The Fontana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t know the staff name that helped me, but they were young so helpful, kind, attentive and made me want to come back to this hotel. I at first seeing the building had every attention to get my money back and go somewhere else. I was met on Wednesday 08/19/26 evening by such a nice young lady and everyday after that until I left today 08/23/26 all the young adults made me feel heard and they went above the call of duty. Let me not end this review without saying two of the maintenance man from the Marriott next door went out there way to help me. The security man done his job making sure to drive around keeping us safe. The rooms were nice just needed some updates to the refrigerator that really don’t keep your food cold and my room door was not really secure. The latch on the door had the screws barely screwed in and the door was so hard to open. The bed linen could use replacing. But over all I come back the rooms were clean. Don’t let the outside fool it’s a nice hotel and staff the young adults was top tier."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis North

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Friendly bartender."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and very friendly staff. Location is very convenient. Loved our stay."
