Top hotels in West Indianapolis
Ironworks Hotel Indy
The decor was beautiful and unique. The room was spacious and clean. We really enjoyed our stay! They must have been under construction because it was loud with banging and other things from early in the morning. Very disruptive. Also, the room service was unavailable while we were there.
