The list behind the stadium’s lodging link
The Hotels and Lodging menu item on the Lucas Oil Stadium site opens a Visit Indy reservations list for the building, site 15778 in region i5542. The list carries 64 properties and sorts them by distance from 500 South Capitol Avenue. Twenty-one records sit inside 0.62 miles.
Those 21, in the list’s own order, with its own star ratings:
Holiday Inn Indianapolis Downtown by IHG, 0.03 miles, three stars. Staybridge Suites Indianapolis Downtown-Convention Center by IHG, 0.05, three. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Indianapolis Dtn-Conv Ctr Area by IHG, 0.08, three. Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn by IHG, 0.35, three and a half. Tru By Hilton Indianapolis Downtown, 0.37, three. TownePlace Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, 0.40, three. Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, 0.40, four. The Westin Indianapolis, 0.45, four. Omni Severin Hotel, 0.45, four. JW Marriott Indianapolis, 0.46, four. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, 0.49, three. SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, 0.49, three. Le Meridien Indianapolis, 0.50, four. Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, 0.50, three. Homewood Suites by Hilton Indianapolis-Downtown, 0.53, no rating. Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, 0.53, four. Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown Across from Circle Centre, 0.58, two and a half. Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown, 0.58, three and a half. Hyatt House Indianapolis Downtown, 0.61, three. Hyatt Place Indianapolis Downtown, 0.62, three. Conrad Indianapolis, 0.62, four and a half.
The star split
Conrad Indianapolis carries the top rating on the list at four and a half stars. Six records sit at four stars: Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, The Westin Indianapolis, Omni Severin Hotel, JW Marriott Indianapolis, Le Meridien Indianapolis and Hyatt Regency Indianapolis. Two sit at three and a half stars: Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn and Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown. Ten sit at three stars. Hampton Inn Indianapolis Downtown Across from Circle Centre carries two and a half stars, and the Homewood Suites record carries no rating.
Fifteen of the 21 records carry a meeting facility tag. Eleven carry free breakfast.
Parking is paid on every record inside the radius
All 21 records carry a parking tag. None carries a free parking tag. Seventeen carry an accessible parking tag.
Airport transfer sits on 13 of the 64 records, and 11 of those list it free. No record on the list carries a local shuttle tag. The airport group clusters at the far end of the sort, which is the end a group travelling by coach does not need.
Rates sit behind a date entry
None of the 64 cards carries a teaser rate. Every card prints the same request for dates. The list therefore carries no open-market number for the 16-17 October Super Regional weekend, and the event publishes no room block, no rate and no cut-off date.
Where the bus question sits
No record on the list carries a bus or coach line. The statement that downtown hotels cannot take buses appears on no page read for this piece. That question belongs to the housing bureau, and the list answers only the distance, the star rating and the parking tag.
The rest of the inventory
Ten records sit between 0.62 miles and one mile from the stadium. Three sit between one and 2.5 miles, one sits between 2.5 and five miles, and 29 sit at five miles or more. The 64 records divide on distance alone, and the split puts 21 properties inside a walk of the gates.
A revenue manager pricing that weekend and a family booking it read the same page from the same distance sort. Neither sees a rate until a date goes in.
