Ironworks Hotel Indy

Ironworks Hotel Indy

10/10 Excellent
"Overall the hotel was amazing! Stayed two nights and my stay was fantastic. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had about the area that I had. Hotel was really beautiful and well themed as an old time ironworks place in the early 1900’s. My room was beautiful and nicer than I thought it would be. The area is ideal, really nice restaurants all around the hotel and the fashion mall is literally across the street with a lot of nice places to shop and eat. I had to travel to get to the convention center which was about 25min away and cost about $40 with tip on uber. My only two down points about the hotel is the bed was harder than a rock and it did not make for the greatest sleep. The other is there are no simple vending machines for basic snacks or drinks. They do have in room mini fridges stocked with drinks and snacks but prices are high for what they are. I would suggest bringing your own. Other than that I’d definitely go back to this hotel. It really made my stay in Indy better and more memorable."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary according to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so having flexible dates might help you save on your stay at an Indianapolis hotel. For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised service and potentially offer better value.
