1.7 miles south of the Nestle Inn.)

    Our quaint and super clean room.

    My husband surprised me with a honeymoon in Chicago with a stop at The Nestle Inn in Indy on our way. Leesa greeted us with a warm welcome and recommended fun stops along Mass Ave. The rooms were incredibly clean and had wonderful details included like robes and makeup remover. We loved it and hope to be back one day! Thanks, Leesa!

    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.

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!

Slept oddly while we were there and any time I scooted to the edge of the bed, the natural curvature of the dip would roll me back to the center. Some nights were better than others. I figured we were just there temporarily so we didn't want to bother moving to another room. The shower head could probably use a bit extra water pressure but that can also be subjective too. Overall, our unit was cozy and quiet. The elevator itself was super quick each time we returned to the hotel so that's a plus. On the flip side, whoever ran the bar both nights deserves a raise. They hustled like crazy last Friday and Saturday night while we got to know some new friends. I never got names but it was certainly a solid experience. Great pours of wine, excellent drinks and beers were frosty! We chatted with some of the in-laws and they said the AirBnb units were amazing so next time we may gravitate towards that if those units are available! Super solid experience with some minor hiccups. I would still recommend the stay. The hotel itself is a hop, skip and a jump from the Monon trail and a quick jaunt to Java House. Everything is super close!
