My wife and I stayed at the Looking Glass Inn in July 2005 for 1 night to attend the F1 Grand Prix in Indianapolis. The owners also manage two other nearby Indianapolis properties, The Villa and the Stone Soup Inn.

The Looking Glass Inn is a nice B&B in a good area close to downtown. I have no complaints about the accommodations or service we received during my stay.

In fact, we were open to the prospect of returning for another stay, but this is where our problem occurred.

We decided to again attend the F1 race in Indianapolis in July 2006. We contacted the Looking Glass Inn in December 2005 (six months in advance) and made a reservation, received a confirmation email, and had a deposit charged to our credit card. Several weeks later we received a call indicating they were canceling our reservation because they were deeming the F1 weekend a special event weekend and were now requiring a 4-night minimum stay at rates higher than they publish on their website.

We were very upset by this because we had a reservation and had paid a deposit. The owner was not very apologetic. She did offer to contact other hotels for us in the area, but ultimately did not follow up with us leaving us without a place to stay.

I would encourage strong consideration before booking with any hotel or bed and breakfast that treats returning guests this way. I will not consider staying at the Looking Glass Inn again.

We went to Indianapolis to have a girls weekend away and go to the spa at Villa Inn. When calling the Villa Inn, they booked us at the Looking Glass because they had twin beds. When we arrived at the B&B, the bed was made up into a King and not two twins. The Innkeeper nicely gave us another room since the chamber maids had already left for the day and there was availability. I stayed in the Willow Room and my friend in the Rose Room. Both rooms were decorated beautifully and breakfast was terrific. We felt that the innkeeper went above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood was nice and the inn was very clean. It is a great spot for couples.

My daughter and I stayed 2 nights at the Looking Glass Inn. The room was beautifully appointed with a walkin closet and a giant jacuzzi tub. A butler's pantry with a refrigerator and microwave was very handy for storing our leftovers and drinks. Breakfast was excellent and home-made blueberry scones were a real treat. We had our own key so we could come and go as we pleased. Looking forward to visiting again with my husband.
