The staff was great! They knew we were in town for a concert and they made it extra special by playing the artists music during breakfast and gave us each a small gift.

Good stay!
The stay was great! However we were only there one night! The only thing that could be better is having an option for something warm for breakfast. The Inn is in a goid locution! Nice historic area! Would like to stay longer next time.

Beautiful historic home in an equally beautiful and historic neighborhood. Walking distance to President Benjamin Harrison home, Morris-Butler house, and area restaurants. It is safe and quiet with easy on-street parking.

Super charming and comfortable accommodations. Staff was great, wifi was fast, loved the snacks available late night, and breakfast was very nice. The staff recommended a restaurant an 8 min walk away and it was also excellent.

Cozy Stay
This is our second stay and we loved this room too! In fact 2 other members of my family stayed here and we got to see other rooms - which were lovely. This is just a great, cozy, family-friendly place to stay.

Great place to stay!
I had a great experience while staying there. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. Easier to get in and out of then downtown hotels. Mins away from downtown.

The staff was fine. The bed in the Willow Room was very soft and uncomfortable to the point that sleep was very difficult. We had a conference that started at 8;00 so we needed to eat breakfast promptly at 7:00 as advertised, only to not serving did not occur until 7:15, making us late to the conference session.... probably not return.

We were in town for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. The Looking Glass Inn was close (6 minute drive) to the start of the race. No traffic on race morning. Plus, it is close to restaurants for the night before. The neighborhood is beautiful, and we will stay here again!
