Who this Hotel is great for

Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning (or afternoon) with a continental breakfast, ideal for recovering after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite’s kitchenette with fridge and microwave makes it easy to refuel anytime. Plus, Carmel’s local dining scene is just minutes away, with plenty of walkable spots for a pre-show bite or midnight snack.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more low-key, you're within easy reach of downtown Indy’s vibrant nightlife — from live music bars to cocktail lounges. Afterward, return to the peaceful Carmel location for a much-needed rest. It’s the best of both worlds.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, clean rooms, and spacious suites. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere, even when the hotel is full. Travelers consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the convenience of in-room kitchens. It’s a top pick for long weekends and short stays alike.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel isn’t in the heart of downtown, so you’ll need a ride to get to most concert venues — but the free parking makes that a non-issue for drivers. Some guests mention that the breakfast could use more variety, but it’s still a solid perk.

The Bottom Line

A comfortable, quiet base just outside the city — Residence Inn by Marriott Indianapolis Carmel is a top choice for concert-goers who want space, convenience, and a good night’s sleep.
