Comfort Suites Indianapolis South is a newer hotel, opened in 2008. While the name indicates suites, I'm not sure I would really call the rooms suites. They are indeed spacious and boast a pull-out sofa, chair, coffee table, and small work desk. There is a small refrigerator and a microwave. The space that the king sized bed is in is quite small, with a chest of drawers and an LCD television mounted above it. While I wouldn't really call the rooms at Comfort Suites Indianapolis South suites per se, they are very nice rooms. They are spacious enough to not feel cramped, are very clean, and well decorated. The lovely granite-like shower and sink in the bathroom and in-room coffee maker are nice additions.

Comfort Suites Indianapolis South offers a free continental breakfast for guests. Available at the Comfort Suites Indianapolis South breakfast were cold cereals, oatmeal packets, apples, oranges, and bananas, a few pastries, donuts, and muffins, and hot eggs and sausage patties for making breakfast sandwiches. Milk, coffee, tea, and two kinds of juice were also available. The Comfort Suites Indianapolis South continental breakfast was pretty tasty and a nice amenity.

Since we were traveling to the area with our 3 year old son, we took advantage of the Comfort Suites Indianapolis South indoor swimming pool. The pool was clean, with plenty of seating around it, and towels available. The pool was heated, though still pretty chilly. The pool at the Comfort Suites Indianapolis South was very tiny. When we visited there were four adults and three children in the pool. No more people could have possibly fit in the pool and been comfortable.

The staff at the Comfort Suites Indianapolis South was extremely helpful and friendly. We did not encounter a single person at the hotel that was anything but professional and warm.
