Pint-sized Goa is more than beaches and trance parties. A kaleidoscopic blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures, sweetened with sun, sea, sand, seafood and spirituality, there’s nowhere in India quite like it.
Beach Bounty
Goa’s biggest draw is undoubtedly its virtually uninterrupted string of golden-sand beaches. This shimmering strand stretches along the Arabian Sea from the tip to the toe of the state, and each of the various beaches have developed their own personalities and reputations since the hippie days of the sixties. They cater to every tropical whim: choose from backpacker Arambol or bolder, brasher Baga; from the palm-fringed sands of Palolem to hippie market bliss at Anjuna or lovely, laid-back Mandrem; from expansive groomed sands in front of fancy five-star resorts or hidden crescent coves, where the only footprints will be the scuttling crabs’ and your own.
Spiritual Sanctuary
Want to top up your Zen as well as your tan? Welcome to winter in Goa where yoga is king and the crop of spiritual activities grows more bountiful each year: sunrise t’ai chi sessions, reiki healing courses, meditation, and just about every other form of spiritual exploration, are all practised freely. Many travellers come here for a serious yoga experience and you’ll find everything from drop-in classes to teaching training courses and spiritual retreats.
The Spice of Life
Food is enjoyed fully in Goa, as it is throughout India. The scents, spices and flavours of Goa’s cuisine will surprise and tantalise even seasoned travellers: whether it’s a classic fish curry rice, a morning bhali-pau (bread roll dipped in curry), a piquant vindaloo, with its infusions of wine vinegar and garlic, or a spicy xacuti sauce, the Indo-Portuguese influence is a treat for the tastebuds. While you’re here, visit a back-country spice farm to learn why the Portuguese were so excited about Goa.
Cultural Crockpot
Goa stands out in India for its Portuguese colonial architecture and heritage. The Portuguese arrived in Goa in 1510, lured by the exotic East and the promise of lucrative spice routes. Their indelible mark is still evident in the state’s baroque architecture, whitewashed churches, crumbling forts, colourful Catholic ceremonies, mournful fado music and the stunning cathedrals of Old Goa.

I didn't eat breakfast but the location was ok it was to much construction going on downtown which you had to detour
Room was big and comfortable, hotel was large and well run
The breakfast buffet was fantastic! They had fresh waffles with a slew of flavored butters, pastries, organic sausage, homemade granola, oh my! The beds were extremely soft and the room had a nice view. The skywalk to the convention center was very convenient. Also the elevators were a lot of fun.

The view from the room was great. Staff were fantastic and accommodating.
The beds and pillows are super comfortable. The room layout is really good. The elevators, lobby and hallways are very well maintained with a modern look. It also has a convenience store within. It makes a big difference when arriving late and restaurants around are closed. Also, you can get some toiletries in there.
Very bad experience, will never think about it at all. Very very very dirty bathroom never saw such a thing before very dirty room. Not a sheraton level at all

The location was fantastic central downtown. Beds were really comfy, room well laid out and enough space for 2 adults. We were snowed in for a day so made use of the hotel facilities including gym and pool. Also a nice bar and cafe within the hotel. Staff were friendly
Big, clean room. Great staff. Comfortable beds. Perfect for the football game we were in town to see.
The hotel is in walking distance of shops and restaurants of downtown Indy.

We liked everything from staff (A+), location, parking, accommodations, breakfast, location to adjacent restaurant and Indy Skywalk.
very close to Colts and Pacers stadiums and the city center
