    Cheeseburger
    Tina W.

    I'm only reviewing the cheeseburger I had Saturday evening from the restaurant at Holiday Inn. It was so perfectly prepared and plated. This cheeseburger was the highlight of my stay. I appreciate it.

    Phew, can't tell you what a relief it is to have a clean room! Lately I've felt like The Holiday Inn was really falling off but walking in everyone was very welcoming and it was neat. The bar food looked good but I didn't get a chance to try it. However I did try the breakfast and it was pretty good! The bar stays open until a decent time in case you're arriving late and want to grab a drink or a bite to eat. The workout room was rather small and only had dumbbells, treadmill, elliptical, a bosu ball, and a bike. But at least they had a gym. My only con is I could hear when anyone left their room and got ice anddd although we had a decent view of the eway and beyond...it sounded like the 18 wheelers were in the room with us.

    This is not what I paid for!

    I'm visiting the U.S, I have been in many many hotels in the United States and around the world. I've never been treated by a hotel receptionist like in here. The lady who checked me in for some reason looked and talked like she was disgusted that she has to deal with me!! When she's done she just gave me the room's key letting me figure out what direction I should go. And when I asked her "where is the elevator?" she wasn't even looking at me when she answered and her voice tone was like (I'm too busy to answer a stupid question)! When I went to the room, the room was open and the bathroom was dirty!! How do you think they fixed that? Upgrade? Free night? Free meal? Proper apologize? Saying sorry? The answer is NO, they just changed the room to a similar one and telling me "it's ok take your time to move your stuff". On my way to check out the lady in the reception was busy with other customer so I went out to put my luggage in my car and I'll come back to check out. She shouted and everyone in the lobby was able to hear her (Sir. Are you checking out? I said yes. She said are you taking the keys with you?!!!) and everyone there looked at me as I'm stealing something! I don't know what's the hotel's management takes on that but the hotel receptionist mostly the first person a traveler will meet in a city. After this I'm still not sure if they hated me for some weird reason or if this is just the culture in Indiana state!

    This is what happens when you speak the truth about a property. I tried to sum it this review via their website and they didn't wanna hear what I had to say. Stay away.

    It's probably not surprising that Coxhall Mansion is within the Coxhall Gardens location in Carmel…read more Both are event venues exclusive to Ritz Charles, though they fall under the Hamilton County Parks leadership. I stumbled across it today while out driving around and waiting for an event I was attending. The mansion is a historic mansion that was inspired by the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg, VA. It has multiple options for several events and has been updated by Hamilton County Parks. From the looks of things, those updates continue to be implemented. As a historic mansion, accessibility isn't perfect. Things have been made as accessible as possible - Hamilton County, in general, tries to do that. Event space on the main floor has space for 80 people for a sit-down event. If the patio is included, you could have 100 sit-down or 120 standing. There's also a third-floor music room that has space for 40 sit-down. If you need a larger space, Coxhall Gardens has several other options including an amphitheatre. It's super weird to think that this was a home. The land started with the John Williams family (No, not the Star Wars composer). They were early Hamilton County settlers and moved here in 1855. 10 years later, they built the Victorian home that still stands. Bricks were even made on-site. In 1958, a 40-year-old Jesse Cox and his wife would make a bid on the property - it was initially denied, however, a year later the property was still for sale. Finally, they were able to acquire it. In 1999, they donated it to Hamilton County Parks. Due to its historic nature, the mansion is often viewed separately from the rest of the gardens. This entire complex is pretty mesmerizing, however, Carmel has a long history of weaving together luxury, history, and practicality and this mansion is a great example.

From the…read morevery beginning, it stood out as an incredible value--beautiful, flexible, and perfect for couples who want something special without blowing their budget. The space itself is absolutely stunning. It's one of those venues that can easily be dressed up to match any vision, but honestly, it looks amazing even on its own. Whether you're going for something simple or more elaborate, it gives you the freedom to make it completely your own. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the staff. Everyone we worked with was fantastic--friendly, responsive, and clearly experienced. Aly was especially amazing: so knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way, which made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. We loved how customizable everything was. We brought in our own vendors, which helped us stay within budget, and the venue worked perfectly with our choice to use food trucks--such a fun and unique touch that our guests loved. It's also worth noting that they do have great partner options available too, including help with booking hotel blocks, which is super convenient. The bar setup was another highlight. Their build-your-own bar package is such a cool option, and Ayden was incredibly helpful in guiding us through it. He even offered to track down Malört for us (I'm a Chicago native, so that meant a lot!). We ultimately went with a cash bar, but his willingness to go above and beyond really stood out. Overall, BASH made our reception feel completely personalized and effortless. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone planning a wedding or any kind of event--you really can make it exactly what you want, and the team will support you every step of the way.

Too bad it's private and thus only open to members. It's a Pete Dye course, so from a player/spectator perspective, it's a golfer's paradise.

The members are overall very inviting, and the staff is very helpful - not only in the pro shop, but in the whole (beautiful) clubhouse itself. If you have any chance to play, I highly recommend!

Everything was simple and open. Lots of seating that create a sense of community. One of my colleagues also joined me in the hotel pool and jacuzzi, which was indoors and very enjoyable. Fairly humid because of the weather outside, but still relaxing. On one of the last nights, my colleagues and I ordered glasses of wine and chilled on the lounge furniture by the front desk as we laughed and exchanged stories.

My interest was piqued and I set off to check it out. Turns out, my good Yelp buddy Richard P. has already visited this labyrinth and wrote a way better review of it than this one I'm writing right now. So read his review. Then, go and visit this labyrinth. You'll find it easily when you enter the church parking lot -- just follow the signs for "Children's Circle." I'll have to come back with my children, because I think they'd have fun walking on the labyrinth and getting to the center. It's a nice little spot with some boulders to climb on, and some benches to sit on, if you wish. It's located right off the church parking lot, but tucked into a little nook with trees, so it's definitely a place where you could find peace and quiet.

A relatively new labyrinth, this labyrinth was developed in 2013 as part of the over 180-year-old church's 175th anniversary celebration. This is an outdoor labyrinth built in concrete within one of Second Church's grassy areas. It's publicly accessible and other than during events held at the labyrinth is open for use. Rev. Gracie Payne, a former Lake Fellow at the church and now Director of Young Adults, led the development of a prayer guide for the labyrinth that is available on the church's website. The outdoor labyrinth is designed in the classic tradition similar to that of the one at Chartres Cathedral in France. While it's just a touch too narrow for full-on wheelchair use, the labyrinth is easily wheelchair accessible with a pathway that is smooth. I've had no difficulty following the labyrinth's paths - I simply go a bit outside the lines (which pretty much sums up my life anyway). This labyrinth is in an inspired location. It's easily accessible within the city, there's plenty of parking, it's a generally safe area (in fact, I often see police cars in the parking lot), and yet it's a fairly wooded lot offering a peaceful place for prayer and meditation. Second Church does periodically hold labyrinth-based events and the website is a great place to look for those. Currently, they are asking labyrinth users to wear a mask if 2 or more are using the labyrinth. There's also a bench where you can sit and reflect here, as well. Otherwise, this is a simple yet beautiful labyrinth and definitely one of my favorites.

There was a lovely patio out back with lots of comfy seating. The breakfast was pretty terrific in a comfy area (ice and drinks available 24/7) and all the staffers we encountered were helpful and friendly. The hallways and elevators were a little shabby, but other common areas were great. I looked but did not find a safe for valuables. After our first night, we returned from breakfast to find our rooms were being serviced by housekeeping; unlike the situation in other hotels, the housekeeper did not confirm our identity or block us from simply walking into the room. We discovered another person - a 9-year-old child - quietly relaxing on the sofa while she worked. It turned out to be no problem in our situation, but the lack of a safe and these security issues would give me real concern had we kept valuables, confidential materials or anything dangerous in our room. As it was, I kept the "no housekeeping" magnet on the doorframe after our second night. With that exception, it was pretty perfect for what we wanted. Not upscale in any way, but with everything you needed.
