About this property

Stadium Stays #1 in downtown INDY. A 5 minute walk to the stadium. Free parking.

Nestled in the historic Merz Building is a space with style, comfort and all you will need for a short stay in Indianapolis. Walking distance to Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indiana Convention Center. The suite features 12’ ceilings, both wireless internet and Ethernet hookup, TV, washer dryer and kitchenette to rival the best a 5-star hotel has to offer. The unit is in a studio setting with one queen size bed however a small pullout sofa bed is also in the suite to accommodate a third guest. Did I mention free parking on site? Add that to the list of perks. With the many fine eateries in town, two happen to be across the street from your stay. Shapiro’s Deli and Iozzo’s Italian. Eli Lilly is in the backyard, Back 9 golf a short drive away (no pun intended).

Nice stay for a convention

We had a great experience at this location. The rental provided all we needed for our extended weekend and the host responded quickly with any questions. I believe we were the first to use the site and the host was very transparent with remolding process in the days approaching our stay. Thank you for a great experience.

What we needed for a weekend trip

Great stay that was as described. Newly renovated and convenient to Lucas Oil Stadium. Was not cleaned from the last stay when we arrived at our checkin time. The manager dealt with it quickly and apologized. House needs a deeper cleaning but was good enough for a quick trip. Internet was spotty. No windows to the outside world. But it was relatively cheap and easy access to a quick meal at Shapiros. Easy in/out to interstate.

About the host

Hosted by William Kessler

Host profile image
In 1987 I had the good fortune of playing in the Pan American Games held in Indianapolis. It was that tournament that qualified my team to compete In the 1988 Olympic Games in the sport of Team Handball. I wrote in my diary the day before leaving Indianapolis that I felt as if I would live in this city someday. So here I am, since 1989. Love it!!!

Why they chose this property

It’s all about location, as they say in the business, Then I found the Merz building and from the moment I saw it I recognized the opportunity. It has history, character and a location next to Lucas Oil Stadium, Indiana convention Center and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Hope to have you as a guest and welcome you to this great city.

What makes this property unique

Everything I would want in my own house is what I provide in every property I own. This includes luxury mattresses, a variety of pillows, Antiques, commissioned art work from local artists and chosen pieces from my Art Gallery. If a guest request something I take pride in making it happen.
