“Unprofessional, erronous and absent.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I had several collegues that I was travelling with for business purposes. We had made reservations this past Thursday for four rooms. When we arrived, the front desk was vacant. There was no bell or anything to summon assistance. When someone did show up, the person behaved quite rudely. She asked about my reservation and I told her that I had four rooms and the rate at which it was reserved at. She said that the reservation was for Friday and was for a price $200 more. I showed her my printout of when I reserved it. She refused to adjust the rate. She also stated that the rooms would not be ready on Friday until after 3pm. I called for the manager. A woman came out and introduced herself by the name of Rachel. She had brownish-red curly hair. I told her my situation and she acted even more unprofessional. She said had I showed up on the day of my reservation, they could actually do something. I showed her my printout and told her that I did. I even pointed the price and that the woman behind the desk was $200 higher than what I reserved. She refused to assist me until I came back on Friday. I had to tell my collegues and we chose to stay at the Marriott on Coldwater just north of Walmart instead. They were much more professional and resonable about their reservation.

Room Tip: Stay at the Marriott on Coldwater instead.

“Couldn't ask for more.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2011

It was a bit of a flying visit, so I didn't use any facilities. The handicapped room was sufficient, although a wheelchair user may find getting on to the chair in the tub a little difficult.
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the wi-fi was sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and if I was in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay.

“Rude front desk”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I had stayed at this location just a few months ago and everything was wonderful. This time however was no where near acceptable. The young girl at the front desk was extremely rude and much more concerned with the gentleman who was also at the front desk than any questions or concerns of mine. I will not be returning.

“Best location for IPFW”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011

Started staying here when they first opened a couple years ago. Very nice, clean. Personal all seem friendly and helpful. Ideal location for the college and the sport complex across the street.
Nice pool and hot tub but this place seems to always be busy on weekends so get ready for a ton of kids.
Full service restaurant but I would rate the food ok. Nothing special.
Traveled with my dog this past weekend and this hotel was the only one I could find with a pet policy that was reasonable. $25.00 one time charge per stay. The Marriott wanted $100.00.

“Best Hotel in Fort Wayne”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed at this hotel 4 times in the last two months so I thought it was time I reviewed it. This hotel is super clean. The first time I was in Fort Wayne was after driving 7 hours and we arrived at the hotel at 9 am and were able to check in with no problem. I work midnights so it is sometimes difficult to find a hotel that will allow an early check in. My co-worker and I probably looked pretty rough so they may have adjusted their policy because we sincerely looked like we needed sleep. I've since stayed there every time that I have been in Fort Wayne and wouldn't stay anywhere else. I've stayed in various rooms and they have all been exceptionally clean. I used to work in hotels and am particular about where I stay and I haven't been disappointed in this hotel yet. The rooms are well appointed with nice mattresses and a 37 or 42 inch LG. Bathrooms have granite sinks and the showers have excellent water pressure with adjustable shower heads. They have a decent exercise room and pool. Haven't used either but nice that they are there in case I would like to use them. Can't give a review on the restaurant-haven't eaten there. The location is good, plenty of gas stations, restaurants, banks and a mall within a mile. Only downer is that every time I go, I get a call or knock from a housekeeper that fails to see or ignores my do not disturb sign. That being said, I've never complained to management about it but I'm sure if I did it would be addressed.
