We do not typically seek out Holiday Inns, but this is obviously a relatively new hotel located across from the Ft. Wayne Coliseum. It appears to be a base of operations for those attending major Coliseum events. While the first floor public areas, such as the bar, were crowded and noisy, our 5th-floor room was very quiet. Room decor was... More

I do not usually stay at Holiday Inns but I'd been driving for a long time, spotted this one, stopped, and was glad that I did so. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and I was soon in a large room with a king-size bed in which I slept very well indeed. Everything was clean and in good order.... More

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

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 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
