Hotel Extended Stay America Select Suites - Indianapolis - North - Carmel (Indianapolis, USA)

If you need accommodations for a longer stay, this will serve as a mini apartment away from home. The rates are affordable and the property seems well maintained. The neighbourhood is safe and there are many restaurants and shops nearby. You can even walk to many areas.

The management staff is friendly and does work hard to solve problems. Discounts are offered for unpleasant situations and management will move guests to other rooms upon request. The housekeeping staff is also friendly and courteous.

There is a swimming pool, which isn't standard for most of the hotels in this chain. The rooms are spacious and do provide a big enough work area that it's possible to conduct business. The Wi-Fi fee is included in the room rate. It also works for those who want to bring along pets. There are vending machines for guest use.

This hotel doesn't have a lift, so you'll be hauling up your items via the stairs. The room choices are also limited with only double or queen beds offered. The breakfast is basically just stale carbohydrates in a sack.

Because the units aren't cleaned daily, dust and dirt do build up. Looking under the bed and furniture will show large amounts of dust bunnies and discarded garbage. There are some insect problems and the hotel suffers from odour problems, either from the local sewer treatment plant.

These units are run like mini apartments and not like a hotel. So, if your neighbours are noisy, you probably won't get any help. The room isn't stocked with toiletries or complimentary coffees and you won't see housekeeping unless you're there for a longer stay.
