    Renata's was perfect for an overnight stay in Indianapolis. Renata is a wonderful hostess. The breakfast was excellent. It was hard to get up and leave. I would highly recommend this place to others.

    Comfortable and quiet

    February 10, 2013

    Renata, the owner, is a sweetheart. She made sure I was comfortable and that all my needs were met. Renata is a gracious host that runs a very neat, clean, comfortable establishment. The breakfast was superb and talking with her about Germany was a delight. I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast and plan on staying here again myself.

    Great family inn

    December 19, 2012

    We stayed 4 days with our 6 kids, while visiting family nearby. We'll probably come again in the future. Very reasonable rates. Very flexible, helpful innkeeper; friendly, accomodating, kind. Loved the breakfasts. Nights were quiet and sleep was peaceful.

    Home away from home for the National FFA Convention

    November 02, 2012

    What a great idea having all the kids in one place, without having to worry about them roaming the halls of some motel. We booked the entire bed and breakfast, woke up to a great breakfast, juice, and coffee every morning and had a comfortable warm living room with a big screen LCD TV, couches and chairs to relax in at night. Truly a home away from home. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, and the beds were fantastic, memory foam for each. Each room additionally had a TV in it with all the cable channels you could need. I recommend this for any group travelling with kids or teenagers, worry free and the best part? It was cheaper then any hotel we considered staying in.

    Great Stay

    September 23, 2012

    We stayed for one night here while at a Marriage Conference. We enjoyed our stay. The owners greeted us when we arrived and accommodated our needs for an earlier breakfast. The room was clean and had just what you needed. We stayed in the Romantic Room. This B&B is in a great location, right off the interstate and close to the airport and other activities. We would recommend this B&B.

    Always a treat to stay at Renate's!

    July 05, 2012

    Renate's is such a "welcome-home" place to stay when we come visit our kids as they attend college in Indy. My husband and I stay here, or if I am traveling alone, Renate and I get extra time to visit and catch up. Each of the rooms is based on a different theme, which she carries through with every little thing - American, Indiana, Romantic, or German (complete with American and German Bibles). Tonight, she had ice-cold lemonade, fabulous white cheddar cheese, and sweet red grapes waiting for me after my long drive. Breakfast is always great, whether it is European meats, cheeses, fruits, and crusty rolls or a yummy egg and meat dish or German sweet treat straight from the oven. She really knows how to make coffee also!! If I'm in a rush to the airport, she fixes a "to-go" bag. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Indy.

    Five Stars Are Not Enough!

    June 17, 2012

    What a wonderful experience! My friend and I were passing through on our way to Virginia and I am so happy we decided to stop here! The hostess was so pleasant and offered us the kitchen! The other guests were also very kind as we all sat and had some tea. The rooms were quaint and cozy. It is obvious that the perfect woman for the job found her calling. I would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling through. She even has a gated in, flowered and herbed garden for children that might be staying, and a patio for parents to sit and relax!

    Service and Online Information Could Use Some Work

    June 05, 2012

    When you check out the website a lot of information about the room sizes, including bathroom size and the bed sizes are lacking. This was driven home when we stayed in "The Romantic Room" and discovered a small bed for two, perhaps a full size bed, and a very tiny bathroom with a shower that was barely functional. Sure it looked romantic but I can't imagine doing much "romance" in the room. There were extra blankets and pillows and the window air conditioner allowed us a lot of control over the environment though the fan had to be on to circulate the air to the other side of the bed. The TV in the room wasn't terrible large but it was high up and easy to see. Out in the hallway was a frig with extra bottles of water and soft drinks as well as a bowl of candy and extras you might need for the bathrooms such as shampoo. That was a thoughtful touch. There were also extra towels in the hallway which proved to be important since the bathroom and bedroom did not appear to have been cleaned while we were gone during the day before returning at night. Breakfast was a choice between American and European styles and we sampled both. The Innkeeper was very friendly and chatty while she cooked for us but the food was fairly average in terms of quality. While she paid attention to our allergies she didn't ask about other foods we might or might not like. Her friends dropped in every morning making it feel less like a B&B and more like someone's house. That friendly at-home atmosphere can be the highlight for some travelers. You get a feeling of being welcomed though not of being pampered. Given the price it was reasonable though a bit disappointing. Finding the place is odd because it stands out like a beacon in an otherwise rundown neighborhood. It is near a very, very nice restaurant and not far from the airport or the race track.
