Coffee and tea makers come standard, and downtown dining options are just a short drive away—perfect if you’re grabbing a bite before or after the show.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of its charm. It offers a retreat from the noise, yet downtown Indy’s vibrant bars, clubs, and lounges are less than 15 minutes away, whether you're in the mood for a pre-show cocktail or an after-party spot. If you’re staying in, the hotel’s movie library is a fun, low-key way to wind down.

What People Say

Guests highlight the cleanliness and size of the suites, the friendly staff, and how convenient it is for long or short stays. Many say the in-room kitchens are a huge bonus, especially for longer trips or those who like the flexibility of eating in.

Areas for Improvement

The location isn’t walkable to downtown venues, so you’ll need a car or rideshare. There’s also no daily housekeeping, which is standard for extended-stay hotels but can surprise some guests. Still, most agree the trade-off is worth it for the space and privacy.

The Bottom Line

Candlewood Suites Indianapolis East By IHG is a solid pick for concert-goers who want a comfortable, quiet, and affordable place to crash after the show—with plenty of space to spread out and recharge.
