A continental breakfast with fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt, and a waffle station is served daily. Coffee, tea, and juices are available. For other meals, Mass Ave and the Murat Theatre area-known for restaurants and theaters-are a short walk away.
Leisure & Nearby Attractions
Guests can borrow from the inn's movie collection or book an on-call massage. The Morris-Butler House and Benjamin Harrison Home are nearby. Downtown Indianapolis attractions like Monument Circle (2 km) and the Indianapolis Zoo (3 km) are easily accessible.
Transport & Accessibility
The inn is 2.4 miles from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and 25 km from Indianapolis International Airport. Bus #7 stops nearby, providing access to central transit routes. The Old Northside district is walkable, with restaurants, theaters, and historic sites close by.
Guest Services & Policies
The Hideaway Suite accommodates up to 4 guests, while most rooms are for 2. Breakfast is included; room rates are settled upon arrival. Cancellations require advance notice due to the inn's small size. Non-smoking rooms feature air conditioning, private baths, and some with claw-foot tubs.
“From what I explored, this is a distinctive Victorian-era property near downtown, offering the kind of personalized hospitality one expects from a top-rated B&B. The innkeepers seem genuinely invested in the guest experience, and its common areas and unique rooms make it standout from more anonymous hotels. I think the location is ideal for leisure travelers wanting a more intimate, home-like experience than a standard hotel.”
