Wonderful historic hotel on an old army base
We stayed at the Kendall Inn (Fort Harrison State Park Inn) on our way from Virginia to Iowa. We love to stay at historic hotels and this one has lots of history. The Inn is in the Fort Harrison state park, which is the grounds of the former Fort Benjamin Harrison, an army fort that opened in 1906. The army fort was an infantry training group and housed prisoners of war during World War I. Then, it was a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp between the two World Wars. During World War II, the fort reached its peak capacity, serving as the largest draft inductee and reception center in the US, processing millions of soldiers. During this time, the current inn continued to operate as a large army hospital (Billings General Hospital) and also housed prisoners of war. During the early 1950s, the building operated as the fort headquarters. The fort was closed in 1991, and the building was sold and operated as a private hotel before being purchased by the state of Indiana, which reopened it as the Fort Harrison Inn. Our room was very large, with a large ensuite bathroom, and a small sitting area. The furniture was perfect for the hotel as it was furnished with large wooden pieces, which fit in perfectly with the inn's history. The bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows, and the room had a small refrigerator, which also had a small freezer compartment, as well as a desk and chair. One of the elevators in the inn is interesting as it is narrow and long--perfect for a hospital stretcher. Breakfast was included and was your standard hotel fare--yogurt, a couple of hot entrees, muffins, etc., but it is served in a really nice breakfast room. Admission to the state park is included with your stay. The park includes 14 miles of hiking trails and seven miles of mountain biking trails. There are picnic areas, and a golf course (separate fees). There are also several other historic buildings from the army fort era in the state park. We would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend it to anyone passing through Indianapolis!!

A walk in Park
Fort Harrison State Park Inn is beautiful & historic. Room was very comfortable, clean, & quiet each night. Great continental breakfast each morning before a hike in the park. We give it a 5⭐️.

Super stay
We were in Indianapolis on Dec 4th. We had to check in about 9 o’clock and were greeted by a very helpful young man. The room we were given was unbelievable. The entire room was perfect. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The breakfast was great. We will return if ever back in the area.

Nice stay at the inn
We had a very nice stay at the inn. It is a 1 minute drive over to the state park where there are lovely trails and you get in free with your room key. Also close to restaurants. We ate in the Thai and Mexican restaurants and they were great. There’s also an ice cream place next to the Thai restaurant. The room was nice and big and clean with a big bathroom. The continental breakfast was simple but good.

A very bad experience
This past week the wife and I stayed at the hotel as we have many times in the past. We checked in with the reservation that we had made and were given the room card. We went to the room and dropped all of our baggage so that we could visit our son who lives 20 minutes from the hotel. My wife got a call stating that we were placed in the wrong room and that they wanted to transfer our baggage which my wife agreed to. When my wife told me what had happened I told her to immediately call the hotel that because I had a firearm I was reluctant to let anyone else move our baggage. When I got to the hotel I got one of the luggage room carts and immediately went to the room where we had been placed only to discover we were already locked out of said room, imagine my rage. I remained calm and let the desk let us in the room so we could collect our belongings and were transferred just down the hall to a room that was so small your knees were against the shower enclosure when using the commode and your arm was bumping the door when you were standing at the sink. This was nothing like the rooms that we were familiar with when staying at the hotel in the past. Next year the wife and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and we planned friends and family from Ohio to stay at the hotel to share that celebration with us. I can tell you that after this experience we will not be returning to the hotel, period. Such a shame to treat returning customers in this manner.
Very good location
