Stayed here for a single night while a friend and I went to a concert. The entire place looked newly remodeled and very clean. Our room had two quenn beds and both appeared to be freshly made and in good condition. We did not use the pool or hot tub, so I can't comment on their quality, but the breakfast... More

Was not impressed by this hotel. We stayed this past weekend, April 6th. Hotel smelled musty. Beds were terrible - very hard and I could feel the springs underneath me. Rooms were very noisy - could hear the traffic going at all hours, could hear conversations in other rooms, and other things. Beds were very squeaky...We barely got any sleep.... More

my husband and I just stayed there Feb 22 2013 and it was by far the worst hotel. It was clean and excellent price. BUT the house keeping was awful at supplying the needs of everyone. The girls at the desk were very unprofessional and the beds there were so hard they hurt our backs. I went without toilet paper... More

We just got home from a weekend here. We were in town for a concert at the Fort Wayne War Memorial Coliseum and wanted to save some money. Since they were newly renovated, we thought we'd give it a try. Well, we got to the hotel after the concert and checked in. The girl, nice enough, gave us a room... More

I reserved 2 rooms for a fun family trip and was told we could check in anytime even as early as 9:30AM. Once we arrived around 11:00AM to check in the lady at the front desk informed me that we could get our room keys but our rooms would not be available until after 3PM. What is the point in... More

Front desk clerk was asleep in an office chair, not quite out of sight. Then, he gave me a dirty room. The 2nd room was nice, twin queens, not pillowtop though. No fridge or microwave in room. Priced in the mid $60s. A decent value and location for the price. But I've had better for the same rate.

This was a very nice hotel for a low price. The rooms were clean and in good shape. It is obvious that there has been some renovation. The breakfast was really paltry, but other than that I would recommend this hotel.
