I checked into the hotel around 1:20 am on 8/19/2025, and while the staff were very friendly, I was surprised by how my request for a late check-out was handled. When I asked if I could check out later, I wasn’t given the chance to fully explain my situation. My request was immediately declined without consideration. Given that I checked in so late at night and was extremely tired, I had hoped to rest a bit longer—at least until 2:00 pm. Unfortunately, I was required to check out by 11:00 am, which felt unreasonable under the circumstances.

We stayed on the third floor. The hall carpet was soiled in a number of areas. Room was fine, except the sink area of the floor felt sticky. Breakfast was supposed to be till 10:00, but at 9:40 there was no eggs nor pancake mix. They seemed short staffed.

Super happy with Sonesta Essential Indianapolis!

Absolutely Excellent! Great friendly staff greeted us kindly our entire stay. Room was clean, comfortable beds and nice and cool on those hot August days. Breakfast was hot, well stocked with plenty of options. The indoor pool was open, had nice lounge chairs and extra towels. It was near the airport, but I never heard a plane the entire time we were there. Quiet and restful, I loved the quality room darkening curtains, modern new microwave and mini fridge. I will definitely be staying here again. Thanks!

The staff were super friendly, my daughter loved them. Everything was very clean. Internet was a little slow, but that's typical of hotels. Pool was nice, there's a sauna that doesn't work, but no sign to indicate that it doesn't work. That would be my only complaint and it is very minor. Very happy with my stay while we were there.
