YMCA
We’re pleased to offer a $10 day pass for our guests to use at the Irsay Family YMCA. As part of the Cityway campus, it’s convenient to our hotel and features a state-of-the-art Wellness Center and two indoor pools – a 25-yard lap pool and a warm water therapy/recreational pool.
Noble of Indiana
We are proud to have added to our art collection through Noble of Indiana, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities experience the same opportunities we all enjoy. Noble helps those they serve develop an action plan that aligns community-focused services with their unique dreams and goals. Many thanks to the Buckingham Foundation for helping us secure these special pieces for our hotel.
