5 best hotels with free parking in Indianapolis

Hotels with free parking in Indianapolis are ideal for travellers who want the freedom of arriving by car without budgeting for daily garage fees. In this Midwestern city, keeping parking costs down is especially valuable when your itinerary includes major venues and busy downtown events around Monument Circle.

A smart strategy is to base yourself in neighbourhoods with easy access to the freeway network, then drive where you need to. For a social, walkable stay, Broad Ripple (six miles north of downtown) suits couples, groups and restaurant-lovers who still want convenient parking as a backup (broadrippleindy.org; visitindy.com). If you prefer a quieter, historic feel close to downtown, Old Northside is a great fit—best for those who like leafy residential streets and a more local atmosphere.

When choosing “free parking” hotels, look for properties that clearly include complimentary on-site parking (rather than vague “parking available” phrasing), typically with spaces suited to longer stays or visitors returning late. These options suit road trips, family breaks and event weekends where you want to come and go easily.

Examples from our bookable inventory include Mansion On The Mile B&B, Looking Glass Inn, and Old Northside Bed & Breakfast for stays in established areas, while Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis South and Home2 Suites by Hilton Indianapolis South Greenwood work well for drivers prioritising straightforward access.
