The Nestle Inn

We had a family emergency in town that was very late minute. We're so grateful the inn had space for us and were able to accommodate my older mothers physical limitation offering a private room at the last minute. The house is beautiful and the room clean and spacious and thoughtfully fitted for a stay. The breakfast next door at Henry's was greatly appreciated and an unexpected perk. Parking was convenient and just a block away. Though we weren't in town for pleasure the inn is located in a great, walkable area with many bars and restaurants - outdoor dining with streets closed to accommodate the pandemic. The owners live just down the street so as a bed and breakfast you don't feel as though you're invading someone's living room.

Myself and 3 girlfriends stayed overnight on a Saturday in room 6 (the entire 3rd floor penthouse/apt). It was warm and cozy, very spread out and open! The beds were amazing! We arrived early, prior to checkin and were allowed to put our luggage in the room! The location is perfect for shopping, dining, and nightlife! It was quiet, except for the laughing coming from our suite! This will be an annual stay for us girls!

This is the cutest bed and breakfast! We stayed here on a work trip and took over most of the rooms. There were cozy robes that we all put on and then we gathered in the kitchen to enjoy snacks and wine we brought. The rooms and common spaces are beautiful, clean and very cozy. This b&b is also in the PERFECT location, as it's in walking distance of one of Indy's coolest streets, Mass Ave. There are a ton of restaurants, bars, local shops, a new food hall, coffee shops and more that you'll have direct access to without needing to drive. It's a safe area and there's even a wonderful restaurant across the street. The owner here is also amazing and so wonderful to work with. There's also street parking out front.I did four stars because I shared a room with someone else and ended up in a twin bed that was pretty hard. That could be easily fixed with a padded mattress topper to prevent from soreness the next day. Bonus: They also have cooking classes here that I've heard are wonderful!

My coworkers and I were only in Indy for two days for a planning retreat, with one night at The Nestle Inn. But in that time, the inn became familiar, warm and home-like. I know this sounds a bit crazy but just trust me on this.I arrived at around 11 a.m. to find our rooms not quite ready yet, but one of the employees checked me in quickly and held my bag for me, delivering it to my room so it was there when I returned. And when I came back, I found a room that was a bit rustic but not dated. It was simple and comfy -- and very relaxing. In particular, I liked:* free wifi that works very well! * several outlets right next to the bed for any phones or laptops that need a charge.* awesome smelling lotion and soap in the bathroom. * quiet rooms. Some B&Bs I've been at have had very thin walls. Despite a full inn, I never heard the other guests while in my room. * a warm bed. The mattress was a little hard but still comfortable. The lovely inn keeper also let my coworkers and I hang out in the spacious downstairs kitchen after a day of working. We snacked, chatted and played a game just like we were staying over at a friend's house. (I know this makes it sound like we're teenagers, though I assure you we're all adults. But hey, sometimes you need a night of gabbing and games with fun gals!) And then the next day, we worked for several hours in the kitchen. Coffee awaited us, as well as breakfast and carafes of water. We gathered around the large island, and again: comfort. I felt at home, though I wish my home was as nice as this. Some other pluses:* Free coffee in the morning. * This place is totes cute, with a piano and lots of books in the common areas. * Centrally located. There seems to be lots to walk to around the Inn. * You can get a voucher for breakfast during the week at a local cafe. * A parking voucher is also waiting for you, in case you don't want to park on the street. * The Inn also hosts cooking classes in the straight-out-of-a-movie kitchen. The Nestle Inn takes the comforts of home and bumps them up a notch. I hope I get to stay there the next time I'm in Indy.

I've always wanted to play tourist in my own city and this past week I finally had the opportunity thanks to hosting a summit gathering for my team at Nestle Inn. From booking (nearly) the entire Inn to having the morning croissants and quiche delivered by Coat Check Coffee down the street, the process was seamless. Nestle Inn has been on my Indy bucket list for quite some time. Located less than a block off Mass Ave, this cozy bed and breakfast is within arms reach of TONS of local eateries and shops. On top of the Mass Ave amenities, you're leasing than a mile from the heart of downtown, Monument Circle and the Wholesale District. A perfect stroll up Mass Ave and you're there. I had the pleasure of experiencing the top floor mini apartment that offers a small side room with two twin beds (great for bachelorette parties). The rooms are well decorated and clean. Mini kitchen and two entrances to the bathroom are available in this room. I cannot recommend the Inn for team retreats enough. Note that they also offer cooking classes...and leopard robes...and easy/free street and private lot parking less than a block away. Insider tip: Check in on Yelp for ten percent off your room! The cherry on top? Lesa, the marvelous owner.

This isn't a Hilton, an Airbnb, or boutique hotel. It's something so much more. Don't walk in and expect to see the most updated furniture or a big screen TV. Walk in and expect to feel like you just walked into your Grandma's house and you're about to get spoiled for a weekend.After a long day of training, walking in the door and being greeted by a small tray of butter bars, however small a detail, felt so personal and thoughtful. Each morning I woke, I could smell the coffee brewing on the small table right outside my room. I could open the door, pour myself a cup and snag a piece of the dark chocolate sitting in a small glass container next to the coffee. There's something so simple and so authentic about Nestle inn that makes it an asset to Indianapolis. These are the kind of personal touches that you'll never get in a hotel. If you want to stay somewhere with less flash and more charm, look no further.

There are SOOOO many pros to staying at the Nestle Inn, so let's get started. 1) Centrally located, and has decent amount of street parking nearby. Drop your car, your stuff, and walk to explore all things Indy! 2) Are you like me and afraid of B & B's with old pink dust ruffles and a collection of weird salt and pepper shakers shaped like animals starting at you? This is NOTHING like that -- it looks like it's straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie! You know - It's Complicated, the Holiday, Something's Gotta Give. No you don't know? Ok let me explain it... it's a HUGE historic home that has recently been renovated and turned into a contemporary B & B with a beautiful soothing color palate of greys and whites. Straight up cathartic. (PS the Christmas decor is up right now and it is also GORG!)3) The owner is very accommodating. We were staying for a mini conference and she arranged for everything we needed to feel comfortable AND productive. The kitchen island was especially fun to sit around for meetings and a team bonding game night. 4) My room was HUGE and comfy. A clawfoot tub AND a little fireplace? #Winning! Gah - take me back to when this was a thing in every house. I loved the warmth and the crackling of the little fire as I went to bed. It was so relaxing. Overall, the Nestle Inn manages to be cozy and contemporary with modern amenities - which is what I personally look for in a B & B. Look no further, your decision is made.

I was visiting Indy for a couple of days due to a work conference and I was put up in this adorable bed and breakfast for my stay. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by how rustic and cozy the place was, literally from the moment I walked in the door!Once I made my way through downtown Indy, I eventually found a free parking spot out front, introduced myself to the innkeeper, and got my keys. Now, I arrived a short while before checkout so the staff held my belongings and secured them in my room until I returned later that evening. I was staying on the very top floor, suite six I do believe. It ended up being almost like a mini apartment settled on the third floor of the Inn. You walk up the stairs to find a giant king sized bed. It had a TV mounted on the wall, bedside tables, and tons (I mean TONS) of space. There was a bathroom, of course. It had a tall shower and a bathtub. There was even a kitchen with all of your expected necessities. There was a dining table and lounge area with a couch, coffee table and everything! I was really blown away by how comfortable the room was. It was so big and cozy! I also really enjoyed looking out the big windows to see a little bit of Indy. Oh - there was also a side room attached. It had two twin beds and a separate entrance, although it did share the bathroom. Two of my coworkers stayed in there for the night and I never heard a peep out of them. During the day my coworkers and I spent a lot of time in the spacious and lovely kitchen area. We had breakfast catered from a local restaurant, sipped on hazelnut coffee, and cranked out a bunch of work. Overall, this was the perfect place to stay for a night in Indy. Our hosts were so very friendly and the inn provided everything I needed to have an enjoyable time. If I find myself back in the state again, I'd be happy to book another room!

This review is for a cooking class I attended; I didn't stay overnight, but will definitely be keeping The Nestle Inn in mind the next time someone asks about lodging options downtown! The theme of the class was the Foods of New Orleans; the menu included crawfish etouffee, shrimp po boys, and beignets. The experience was very much like hanging out in a friend's kitchen (a friend who is a great cook mind you...), chatting with them while they cook, and pitching in as needed; in other words, very relaxed and informal! Leesa, the owner was a great host, and had the fun task of keeping up with the dishes! Chef Anna was a great instructor, and selected recipes that I really feel like are realistic for all of us to make at home! We learned a lot about cooking techniques, and came away with some new skills and great recipes! The class ends with eating of course! We were able to enjoy the creations in the dining room of the Inn; the tables were decorated for Mardi Gras which was a nice touch! All of the dishes were delicious! I can't wait to try the recipes out at home!

Wonderful experience for a weekend in downtown Indianapolis. Walking distance to theater, unique shopping and great restaurants. Gracious host, superb accommodations, My grandchildren wanted to move in!
