Hotels in Indianapolisa historic, full-service mid-range hotel inside Union Station
8.1/10
Railway character and convention convenience, with construction complicating the arrival.
This historic, full-service mid-range hotel inside Union Station is a strong pick for conventions and stadium weekends. The enclosed convention-center skybridge and walkable access to Lucas Oil Stadium are practical advantages; authentic Pullman-car rooms give it more personality than a standard business hotel. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and helpful staff. The operator announced a renovation completed in October 2025, although some later guests still describe worn rooms.
The bigger drawback is construction around the neighboring Signia hotel and convention-center expansion: recent guests report awkward access, detours and sometimes noise. Ask for current arrival instructions before driving. Valet costs extra and spaces are limited; breakfast is generally extra, too. Crucially, the pool has been permanently removed, despite lingering listings suggesting otherwise. We'd skip it for a pool-focused family break or an uncomplicated, quiet getaway.

Best for: convention attendees; stadium weekends; railway enthusiasts
Watch out for: nearby construction and arrival detours; no swimming pool; paid, limited valet parking
Location: Enclosed skybridge to the convention center; easy stadium access, but surrounding construction complicates arrivals.
Rooms: Standard rooms and authentic Pullman-car options; comfort earns praise, though condition feedback remains mixed.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength in recent Expedia reviews, with similar praise on Tripadvisor and Trip.com.
Service: Helpful staff receive frequent praise, although complaint handling is less consistent.
Amenities: Two dining venues, fitness center and free Wi-Fi; the former pool is permanently gone.
Fees and surprises: Breakfast usually costs extra; paid valet is first-come, first-served, with public garages nearby.
