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.

Friendly Innkeeper

The innkeeper was friendly and the property was nicely decorated. Breakfast was your standard continental. The flooring on the side entry is in need of replacement and I wished we had the mini fridge in our room because I forgot to go down the hall to retrieve my food from the mini fridge when I departed. Rooms were very today but sheets are scratchy.

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!

This is a beautiful historic building in a lovely, quiet and neighborhood. The home is over 100 years old and as much of the original decor and furniture as possible has been maintained. Needed updates, such as a large shower stall, were well done. Each floor has a butler's pantry where you have access to a refrigerator, hot and cold water, variety of beverages, and free microwave popcorn. I thought the Continental breakfast was excellent, including juice, fruit, hard cooked eggs, yogurt and a large variety of breads and pastries. However, my husband was very disappointed that there were no cooked offerings. The innkeeper recommended that we go to the Tinker Street restaurant for dinner. It was within easy walking distance of the inn so we didn't have to deal with moving the car and parking. It was a wonderful recommendation. We had a peach and burrata salad, crab scampi, and their signature dessert homemade ricotta donuts. It was all excellent. Our only concern about the Looking Glass Inn is that we thought the room might be too warm at night. Although the shared areas of the building were air-conditioned, the rooms are not. And we were unable to open the window to get fresh air. Fortunately, by evening the outside temperature had dropped enough that it wasn't uncomfortable.

Beautiful BnB

Pros: cleanest place ever, beautiful property, easy check in, thoughtful/tasteful room design, easy entry. Loved the access to ice and filtered water. Nice pillows. Cons: the best was VERY uncomfortable. Whenever one of us moved the other one rolled to the center of the mattress. The water pressure was extremely low in the shower. That might not bother everyone. Also, I was expecting a breakfast, rather than just a little continental. It’s okay, it’s just not what I’m used to from B and Bs.

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.

A lovely property with one big problem: the HVAC system emits a loud, high frequency droning noise that is inescapable on the second floor. Thankfully, the innkeeper was able to relocate us to the one bedroom available on the first floor, where we escaped the noise and had a good stay. The neighborhood is lovely, the location is convenient, breakfast was good, and street parking was easy to find.
