I am very critical of customer service experiences in general and don't normally give glowing reviews. However, my family's experience at the Canal Residence Inn was absolutely wonderful. The tone was set early by the warm and enthusiastic greeting at check-in....I have stayed at plenty of 5 star properties and the genuine smiles and attention to our concerns rival anything... More

The suite was lovely and the walk on the canal was so relaxing. We visited for the 1/2 marathon. The staff was so accomodating to the runners and their families: maps, bananas, carb meal the night before. Plus our room on the 4th floor overlooking the canal was incredibly quiet! Standard breakfast in the morning. You can't beat this location,... More

For those playing at home, this past weekend Indianapolis hosted the Mini-Marathon. We welcomed runners with bananas, clif bars, and water in their rooms in addition to hosting a complimentary carb dinner the night before the race. It was an especially exhilerating time for our property, and luckily went as smoothly as we had planned! I could not be more... More

We came up to spend 3 nights for a short Spring Break trip. We have 2 young children, and we came up to go to the children's museum. I made my reservation, and I emailed the manager, Katie, to request a kid friendly room that was close to the pool. Katie exceeded my requests, and we had a GREAT time.... More

I was in town for business and stayed two nights in the Residence Inn. Overall, I was extremely pleased with the accommodations and the service. Didn't care much for the $19/day charge for on site parking, but otherwise, I can't think of any other potential negatives. I was greeted by Bryan upon checking in. He was friendly and helpful.

I stayed at this property with my husband for a birthday weekend celebration, and we chose this hotel based on all the positive reviews. It did not disappoint.

We stayed at the Residence Inn on the Canal during the regional NCAA tournament. We were very impressed with not only the hotel but everyone that worked there! The area is beautiful and you could not ask for more in a hotel. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so great!

I read several very positive reviews for this hotel before making my selection..
