Any Indianapolis folk out there?

My mom has decided that we're all going on a family vacation to Indianapolis in June. So I'm helping her look for lodging kinda near the children's museum and could use some pointers. Right now we're looking at around eleven hundred bucks for what we need but if it's worth it, then it's ok. We have me, the bf and my two boys, my sister, her husband and their two, and mom and Ethan. I'd appreciate any advice and assistance. The only thing that's a real requirement is a good pool.

I was in Indy a few years ago, and stayed at Crowne Plaza...which is in the old train station downtown. It's within walking distance of several restaurants, plus there's a parking garage across the street. Indy Speedway (and museum) is a short drive away, as is the zoo.

Good place to stay if you've got a fuel pump that's deceased.

I just saw this. I recently found out that Indy has the 3rd highest taxes on hotel rooms in the country. Make sure you are factoring that in when making your plans.
