Well appointed room, and bed was very comfortable. Both room, hallway, and entrance look well maintained and inviting. Staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated the easy check out process on the TV. Only one negative: a senior citizen like myself would appreciate a taller toilet in non-handicapped rooms.

The sink in the bathroom doesn’t drain. The smoke detector went off at random times on Friday night, and most of Saturday until they physically removed it from our room. I would think a regular I’m WITH a working smoke detector would’ve been the way to go but it was not offered.

The beds were super comfy, room was nice and water pressure was great! First room had a slight odor but I had a cold the first two nights so it didn’t bother me much. 3rd night I asked to be moved to another room and the front desk clerk was so nice. I think his name was Jeff? Beautiful arm tats. Got me in a different room that smelled much better. Bed still comfy and breakfast was really good. Little short lady in kitchen area was adorable and just as sweet as she could be! Wonderful stay and I will make this my go-to when I fly into Fort Wayne for work.
