“Wonderful B+B, great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2010

Stayed for 5 nights in the Portrait Room. My mistake but room was on the ground floor which is not my preferred location. The hotel website states 1st floor which I took to be above ground level. The room itself is lovely. One tiny negative - for us - is that the shower over the bath wasn't as powerful as we would have liked.

The Inn is beautiful and is clean and well maintained. The host and his family were very pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful. The location is great - a leafy suburb that is walkable to a few restaurants and shops and just a short drive to the central downtown area. Very convenient if visiting the Motor Speedway which is about a 10 minute drive away.

A very nice extra was the kitchenette for guests which was always well stocked with complimentary soft drinks, beer and light snacks. Also looked the supply of videos/DVDs and books for guests to use.

Would highly recommend and if we return to Indianapolis we will definitely stay here again.

“a nice place to stay, but don't pay for extras”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2009

My wife and I chose this B&B to celebrate our wedding anniversary and reserved the Rose Room, a larger room that was advertised with a king bed, fireplace and jacuzzi bath. Pros:Pleasant hosts, Late check in, well-decorated in an attractive neighborhoodCons:King bed was actually 2 smaller beds pushed togetherFireplace was not operationalJacuzzi was "quirky" and hard to operateThin walls allow you to hear "everything" going on in adjacent rooms.Summary:We would stay again, but not this room.

“nothing impressive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2009

I guess you get what you pay for here...nothing extraordinarily impressive, but nothing outrageously horrible either.

“Bed was like sleeping on a pool table”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2009

The inn itself is beautiful and is in a great location in the Old North Side. The cleanliness was bad - we found someone else's hair (lots of it) in the whirlpool tub. The service was bad - we saw our host only once when checking in and I'm not sure he was all there. The bed was awful - we actually woke up in pain the next morning...I never expected the matress to be an antique. To top things off, there was some sort of bachelorette party going strong until 2:00 a.m. Being male, I'd never been to a bachelorette party before...I hope I never go to another one again. Next time my wife and I want a romantice evening out, we're going to the Conrad.

“Wonderful Time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2009

My family rented the entire inn for a holiday family reunion. After months of planning every last detail of this trip we could not have been more pleased. The inn is very clean and well kept and the Innkeepers were extremely accommodating to our needs and requests. We especially enjoyed lounging in the living room sipping coffee as the innkeeper prepared us a very tasty breakfast each morning. We will definitely be back!
