Front desk staff all very friendly & professional.

Perfect setting for anything downtown. Safe and close to everything.

This place looks nice when you first walk in but when I put my 9 month old down so she could crawl, her feet and knees were BLACK with filth in 10 minutes. I complained to the desk and asked for someone to come and vacuum my room and instead, when I returned to the room the vacuum was waiting outside my door and I HAD TO VACUUM MYSELF. I was in shock and was pissed. Do not stay here.

We loved the spaciousness of the room. Plentry of room to stretch out, didn't feel like a typical hotel room.

It is a well-kept hotel. It was clean and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. On the map it look far from the "downtown" area but it is only a few minutes to walk. It was nice to be close to the canal.

It was not worth what I paid. Staff was very good but rooms and amenities just ok.

Convenient location on the canal, close to museums, downtown shopping, Lucas Oil Field. Excellent staff, very accommodating, very friendly.

Location was great. Hottest day of the year and the pool was closed the whole time. They should have worked around the clock to get the pool fixed. Front staff was not too friendly about the complaints either. Breakfast was sub par. Not even close to other Marriot hotels I have stayed at.

Staff was great, and very helpful. We had a nice stay.

Residence Inn is the only hotel in Indy on the canal. All of the staff that we encountered during our stay was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. From the maids to the front desk personnel, everyone had a smile on their face and a friendly greeting. Emily is a very hard worker, chipping in to help serving breakfast and working the front desk like a pro. We will definitely stay here again.

I was pleased with the staff very friendly the place was always clean and smelled nice . I was surprised at the size of the room very comfortable and roomy . It was close to everything downtown and a pretty little canal ran by the back very lovely ! I will definitely stay here again and suggest it to my family and friends !

The good? The staff and the location were both great. Located on the canal and within walking distance of a lot of sites, it was a great place to stay in that regard. What could have been better? THE BED WAS AWFUL. Hard -- certainly nothing I expected for the price point. And the kitchen should have a full oven. Only a stove top and their "convection oven" -- which I think was just a good microwave -- limited my cooking options. If you are going to pitch your hotel as a "residence" then a full oven -- even a small one -- is an absolute necessity.

Great location in town. Super friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is all you need to start your day, and the rooms are well-kept. Even if you don't need a kitchen you should consider this hotel. A great way to have a home-away-from-home!

Room was very nice and spacious, staff is responsive, great location, breakfast was great with plenty of options. Overall I was happy with my stay. The windows/walls on the canal side are thin, so every group of people that walked by sounded like they were inside the room (2nd floor). Air conditioning system is very loud and woke us up often. Bathroom exhaust fan also loud and is on the same switch as the fluorescent light in the bathroom. My wife and I also found the bed to be uncomfortable and not of a high quality, every time one of us moved, the other was bounced around.

We were travelling as a family with a person in a wheelchair and this hotel made every accommodation. Staff were wonderful, room fit our needs.
