The day time staff member was great, just the over night one was not friendly at all or approachable, lobby could be a lot nicer and breakfast could be better

Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre Hotel
The staff here is great. And the location is iconic, with some incredible views of Monument Circle. The hotel itself could really use a refresh, but things were generally clean. I was happy with my stay. And, again, a call out to an engaged and communicative team! That was a big plus!
