Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Indianapolis Airport
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you need a cheap, clean bed near the airport and have a car or plan to use the shuttle. Skip it if you want to walk to downtown museums, because every listed sight is a long drive away.

This is our Budget pick in Indianapolis, and it works best for practical trips. Think early flights, a late arrival, a road trip that needs a stop, or a family that wants free parking and a family room without paying downtown rates.
It is a poor match if you want to step out of the lobby and walk to restaurants, galleries or the city centre. The address is 5815 Rockville Road, and the sights in our data sit between 9 and 10.4 km away. You will be driving or taking a taxi most of the time.
Location and getting around
Guests describe the location as convenient for highway access near the airport, and they mention a reliable shuttle. The property lists a free airport shuttle, which is the main reason to stay here.
Downtown is a different story. Salesforce Tower is about 9 km away, roughly 113 minutes on foot. The Indianapolis Museum of Art is about 9.5 km, around 119 minutes. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is about 10.4 km, roughly 130 minutes. These walking times are straight-line estimates, and all of them are far. Plan on a car, public transport or a taxi for any sightseeing.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you are driving. The location score from guests is 8.4.
What guests say
The overall score is 8.0 out of 10 from 1,092 reviews.
Rooms get the most praise. Guests call them clean and spacious, with comfortable beds. The airport shuttle also comes up as a plus.
The main complaint is breakfast. Guests say hot items are available, but the selection lacks variety and protein options. Our data does not confirm whether breakfast is included in the rate or what type it is, so check the room description when you book.
One honest note: among the 8 properties we compared, this one sat at the bottom on review score. It earned its place on price, not on being the best-rated hotel in town.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €68.59 a night, about €137 for both nights. That was about 58% below the sample median of €163.32 a night. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Indianapolis Dtn-Conv Ctr Area by IHG, came in at €141.38 a night with a score of 8.9. Our Luxury pick, JW Marriott Indianapolis, was €301.94 a night with a score of 9.0.
So you pay roughly half the Best Value rate here. In exchange you give up a downtown base and a higher guest score. If you are flying in or out and do not plan much sightseeing, that trade usually makes sense.
