Service comes in hot and polished, with thoughtful touches (like luxury robes and umbrellas) that feel less like extras and more like part of the composition. The room leans indulgent: down pillows and marble showers with acoustics that, dare I say, will have you sounding like Whitney Houston on karaoke night. Set in downtown Carmel, you're a short stroll from steakhouse showstoppers and easygoing breweries, high notes, low notes, all within half a mile. Even the gym keeps tempo: Pelotons, free weights, cables, kettlebells, and a fridge stocked full of spring water. It's a stay that swings refined, a little indulgent, and effortlessly in rhythm.

The hotel was decorated for Christmas and I kept telling my husband how lovely it smelled. Check-in went smoothly, Marriot Bonvoy account for free wifi. Our room was gorgeous blue and gold toned. The chandelier was a lovely touch and the ample floor length mirrors were a very welcome touch ; ). Loved that the shower controls were on the opposite side of the shower heads. Gilchrist and Soames products were nice. Really no complaints about the room. Happy hour in the downstairs lobby felt swanky and cozy. Beautiful library area for seating.

I stayed at this Holiday Inn Express as a last minute thing and I am really glad I did!…read more The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and he had me in my room in less than 5 minutes. I dread the check in process at most hotels. This was different! Once I got to my room, I found it to be HUGE and it seems like it was recently renovated. The bed was comfortable and the wifi was awesome! I woke up the next morning and had a greta shower....hot water and great water pressure! I also had a moment to grab the free hot breakfast and it was very good. The usual hotel breakfast stuff, but it was hot and good quality. Overall, a terrific experience in Carmel!

Very disappointing experience - not up to IHG standards…read more I rarely write negative reviews, but this stay was extremely disappointing. From the moment we walked into the lobby to check in, the experience felt uncomfortable. We are a biracial couple, and the front desk clerk completely ignored my husband--she did not acknowledge him, make eye contact, or address him once, speaking only to me the entire time. It was awkward, unprofessional, and made both of us feel very uneasy. We arrived a bit early and politely asked if a room might be available. We were immediately told no, that the hotel had been fully booked the night before. I then asked where the first-floor restroom was. What I found was shocking: one stall was completely clogged and filled to the brim, the other was overflowing with paper. The restroom was dark, dirty, and clearly not being monitored or cleaned. The entire hotel felt very dark and dated. While it appears there may have been some attempted updates, this is clearly an older building that feels worn and neglected. When I returned to the front desk, the same clerk again ignored my husband. After some back-and-forth and a supervisor stepping in, we were suddenly able to check in after all--despite being told moments earlier that no rooms were available. The room itself appeared mostly clean, but it was very dated. The carpet was heavily stained, and the bathroom was unacceptable. The shower door felt unsafe, with a missing rail, making me genuinely concerned the glass could come down while in use. The soap dispenser was loose and hanging off the wall. We are IHG Elite members and have stayed in many IHG properties across the U.S. and Europe. This was, without question, the worst experience we have had. This location does not meet IHG standards in cleanliness, maintenance, or professionalism. I would strongly recommend avoiding this property and choosing another option nearby.

Didn't try the breakfast due to the time we needed to depart. Parking and check in were easy. Staff was friendly. Wifi was included and had good speed. Also when I had called the hotel before my stay, I easily & quickly was able to speak to someone actually at the property (which can be surprisingly difficult at some other hotels in the area). I'd stay again if I needed an affordable room in the area.

I just wish there was also a stovetop option. Beds were comfortable with ample space!

The space is huge making it a perfect spot for conventions, business and other visitors. They have a coffee bar opened each morning serving Starbucks drinks and sandwich along with full breakfast and dinner options (bar has a lovely wine selection).

Staff was friendly and per usual, they have Aveda products in the bathroom which make my heart happy. No complaints at all about this place!

The property is lovely, and our room (Anna Lynn) was spacious and comfortable. The pillow top King size bed was spectacular! Joe and Kelly's breakfasts were absolutely phenomenal. Everything was gourmet quality, and served with care. They are lovely people and we enjoyed chatting with them each day. I fell in love with their little dog Ted, and it was very hard to say goodbye! We have stayed in many B&Bs and the Old Town Carmel was one of the best! Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a relaxing stay in the Indianapolis area, as it was an easy drive to the city. Lots to do in the Art & Design District.

The Hilton Garden Inn is one of Carmel, Indiana's more affordable hotel options. It's relatively…read moreclose to Carmel's Arts & Design District and has a handful of restaurants within walking/wheeling distance. I visited the hotel while participating in an event. It's a four-level hotel. It offers connecting rooms, free parking, free WiFi, digital key, an on-site restaurant (I know the breakfast buffet is now $14), an indoor saltwater pool, fitness center, business center, and is in the middle of a residential area with a mix of apartment communities and businesses surrounding it. There's also a patio with a fire pit. I checked in around 4pm - after the allowed 3pm. When I'm on this event, I sometimes get in early, however, I was pretty busy in Carmel. I reserved and received an accessible room, at least by their own definitions. It's accessibility is definitely a bit weak by ADA standards. I am a wheelchair user who was in room 328 and there was definitely barely enough room between the bed and the large dresser. I literally rubbed. If you're in a larger wheelchair or motorized chair, you definitely don't want this room. That said, bed height was good. This was a room with a bathtub that has grab bars - not ideal but workable (and does meet ADA). I had identified being a wheelchair user in my reservation - so I'm a bit disappointed to be placed in as room where it was difficult (but not impossible) to navigate. If it had been impossible, I'd have requested a change. The free WiFi works well. You can upgrade to a premium experience for $4.95 a day. There were handles on the curtain that make it easy for a wheelchair user to open and close them- nice touch. The doorway is relatively light. Elevators are roomy enough for a wheelchair and multiple guests. The lobby is nice and dining area comfortable. I had dinner at a surrounding restaurant, however, I did stay in the hotel for breakfast and was pleased. The main employee I dealt with was friendly and helpful. I had asked for a copy of the city newspaper, however, they didn't have one (they do offer a free USA Today). Overall, this was a positive experience. While the accessibility for a wheelchair user in my room was somewhat disappointing, it was for the most part workable and other accessibility issues were as expected. I would likely return here, however, I might explore a different room to see if I could get a little more comfortable with navigation. The hotel seems to be a bit older and could use a bit of a touch-up, however, it was clean, comfortable, and this was a good stay.

No complaints other than I left my swimsuit in the bathroom, called them the SAME DAY as check out. They said they would put it in the lost and found and when my husband went back 6 days later, they could not find. More annoying than anything. It's replaceable but I gave the my name and room number all before my checkout time, so there was no gap in when I left and when another person would've come in.

Stay anywhere else but here. The most disappointing stay I've ever encountered at a hotel by far…read more More cons outweighed the 1-2 pros for this hotel and I'm being generous. Based on info, they are going to be remodeling in the near future but not soon enough. They need to tear down this place and start from scratch. Side note, our family spent A LOT of money to stay here for the weekend of the Indy 500. Third floor 2 bedroom suite. We don't expect a 5 star accommodation but people who work here/and or own this just don't care about the hotel or the guests having a good experience. Notes 1. Our 2 bedroom suite smelled like mold when we walked in. My hubby determined that an animal had peed on the carpet and/or the dishwasher standing liquid that was sitting on the bottom of the dishwasher was also maybe the culprit. 2. I opened up the dishwasher which had dirty water at the bottom, could the smell be from that? 3. Water was leaking from the shower onto the tile floor. I closed the shower curtain while I was showering so that was strange. 4. Couch is lopsided and cushion extends over the side. Not comfy. 5. I guess housekeeping only comes after 3 nights at the place. When they did come, they just dropped off towels. They didn't do anything else. They didn't make the beds, etc. 6. Breakfast was okay. Nothing over the top. A very small breakfast nook for the amount of hotel rooms. 7. Pool was closed so you could use the pool across the parking lot at their sister hotel. That pool needs a remodel as well. 8. The curtains were damaged. 9. The beds were so soft and old that every time my hubby moved in the bed, I felt it. 10. Closets doors. One room was missing one of the closet doors while the other closet was completely broken so trying to get to the hairdryer out was an act of Cirque du Soleil. 11. I was about to use a peeler in the kitchen but it was all rusty. 12. The chairs at the dining room table had nasty markings that looked like snot all over them. 13. When I went to take a shower the first day, the shampoo container was completely empty. That was fun. Positives: the tv worked and my son ate fruit loops at breakfast.
