Cheerleaders and cheer fans alike should rest easier knowing we have some great Indianapolis hotel packages for them. With the World Spirit Federation Indy Showdown coming up, look no further for a better hotel deal. The Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Indianapolis can give you what you need. Because the hotel is located in the same area as the competition, you'll have an easy trek to it and won't have to spend too long traveling. We know how important it is for participants, judges, and interested family members to get to the Convention Center without any problems. We also provide some space if you're looking to use an Indianapolis meeting hotel simply to get together with other participants and interested parties before the Indy Showdown.

If you're just now hearing about this event, you should know that you and your team of cheerleaders or dancers can participate if you register and pay at least eight days before the event! The competition features categories for both dance and cheer and great seating for anyone who wants to witness it. The Indy Showdown 2013 takes place from December 21st until the 22nd of this year. While registrants have to pay to participate, spectators get in free. Since the event lasts a full two days, starting to look for hotels near Indianapolis Convention Center is a good idea. Luckily, we are located so close to the arena that it's worthwhile to look into our current Indianapolis hotel packages, especially if you want to see who will qualify for the United States All Star Federation.
 

Who doesn't love the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon? Well, we sure do and we're right on the same block as the event passes through. For an Indianapolis area hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn has a great view of what's going on.

Registrations started January 3rd but run up until November 1st, the day before the marathon. If you want the cheapest priced entry, buy yours as soon as possible. At the same time, you can reserve a room with us so you're not stranded without one. Remember, the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon attracts a lot of entrants and even sold out last year! You don't want to be the only one stuck without your entry or a place to stay. Here are the registration periods and registration prices:

• January 3rd through May 9th, $65 for half, $80 for full

If you're a Taylor Swift fan or a Justin Bieber fan, then there's no doubt that you probably already have tickets to their concerts in Indy this year.  However, if you are not from the Indianapolis area, then you might be looking for a place to crash after (or before) the concert.  Or perhaps you're already in town, but want to make a weekend of it with a staycation.  Our Indianapolis area hotel is the perfect spot, since we are centrally located downtown.

Here are more details about this year's big concerts at Bankers Life Fieldhouse:
