It's not terrible, but it's not exactly as good as you'd expect. The rooms are small, and seating is a desk chair and a fabric wingback. A couch would have been much nicer.
The bathroom has a sink with little space for toiletries, the shower is anemic, and the cleaning staff is pretty confused about the number of towels, soap, etc. It seems there isn't a checklist.
The bed was not very comfortable, but the real problem with sleeping was the HV/AC being incredibly...read full review
I worked here for 3 days. Those 3 days the housekeeping manager talked about every employee to every other employee. Then I never got paid. They sent me a W-2, I called to let them know I never received a paycheck. Guess what? Their "GM" still hasn't called back. It's been almost 3 weeks. So I let the BBB and the IRS know they were lying. I was never paid.

Poindexter is a college-centered bar and coffee shop located inside the Hilton Graduate Hotel, primarily frequented by local students and visitors to the University of Indiana. The atmosphere has changed after a remodel; it used to have more comfortable seating options, but now features mainly high tops, making it often loud and less ideal for relaxing conversations unless one is wearing headphones. Despite that, it remains a decent place for studying and downtime, especially for those seeking a quiet environment, as there is no loud music, allowing for easy conversation.
The decor is eclectic, with many small, interesting pieces hidden around the space. The layout can be confusing, with a small bar, an unattended baked goods display, and a counter for ordering food that sometimes requires self-service when food is ready. The menu offers a mix of food and drinks, including vegan tenders, which are highly praised for tasting close to real chicken tenders, and sweet potato fries. The food is generally considered good but heavy, with limited options for lighter meals and salads that leave something to be desired. The coffee and espresso drinks are excellent, and staff are described as kind and efficient.
The cafe also offers seasonal drinks like the Sincronici-tea, a white chocolate blueberry matcha latte with cashew milk, though some find the matcha flavor subtle. Prices are slightly high, and presentation can be improved, as cookies and drinks often come in takeout containers. Overall, Poindexter is appreciated for its relaxed, quiet environment and quality beverages, though the food experience varies.
