I really loved this place. It was a little odd at first. We arrived about 11pm and the street was packed with lots of happy people for the Friday night Swing Dance on the top floor of the building. I needed a place to park, someone pulled out. Good. But, where to go? The sign is small. The entrance is tight. And we saw that the 4th floor had bowling! But, we reached the manager, and she and another woman came to help us unload our car from a very long day drive. After we got a tutorial on how the elevator is private for the lodging guests, we went up to the room. It was so cute. And in the morning I checked out other rooms and it seems each is different. They are all decorated in an awesome way.

It took a while to get used to using a special key for the elevator.

Unique historic building in the heart of a great Indy neighborhood. HiFi Lounge music venue just across the street. Great surrounding restaurants and a secret speakeasy downstairs with wonderful cocktails. Easy street parking. Even tried the duckpin bowling alley upstairs. Rooftop bar has a great view.

There was a slight rumble from the duckpin bowling lanes directly above at certain times. Sounded kind of like distant thunder. Quickly fades into the background once you know what it is. Our room was a couple floors above the street-level bar which has outside tables. Jovial bar guests could be overheard at points.

We only encountered one employee, but he was friendly and helpful about directions for operating the elevator, etc. The building is very old but has a ton of charm/character. Having a sitting room was nice and the efficiency kitchen was lovely.

The mattress needs replacing in 308. The sitting room didn’t have AC, and I felt cranking the units in the other rooms to make up for it, but that’s minor. The biggest concern for me was the loudness of the street. Not the facility’s fault, but my God, it was so loud outside til at least 3, and then there were people scream-laughing again at 6 am. Again, not the facility’s fault, but I could have used a warning about the street noise. A similarly located hotel I’ve stayed in before literally provided ear plugs. That might be an idea.

A very nice historic property in the heart of Fountain Square! We had the King Studio which was gigantic for a hotel room, the bathroom alone was bigger than most properties I've stayed in while visiting NYC. We enjoyed all of the historical details from the old elevators to the two duckpin bowling alleys in the building (sadly both were closed for the evening we were there). There are plenty of fun options in the building and if we had had more time in Indy, we would have enjoyed the rooftop and street side bar - we'll save all of the above for next time.

Some street noise coming from the bar a few floors down but that didn't really affect our positive experience.

Great location! So many fun and unique things to do and see within walking distance. We are already talking about going back! We didn't realize all the cool things we could do when we got there. Vintage duck bowling in the basement, restaurants, bars...were all right there in the hotel. It felt very safe, was clean, had the best hotel bathroom I have ever seen.

All the instructions and keys/passcodes were kind of overwhelming at first. Also had to wait in the lobby a bit to get the keys-but that is only because the one person that was in charge of it also had to man the bowling alley. She gave great tips on the area though and was also very knowledgeable about the hotel. Very fun to talk to.

Great communication. Due to weather, we ended up arriving later than planned. Didn’t seem to be a problem. Following the instructions that were given to us. We found a very clean and comfortable space with a large bathroom cute kitchenette. The bowling alley upstairs didn’t bother us. They stopped playing at 10:30 during the weekdays and midnight on the weekends. It was such a great area to stay in. The building itself had so much to offer. Bar downstairs rooftop bar upstairs and the bowling alley. We did it all!

I loved the artsy vibe of Fountain Square, and the fact the hotel is in a listed historic property. There were ample restaurants. It's right on the Cultural Trail, and it was an easy walk to and from the train station. Sadly, Amtrak doesn't directly serve Indianapolis anymore, but you can still book transport through Amtrak, which has its perks.

The hotel is above a bar, so there was a level of noise from other guests and the music downstairs, but I did not consider that a ding against the hotel. I thought it was funny that the bathroom was where the windows were. It was a spacious bathroom, so I spent a lot of time in there, grateful for the chair so I could look out the window.

Location. Neat atmosphere. Has a speak easy, bowling alley, and rooftop bar. Went to the rooftop bar after a concert and it had music, cold drinks and a taco bar (which was great!)

Bed. Mattress needs replaced. It sinks in the middle. Seems to slant towards your head also (room 308). Parking is challenging. TIP: Save yourself the headache. Park at the Goodwill- it's on the map they give you. It is the easiest to find and 1 block away.

The perfect location in Fountain Square within walking distance to literally everything this up and coming art and theater community has to offer! Located on the 3rd floor, the elevator has keyed access to keep non guests out of the hotel. Keypad entry into the ground floor after hours for additional safety. Free laundry facilities and unwieldy appointed rooms that feel more like you are staying in someone’s home than a hotel. Very comfortable accommodations with every amenity that you may need including a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and toiletries. Beautiful historical building with 2 duckpin bowling alleys! Italian restaurant on the first floor.

Make sure you have the after hours contact number as there is no front desk. The office is only open bankers hours, so if you need anything you will need to contact the after hours number. That said, all of our needs were quickly and graciously met!

We had a large, comfortable room to relax in and it was a quick walk from the event we were in town for. The nostalgia of the building from the entrance to details in the room were very cool. We are very happy with our choice and would stay here again!

We did have to call ahead to give our arrival time so someone could meet as at the entrance and show us around. The woman that greeted us was very friendly and she walked us through everything we needed to know for access to the building and contact if needed during our stay. Calling ahead of arrival really helped but it added some rigidity to leisure time.
