Staff was friendly but they are clearly understaffed/under supported by IHG. Breakfast unavailable because of staffing, broken elevator, shower/bathroom was dirty and linens had stains. Wouldn’t recommend unless they get proper staffing to address these issues.

Not a great experience

I guess I was put in a discount room because I requested to be on a low floor and the front desk lady said no. She had a really bad attitude as well. The room seem to face a place called 3000 bar and the noise coming from that area was loud. Also, the room had a loud buzzing sound in it. I think it was the AC unit. Oh, yeah, you can’t control the temperature in your unit. You’ll have to call the front desk to get them to adjust your temperature.

We had a flawless check in process, great valet and housekeeping services, but the breakfast that was included wasn’t the best experience. We waited at a table for a long time only to finally be greeted by a grumpy lady (I can’t blame her too much for being grumpy since she was the only one working the restaurant). The food was fine, but, as a result of this experience, we chose to forfeit our included breakfast the next day and just go to a different restaurant. The other issue we had was the noise outside our window that went on until the early morning hours keeping us from sleeping.

Hotel Indigo Great for Writers!

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Indigo and have reservations there for a writers' group I'm bringing to town at the end of September. My absolute favorite part of the room was the shower which was a piece of heaven with the perfectly hot water and the lovely products plus it was sparkling clean. The location is also perfect for my group so close to good restaurants with something for everyone. The day I arrived, unfortunately the elevator was down for a while, but it was repaired shortly after. The bar is adorable and I can't wait to write there with my group! Great staff also. Helpful and friendly.

Okay visit

Staff was very friendly and very prompt to address issues. However, the bathroom door is a rolling door that has a 2 inch gap on each side so everyone in the room can hear you in bathroom. Our bathroom door was extremely hard to push open. The kids couldn’t open or shut it. The elevator worked once on our trip. And overall the hotel was very old and needed updates . There were people directly outside approaching everyone they saw although that’s not a hotel problem maybe something could be done
