I gave this location 2 stars because they seem to be trying. The staff was always very helpful and attentive. The lobby and meeting rooms were nice. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had a microwave, refrigerator, and coffeemaker. I attended a seminar for two days and they did keep us well fed throughout the day. (The only... More

When you get to this hotel, the first thing I notice is that parking lot is crumbling with huge pot holes and there are a bunch of them. The entrance is not well marked. Once you find the entrance, the first thing I noticed is they ask you to give your Trip Advisor rating. They even have cards to take... More

The staff was fantastic, friendly, helpful and fun to be around. They made a business trip pleasant and comfortable. They do everything to make our students feel at home and enjoy being in Indianapolis. A special thanks to all of the employees for all of their hard work and smiles. They are working on updating the rooms. Great place to... More

First of all, the prices for rooms at this hotel are amazing. That should be a sign. My understanding is that they are slowly remodeling the hotel. I would recommend they take some financial risk and just finish the remodel, and increase prices slightly. It would help them out, I think. My room had not been remodeled. The TV got... More

I got a pretty decent price on the room, but the property is dated and the cable kept going out. The mattress needs replaced and carpet was clean but quite worn. This one is like a friendly old guy you are comfortable hanging around with for a beer - but would never recommend your sister date. If the price is... More

The Lily Conference Center that is attached to the hotel is very state of the art and great for large groups. The attached hotel, not so much. From my understanding, this hotel used to be, and still may be part of St. Vincent's hospital next door, for family that need a place to stay while a loved one is in... More

I stayed overnight to attend a conference. The room was extremely outadated, like walking into 1970. While clean, the sheets were stained. The shower head was lose in the wall. The vanity was stained and had a huge piece of the laminate missing. The bathroom was not overly clean. All the rooms are non smoking, but it reeked of older... More

Went to a class here for 4 days. My room was standard and the staff was friendly. We were overcharged for breakfast in the 1881 grill 2 days in a row by the kitchen manager. What was supposed to be a 6 dollar tab, we were charged 10 bucks. Don't know what that was all about, as the breakfast was... More

Stayed for a business meeting. The meeting space, staff, and food were fine. The hotel is older, and is being updated. Three helpful things to consider: The taxi from airport was almost $70.00. The hotel has a flat rate agreement with Best Cab (317-248-8888) for $40.00 The hotel is very spread out. If you have trouble walking, make sure to... More

I made a return trip to the Marten House for a meeting and was anticipating a fully renovated property due to the addition of the Lilly name to the name of the property. It was a disappointing experience. The place is maybe a two star property at best. While some public areas are updated, the rooms are pretty much the... More
