The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis South by IHG

Your Budget-Friendly Base Near the Indianapolis Music Scene

Modern and comfortable, the Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis South offers a no-fuss stay just 5 miles from downtown's biggest concert venues. With clean, functional rooms and thoughtful extras like free WiFi and an indoor pool, it’s a solid pick for travelers who want convenience without breaking the bank. Located right off I-65, it’s easy to get in and out, whether you're catching a show at the stadium or heading to a local music hall.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great choice if you're heading to a show at Lucas Oil Stadium or Fountain Square Theatre—both just a short drive away. Guests love the express check-in and check-out, which makes arriving late or leaving after a late night hassle-free. The location is far enough from the downtown buzz to ensure quiet nights, but still close enough to grab a rideshare or drive in under 15 minutes. Plus, with a 24-hour front desk, you don’t have to worry about missing the last encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable shared stay
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples planning a relaxed concert weekend
  • Fans seeking quiet downtime after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant, the hotel features a handy snack bar for quick bites, and microwaves and fridges in every room for post-show eats. The free hot breakfast (served late enough for those who sleep in) is a hit with guests. Several casual dining spots and fast food options are just a short drive or delivery order away.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is quiet, making it ideal for winding down. But if you're still in the mood to celebrate, Fountain Square’s bars and music lounges are less than 5 miles away. You’ll find everything from dive bars with live bands to chill cocktail spots, all within easy reach.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and easy parking. Many reviewers mention how surprisingly quiet the hotel is at night—something concert-goers really appreciate after a loud show. The indoor pool and reliable WiFi score consistent points, too.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel could use minor updates in decor. While the location is super convenient for drivers, those relying on public transit or walking might find it a bit disconnected from the action. But for most, the value and comfort outweigh the minor trade-offs.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Indianapolis and want a clean, quiet, and budget-friendly place to recharge, Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis South hits the right notes.

Duane, Beavercreek, visiting Murat Theatre Sat, 17 October 2015

Wife and I enjoyed a mid-week, overnight getaway to Indianapolis to attend a concert at the Murat Theater. Downtown hotels would have been $50-$100 or more in price for the one-night stay. The added 10-12 minute drive into the city center was no big deal with plenty of parking available near the venue.

Liked: Good value for the money. Courteous and helpful staff. Room clean and comfortable. Breakfast added bonus.
Disliked: None noted.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Sikorski Mon, 5 May 2025

The hotel stay was nowhere...

Liked: The front desk staff was so friendly.
Disliked: I felt like the hotel was way overpriced for its value. Only one elevator worked, our room smelled of stale air when we first checked in, the comforters had obvious food stains on them, so I’m not certain we received clean linens prior to our stay. There was wipeable filth on the bathroom door, as well as walls and surfaces in the bedroom.

It was just okay
