Excellent hotel for the stressed business traveller!

Recently, my business travels brought me to Indianapolis. Not expecting much, I figured the Crowne Plaza would be an OK place to hang my hat for the week. However, when I entered the hotel I was immediately impressed. When I pulled up to the hotel, I was greeted by a friendly valet that offered to take my car and help with my bags.
Then, I walked into the hotel where a smiling representative checked me into my room. Since I was a priority club member, I was able to stay in the Priority Club section of the hotel. I think this section is a bit quieter and more business traveler friendly than the train cars and other sections of the hotel. Signing up is free if you'd like to sign up before you .
When I arrived in my room, I immediately noticed that it was immaculately clean. And, there was tons of room to move around (not something you'll have in the train car rooms, although they are pretty cool to see). Then, I laid on the bed and felt like Goldie Locks - the bed was just right! Not too firm, not too soft, crisp sheets, fluffy comforter, and super clean.
That night, I slept like a baby and was ready to go for my business meeting in the morning. Before leaving for the meeting, I received a copy of the paper and visited the business lounge for a quick coffee and breakfast before starting the day. When I arrived back at the hotel for my last night's stay, I was able to check in for my flight and print the boarding pass using the computer and printer in the business lounge.
Pleasent Suprise...

Loved this place. We stayed in one of the historic rail cars, much to my surprise. It was large enough for two with all the comforts of any other room. Comfy king size bed, internet and more ... very quite even with the disclaimer we may hear "trains passing" Close to everything and just a few blocks from the "Slippery Noodle" ... can't wait to have to return!!
Great, but avoid...

The hotel is wonderful. Do be aware that the noise from the pool carries very well. Request a room as far away from the pool as possible. Also, the train cars are neat, but they look just like they do on the web site...long and narrow. In addition, the wood slat blinds DO NOT provide any darkening at night from the bright lights in the hall. Other than that, all is great here.
All aboard for Crowne Plaza!

The hotel is in the old Union Station. The interior has been modified, but much of the train station ambience remains. We decided to stay there because of the picturesque decor and the presence of several classic Pullman cars inside the hotel. What a hoot! We came home with a number of photos which will end up in a travel album, for sure.
We enjoyed our stay very much and we appreciated not being rushed to vacate the room the next morning. The room was large enough for us and quite comfortable.
The only thing I'd wish for is a refrigerator to keep beverages, particularly bottled water. The city water in Indy is not among the best we've encountered.
not worth the price

Hotel was nice, has some actual train cars inside. kids would love that. however we were on a anniversary getaway. bed was very comfortable. only complaints I have is the room service guy who charged right in after opening the door, and the maid who attempted to walk in @ 8:30 in the morning. but really nothing special. parking is expensive, drinks were expensive, $*small bottle of warm water seems a little steep. probably better values in the same area. but not an unpleasent place to stay
