JW Marriott Indianapolis

Great location to Lucas Stadium and Victory Field. The front desk was very helpful in setting up a late check in (passed midnight). The room is clean. Parking was a little tight (I drive a full size pick up) but it was manageable. The banquet halls are clean and the sound quality is great. Plenty of rooms for hosting events. Every staff person was helpful. Also very nice views!

Stayed here for Gen Con, service was great minus a single hiccup which I felt was responded to in a reasonable way. I appreciate how much they embrace Gen Con and staff was always friendly. Made multiple visits to High Velocity and always received our food swiftly, even when it was very chaotic. Elevators seemed to be able to handle the crowds very well. The room was quiet throughout the weekend.

The hotel itself is located in a prime location for the convention center being attached to most of it via walkways. I would say that the parking is a bit absurd, it can cost up to $59 a day to park in their underground structure. The spots are rather narrow and it seems to fill up brother quickly. The service in the front desk was efficient and they definitely put it on air of luxury with that being said, at its core it is just a simple hotel. The rooms themselves are cleaned regularly as you would expect from such a place, and overall the facilities were for sure above average. If you are looking to stay in the city for convention, there are likely less expensive options outside of the city or nearby, but if you want ease of access to the center as well as to some of the event halls that are often used for conventions, there's no better place to stay than here. Caveat, I would not recommend eating at the restaurant that is attached to the hotel, while the service was acceptable, the food itself did unfortunately not settle well for myself and three other people who ate there. We each had different dishes.
