***If you call the phone numbers instead of using the online links, a helpful hint is to enter “0” when the automated system answers. If you enter “0”, you will be connected to an offsite reservation agent who you will need to tell that you are calling for the “Marine Corps Meeting” or “Marine Corps” group rate.

Both locations offer free parking and a complimentary airport shuttle. The Indianapolis International Airport is just five minutes away and serves all major airlines. Plainfield is approximately 10 miles west of downtown Indianapolis, the home to the largest collection of monuments dedicated to veterans and war casualties in the U.S., outside of Washington, D.C.

The hotels are located in the Shops at Perry Crossing. The Banquet, with open seating for the buffet, will be at the CRG Event Center directly across from the hotels.
