4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

We had the queen parlor suite. For those interested, it is 2 rooms with no dividing wall or door between them. I prefer a closed off bedroom since we are on different schedules. The beds were clean and comfortable ( a 4 out of 5). The sofa and chair seating were very uncomfortable- but the living area was spacious and... More

This is the best Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were exceptionally clean. The beds were phenomenal. It is by far the best place to stay near the IU campus. More

I highly recommend this amazing hotel. It is close to several restaurants and has a snack shop so no messing with frustrating vending machines. The staff is courteous and accommodating, they will provide the absolute best customer service available. The amenities are well maintained and, quite frankly, amazing. The beds are so comfortable, I contemplated stuffing one in my suite... More

We stayed here for the Little 500 race. The hotel room was very comfortable and pleasing. The staff were all helpful and cheery. The breakfast was good - standard for these kinds of hotels. Overall we were very pleased with our stay here. Location is close to the university but far enough away that it is nice and quiet. Would... More

This property has an array of great amenities - we found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the room was well appointed and clean, the breakfast was very good - much much better than most hotel breakfasts! The bed, however, had the crinkle waterproof sheet on it which made it hot and noisy. There has got to be a... More

Stayed here for the USATF National Masters Track and Field Championships. I needed quiet and rest for the competition and got both. Julie Carter, sales coordinator, made the visit perfect. The bacon and egg breakfast gave me enough power to bring home my own first place medal. Thanks Holiday Inn Express. More
