Very impressed. Everything was clean from the lobby, eating area, workout room, pool and room. Greeted with a smile after a long trip when I checked in. Close to the airport and convenient location to many eateries. Was there for Bands Of America Grand Nationals and it was about 18 minutes to Lucas Oil Stadium. Would stay here again

I had a wonderful experience at the Sonesta Essential Indianapolis Airport. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable, and the beds made for a great night’s sleep. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay, which really made a difference. The hotel also has a nice pool and a well-equipped fitness room—both great for relaxing or getting a workout in. Breakfast was tasty with a good variety of options to start the day. Overall, an excellent stay. I would definitely return and recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through the area.

Staff was courteous and location was good. The room - and especially the bathroom - needed some better cleaning. But realistically? We will probably stay there again. We've stayed at several of the other hotels at that same exit and this was a lower price for about the same quality.
