Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown
Really nice property and a good value but there was a big tent out in the parking lot playing very loud music until about 10:30 p.m. it was extremely loud considering it came through the walls and windows on the 10th floor as if they were in there with me. That's probably not a good thing for future ...
