The hotel was in a great location for what we needed access to (Coliseum). It is not really close to main highways. There is no continental breakfast, but there is a restaurant where kids can eat for free (under 12). The overall hotel was nice and new. The fitness center looked nice and the indoor pool was adequate. There is... More

We really liked the bed. The room was very clean. The bathroom was nice with a walk in shower - no tub. The shower head is high which is great for tall people like us. Unfortunately we were there on the weekend with sports teams. The team parents sat in the lobby and had a BYOB party while the kids... More

While in Fort Wayne for business, I have stayed at the Holiday Inn IPFW numerous times over the past 2 years. Before deciding to give them my business on a permanent basis, I made it a point to test out other hotels in the city. By far, this Holiday Inn has consistently exceeded my expectations for customer service, cleanliness, and... More

I booked this hotel online and called them three times prior to my arrival to check that there would be a microwave and fridge in my room. I also booked the complimentary airport pick up and when I tried to book the return was told I could do that the day before my departure. As it turned out my flight... More

Usually stay at Hilton when I have to come to Fort Wayne. The staff at that hotel was highly recommending going to the Holiday Inn for dinner last Tuesday which really says a lot. The local university took over the restaurant which seemed to have been another mediocre hotel restaurant. The students redecorated and did a great menu. I had... More

The hotel was full, so there was no early check-in (trying at 1:30)...not even check in and pick up the key later. Apparently all of the rooms would be magically clean at the same time, 3 p.m. We have stayed here for several years and we were spoiled to being able to check in prior to 3. No big deal.... More

Great hotel, clean, friendly staff, good value for your money. Pool had a bit too much chlorine but water was warm. The breakfast is okay for a buffett. This location is great if your visiting attractions on the north side of the city. Lots of places to eat close by.
