Stayed here for two nights, while attending a conference. The taxi trip to the hotel at 9:30 pm cost about $14, although the taxi had trouble deciding how to get there due to the one way streets....so the cost could have been slightly less. On the way back, the door-man suggested I take the limo waiting, rather than the three taxi's around the corner....he said it was the same price. However, at the airport the limo driver said it was $20. So I'm not too happy with that. I did notice an Indigo Hotel newspaper (ie. USA Today with an Indigo Hotel sticker on it) inside the limo, so I assume they work together somehow.
The room is quite nice. It is very spacious considering this is a downtown hotel. The bathroom was large, as was the walk-in shower...no tub, but not a problem for me. The ammenities were nice, and the room was clean. The overall layout was also nice, and different with a curved wall, from other hotel rooms. I didn't realize this was part of the ICH chain (ie. Holiday Inn, Crowne plaza). The bed quality seemed to be OK. For whatever reason, I just didn't sleep very well, with the room being too hot or too cold depending on when the HVAC system kicked in.
The front desk staff was very friendly, and showed a lot of energy. They seem to know other guests by name, so I think they pay attention to those people staying longer. The WiFi worked nicely. The login was easy, and you could connect both laptops and Blackberries at the same time....other hotels may only allow you to log in using one piece of electronics per room.
The distance to the convention centre was about a 10 minute walk. It's also a 10 minute walk to Horton Plaza, and just five three streets away from the gas lamp district. So overall, I would say this is very convenient if you are attending a conference.

DBM24,
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate your compliments of our room style & large bathrooms. We are especially proud of your comments about our staff though as each individual is chosen for their passion & personality. We apologize for the issue with the town car driver. They are not affiliated with Hotel Indigo in any way but we have since spoken with them to rectify this in the future. Thank you again & we look forward to seeing you back again!
