Thinking about staying at the Martin House. Any info would be appreciated. Have already booked the Westin, but can change if it is worthwhile
yvr
Although, I have not personally stayed at the Martin House. In the past, my family has had vistors who have chosen to stay at the Martin House, and they were all very pleased with the accomodations. I have always heard good things about the service and the quality of the rooms.
You should note that if you stay in the Martin House you will be on the northwest side of town and a good 20-30 minutes from downtown. The Martin House is located off of 86th street, a major transportation corridor and there are several restaurants and businesses nearby. It is a safe and nice area.
I would recommend that if you are having a conference downtown, then you remain in the Westin.
The Indiana State Capitol is beautiful. It opened in 1878 and its dome rises 130 feet high. In 1988 the building underwent a major renovation. You can either take a self-guided tour or plan a group tour during times when the legislature is in session. Group tours are available by calling Senate Student Services at (317) 232-9410.

There's a wonderful Starbucks in Carmel, just north of the city! It's off US431, going north, take a left onto 116th St. and another immediate right into the shopping center. This one has a fireplace in the middle and is pretty large! I visit here on a very regular basis when passing through the city.
This museum is completely awesome. I've heard that it is the best children's museum in the country. Children and adults can enjoy this place. The only downside I can really think of is that it is usally packed! It's best to go early in the week.
Monument Circle as become more and more the focal point of Indianapolis and its postcards. With recent renovations in the last few years, the area surrounding the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is being looked at as not only a meeting spot for romancers and teenagers, but businesses and companies vying to set up residence in Indianapolis.
During the Christmas and holiday seasons, the monument becomes the world's largest lighted Christmas "tree," and thousands flock to see the initial lighting. Other large events such as the Ferrari get together, Strawberry festival, and weekend cruising frequent this plaza.
If interested in the finer points of Indianapolis, the Monument Circle is a great place to start your search. It is also the centre point of retail in Indianapolis. The Circle Centre Mall is located within a block from the area, aptly named if you might notice, as are many independent retail shops, stores, cafes, eateries, restaurants and communication companies.
The Monument Circle is an unlined cobblestone that many point out replicates the small patch on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Track. This cobblestone brings the history and tradition of Indianapolis to the new and modern buildings surrounding it. Many of the building here though have gone untouched and the architecture from times long ago, but there have also been many renovations that have put Indy in the front group of modern USA cities.
