CANDLEWOOD SUITES INDIANAPOLIS NORTHEAST BY IHG, Indianapolis

The hotel sits at a convenient highway nexus, providing quick access to both the interstate system and local roads. Downtown Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium, and Bankers Life Fieldhouse are all within a 25-minute drive. IBM is only 6 km away, making this a practical base for business travelers. The immediate area is dense with dining options: QDOBA Mexican Eats, Rally's Hamburgers, Twin Peaks, Skyline Chili, and Red Robin are all within 0.5-1 km. A mall and various shops are also less than 2 km away. Free on-site parking is available (no reservation needed), but note that an airport shuttle is not offered.

Rooms are designed as true suites, offering a separate bedroom and living space in the One-Bedroom Queen Suite. Studio suites combine the sleeping and living areas but still include a full kitchen. Kitchenettes feature a two-burner cooktop, full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and a supply of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. Select suites also include a stove and dishwasher. The 32-inch flat-screen TV includes a DVD player and cable channels. Beds have been noted as comfortable, though some room furnishings show signs of wear. The property has undergone recent renovations; many rooms now have modern TVs and updated decor. As the hotel is located near the highway, some road noise is audible; bringing earplugs is advisable for light sleepers.

The hotel does not operate a restaurant or provide a continental breakfast. A 24-hour coffee station is available in the lobby. The on-site convenience store (Candlewood Cupboard) stocks a limited selection of frozen meals, snacks, and drinks, including soda, water, and beer. For fuller meals, the surrounding area offers numerous fast-casual and sit-down restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. The full kitchen in each suite is a practical alternative for families or longer stays.

The indoor pool is open daily from 09:00-22:00, with sun loungers and pool towels provided. The adjacent hot tub/Jacuzzi operates during the same hours and has been noted as clean and well-maintained when open. The 24-hour fitness centre is free for guests and includes basic cardio equipment. Both the pool and hot tub have experienced intermittent closures for maintenance or operational reasons; current availability should be confirmed before booking. A partnership with a nearby Lifetime Fitness offers alternative access to pool and facilities when the on-site pool is closed.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Free public parking is available on site, though spaces cannot be reserved. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out. Business facilities include a free business centre, fax/photocopying, and meeting/banquet rooms (additional charge). Guest laundry is free to use, with washers and dryers. A lift serves all floors, and accessible rooms feature grab bars, visual alarms, and Braille signage. Pets are allowed (fees apply). Safety features include key card access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box at reception.
