Downtown hotel evokes celebrated era in Indianapolis history
Housed in the country’s first union station, the hotel maintains a historic ambiance that celebrates the city’s proud past. The atrium’s riveted steel beams and Tiffany-style glass evoke the 19th-century origins of the building now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located downtown, the hotel is just steps away from the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. On-site amenities include Pullman's Restaurant & Lounge, fitness center, indoor pool and valet parking (fees apply).Highlights

Rooms
A century ago, thousands of Pullman railroad cars carried passengers across the country in some of the most modern, stylish accommodations of the day. Those who wish to revisit that era -- with up-to-date amenities and comforts -- can stay in one of the hotel's 26 authentic Pullman train car guest rooms. All of the hotel's 273 guest rooms -- including two suites -- feature free wired Internet access.
Features
Charming fiberglass statues throughout the atrium -- sometimes referred to as the hotel's "ghost travelers" -- depict moments from the building's past. Present-day travelers carry on the hotel's tradition -- the building is still an active train station. The Grand Hall Ballroom, with its Romanesque Revival architecture, is consistently voted the top wedding venue in the city.
A recently-renovated fitness center includes a variety of equipment such as exercise bicycles, treadmills, elliptical, chest press and leg press. All cardio equipment features iPod/MP3 player ports, personal TVs and fans.

Nice hotel, depressing parking
The hotel was nice. Train theme was well played out. The parking at Pan Am Plaza was sorry. The lot was dingy and not worth 22. Valet may be worth the extra 5.

Great room! Easy access! Little surprised there was NO parking! But for a small fee I got Valet service which ended up being GREAT! The sandwich I got from the restaurant was delicious! Access to downtown was terrific!

Overall experience
It was fine and staff was very helpful. The restaurant was closed, but you could get food in the bar. Bar staff was not particularly pleasant so I gave up and went back to room. Pool Area was nice.

Fair accommodation, at a fair price
I did not get a good first impression of the hotel because I was given a dirty (unmade) room upon arrival. However, they were apologetic and immediately gave me a new room. The room was clean and satisfactory. On another note, the location is great (set in the center of downtown) and has a lot of historical value (though I personally find the hotel's past being a train station to be a tad creepy). As a whole, it's a fair accommodation, offered at a fair price.

Crowne Plaza Hotel Indy - Union Station
Location was great - within blocks of arenas, convention center, Circle Center Mall. Hotel had character and good customer service. The room itself was just mediocre. Parking prices were very high simply based on location, but it definitely adds to the overall cost of the trip.

Weekend getaway
We were in Indianapolis for a Bob Seger concert. We had a great time, the Crown Plaza is a beautiful hotel and was very close to everything we wanted to see - within walking distance. The biggest complaint was that the beds are double instead of queen size - they need to upgrade. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very Nice Hotel
The Crowne Plaza Hotel is everything we expected and more. The room was very nice and clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the ambiance was incredible! We were only 2 blocks away from the Slippery Noodle Inn, where we went to listen to some killer Blues. Overall it was a very good trip!
