The Spotlight on Fort Harrison State Park Inn

Peaceful Retreat Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern comfort meets nature at Fort Harrison State Park Inn, a scenic hotel tucked inside sprawling parkland just 11 miles from downtown Indianapolis. With its rustic charm, serene views, and on-site golf course, this inn offers a relaxing counterpoint to the city's energy—perfect for music lovers who want a quiet place to recharge.
Each room is individually styled and equipped with free WiFi, cable TV, a coffeemaker, and all the essentials for a cozy stay. Guests can enjoy complimentary daily breakfast, and there's even an on-site restaurant for convenient dining after a concert night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes the right balance for concert-goers who want to be near the action but away from the noise. Located just 11 miles from major venues like Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Convention Center, it’s an easy drive or ride-share away. After the show, the park’s peaceful setting is ideal for unwinding. Plus, its free parking and flexible 4:00 PM check-in make planning your arrival stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to combine music and outdoor fun
  • Solo travelers seeking a quiet, safe base
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who appreciate free breakfast and parking

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site restaurant with hearty American fare
  • Complimentary daily breakfast—ideal after a late night
  • Nearby local eateries within a short drive
  • No 24/7 room service, but you can grab a bite before or after a show

Nightlife Options

  • No on-site bar, but downtown Indianapolis nightlife is easily accessible
  • Short drive to bars, clubs, and lounges near concert venues
  • Enjoy a peaceful nightcap under the stars in the park setting

What People Say

Guests love the calm and scenic location, especially after a high-energy night out. The staff gets high marks for friendliness, and the rooms are praised for being clean, comfortable, and quiet. The complimentary breakfast is a frequent highlight in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

While it’s a relaxing spot, the hotel is about a 20-minute drive from downtown—something to consider if you’re relying solely on ride-shares. There’s also no bar or nightlife on-site, so this isn’t the place for post-show parties. But for many, that’s the charm.

The Bottom Line

If you want a peaceful, affordable place to crash after the show—without skimping on comfort—Fort Harrison State Park Inn hits all the right notes.

Don't stay at Fort Ben...

Liked: As soon as I walked in the room I was dealing with a beeping fire alarm. I had to call the staff to come change the battery. There was old smelly food left in the refrigerator. Gross. The amount of dust and lint everywhere in the room was ungodly. I had pretty bad allergies and this was an extreme problem. When I tell you there was a blanket of dust on the bathroom mirror and sconces above it I can't even begin to describe it. There was a large amount of dirt and dust on the room floor. The bed was very comfortable but the comforter had blood on it. The chair in the bedroom had lots of hair and some stains on it. The in room coffee station had products open and dirty left in the basket. It was an odd layout for the room but it works with the small space. Thank God I was there for scuba class and didn't have to stay in the room for long periods of time. Upon check out I spoke to Misty at the desk and told her of my problem. She did say she saw how dirty it was when her and another girl came to change the smoke detector batteries. She stated that she had to wipe off the dirt and dust just to open the smoke detector. I requested a handicap room which I did not get. There are no on site amenities besides Continental breakfast. The breakfast was adequate and changed daily. Overall everyone who worked there was extremely kind. The housekeeping needs to step up their game. It was really gross. Two out of 10. I definitely would not stay there again.

Very interesting property. Unique and...

Liked: It is a historical and very interesting property. The room we had was very large and very charming.This is an old property so if you like shiny new things it is not for you. Staff was wonderful, location was very interesting.Breakfast was ample. We were only there for one night but I would go back.

DIRTY ROOM TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Liked: Room was uncleaned and no other room available. Had to take the family elsewhere at 1am.
Disliked: Worst customer service. Terrible response and solution given was a room with one bed and an air mattress.

Don’t expect a good experience...

Liked: The hotel is in a park so it is a beautiful setting.
Disliked: The honeymoon suite sounds like it would be a great stay but we were right by the elevator (noisy). The room could have been cleaner and stocked with more towels (jacuzzi tub). The kicker had to be a toilet that rocked and ran water every 10-15 minutes plus a shower that you couldn’t turn on the cold water. So no shower for the couple on their honeymoon. The staff were told but indifferent. Tried on multiple occasions to get a call back from the manager about the stay but that didn’t work either. Definitely a disappointment and over priced.
