Thank you for the 4 stars! We are always happy to adjust the temperature. Please don't hesitate to ask. Old historic buildings aren't typically equipped with individual controls so we can adjust upon request.

We are so appreciative of your kind review! We couldn't have written it better ourselves. We love making our guests happy and the best compliment is repeat patronage. We will look forward to your next visit!

We are disheartened that this forum is used to disseminate inaccurate information. We would like to respond to and clear up misinformation. We are an historic bed and breakfast inn located in downtown Indianapolis. We have been serving 1000's and 1000's of guests for the last 18 years and have made them by far and away very happy. Our repeat patronage is quite high with some guests coming weekly, monthly and annually. As we are an inn, we ask our guests' arrival time so that we may properly greet them at the door. The guest who reviewed us here arrived 1.5 hours after his scheduled arrival and upon arrival didn't press the doorbell located at the front door. The front door is equipped with a video doorbell which allows us to talk to and respond quickly to guests who are arriving. We didn't receive any phone calls. Our innkeeper was at the inn but had no indication of anyone's arrival. At the time of check-in, the guest made it very clear that he was unhappy with a bed and breakfast for his overnight needs. He vocalized that he didn't want to stay and wanted to cancel his reservation. As our cancellation policy requires a 7 day advance notice in this case, we advised that the room would still need to be paid in full. The guest became very angry, left the inn and then returned saying he would use the room. The guest was shown to the Portrait Room which features a beautiful antique bedroom suite, Persian rug, private bath with claw foot tub and has a NEW queen size mattress. Access to the room is via a 'pocket door' not a 'barn door'. Weekdays a continental plus breakfast is served featuring - coffee, tea, OJ, cranberry juice, an assortment of breakfast breads, fruit, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, boiled eggs, cereal, milk, cream cheese, butter, jellies etc. Weekends a hot breakfast is served with all of the above options available as well.
