I was at this location for a week for work. I will say hands down one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The staff 100/100. I can’t say anything bad about this establishment or the staff. Keep up the amazing work. If I come back to Ft. Wayne for work again I will definitely ask to come back here. Thank you for such a great visit.

Stayed here for 1 night needed a late checkout due to travel plans, and they were very accommodating. Room was pretty clean, nothing that would keep me from coming back. Location is also pretty good, its hear a busy intersection and not much for food is on the hotel side of the road other than a Golden Corral which is right next to the hotel. I would stay again!

While we had an issue during our stay and had to change rooms, the service we received during the experience was exceptional. Jackson was understanding and helpful, solicitous and fast acting. Because of him, we would return without question. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. While the hotel does not offer a free breakfast, the prices reflect that and the kitchens are well equipped for preparing food.
