If you're looking for a place to stay in Indianapolis, make sure you don't simply pick a place at random. Although it is not as big as Chicago or New York, Indianapolis is a sprawling city and it can take a lot of time to get from place to place if you don't plan accordingly. So if you're looking to check out the racing at the Speedway, try to pick a hotel that's either nearby or has easy access to the turnpike that loops around the city.
