The host was welcoming. Beautiful late 1800s home. The breakfast presentation and variety were nice. It has several parking spaces with surveillance cameras. He has fresh baked goods, snacks, beverages, and ice available all the time. Movies galore to choose from. A piano to play and books to read. Accommodating with check-in and check-out times. The room had a smart TV, DVD/VHS player, hairdryer, and Wi-Fi. In my private bath, it was supplied with travel-size soap, shampoo, and full-size shampoo and conditioner. Towel presentation was nice, and so was the quality of the towels and washcloths. The bed and linens were comfortable. I stayed two nights. Everything was positive besides my room being very dusty. All the decor, wall decor, baseboards, and HVAC registers were covered in dust. I have severe allergies to dust. I didn't sleep well from being super itchy, and my sinuses from the dust, even though I took a variety of allergy meds. I found prescription meds on the sink vanity that was pushed up next to a decoration piece. Looked like it had been there a while. I did toss them. Be clear on the time you're wanting breakfast. Close to downtown. Uber was under $7, cheaper than paying for parking downtown. If I visit Indianapolis again, I would stay again if I knew the rooms were recently dusted.

This is the second time that I have stayed at the old Northside bed and breakfast. It is a very Charming place and each room has its own theme. I stayed in the Hollywood room. The only thing that I did not like is that this room has a crack running down the wall. Some people may not notice this because of all the decoration on that wall but I did notice it. Breakfast was excellent and meeting some of the other people that stayed last night was also fun. I had a really nice conversation with the proprietor and with the other guests.

Historic bed and breakfast in Indy

We enjoyed our stay in the literary room in this historic house. Snacks, soft drinks and homemade cookies were always available. The breakfast had something to fit everyone’s taste. Gary was a great host.

Highly recommend!

We stayed in the Literary Room, and it was amazing. The king bed was super comfortable and the jet bath tub made for two was super relaxing before bedtime. And Danny, our host, was amazing and super accommodating. From nightlife recommendations to the history of the bed and breakfast, you could ask him anything about the area, and he was quick to respond. He made a really good fluffy quiche for breakfast, too. I would highly recommend this place!
