    We had a great stay at The Bradley! We were in town for a conference and decided to stay downtown. The Bradley was a great choice because of its central location to fine dining and the best coffee shop ever (Kanela). The hotel is chic and youthfully decorated with deep, navy blues and bronze hardware. The public spaces were spotless! The Wi-Fi was a little slow, so don't plan on streaming anything, but as long as you have a Netflix login you'll be fine. We will definitely return the next time we're in town.

    More of this everywhere please. Feels so nice to be in a hotel that doesn't seem like a hotel. Loved all the prints everywhere. The parking is less than ideal but there is valet, and if you choose not to utilize it they're helpful with instructions to find your own parking. Breakfast not included but there is complimentary coffee (if you're up early enough for it 6-7). Overall enjoyed our stay at this cute spot.

    Great hotel in Forth Wayne. Love the location. The hotel is surrounded by few restaurants including one in the lobby. The rooms are clean and the hotel has boutique hotel feel to it. There is valet parking available plus some limited street parking surrounding the hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful.

    Love this hotel! Everyone here is so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Zack and Amber definitely go the extra mile. Birdies is a great rooftop bar with an awesome view of downtown. Arbor is a cozy breakfast spot. The food and drinks are top notch. This is a charming boutique hotel close to all the downtown activities. The room was comfortable and clean. We will definitely stay here next time we are in town.

    If you're traveling to Fort Wayne and looking for a place to stay this is your spot. You can't ask for a better location, right downtown and walking distance to some great restaurants. They also have their own restaurant and bar inside the hotel and the rooftop features about the best view you can ask for (remember you are in Fort Wayne). I loved the decor of the hotel with touches of Vera bradley without being overdone. I would stay here again!

    We mostly enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again. I think they are still working out some kinks, but it's clearly the best hotel in town, well located downtown. The room was small but well decorated (duh). The lights and tv worked, the black out curtains also did their job. Yay. I think we are entering a new age for hotels (perhaps especially during covid), as this is the first place I've stayed with no phone in the room, and also nothing to make a warm drink. (Please reconsider and go British w/ a tea kettle!) No "do not disturb" signs for the door either. But since extra towels are service are more in call (via text), maybe they figure those are superfluous. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was good and hot, so kudos for getting the basics. The towels and toiletries provided were nothing extraordinary, just fine. Perk that we enjoyed was the loaner bikes. When they ever get replaced, I recommend getting some that can be better adjusted. (The one tool they had didn't work that well and seats kept falling and twisting), but very nice that they thought of such a thing. Staff was quite friendly and helpful. The most off-putting experience was breakfast on day 2. And let me first say: breakfast day one was fast, seamless and impressive. But day 2- somehow our order got lost in the shuffle and after an hour we finally inquired when the whole dining room was filled to the brim and plates seemed to be coming out one at a time, about every 10-15 minutes. Disappointing when you're one of the first ones in the dining room and are itching to hit the road. Staff was apologetic and all, but it was just a bummer to end on that note. But! We all have a bad day now and then and when we get back to Ft W, we'd stay here again. We were impressed with the city overall. Wishing more good things for the Hoosier state's 2nd largest city!

As others have mentioned, parking isn't that close, and there's a walkway between the parking garage and the hotel. Also, this Hampton Inn is right next to a Courtyard by Marriott. The staff was helpful, especially regarding our 10 pm, 12 am, and 2 am irritation from someone in the fitness center dropping the ball weights. This went on for two nights. Nothing but repeated loud thuds. Come to find out it was a bunch of kids; at that who's bright idea was to put a fitness center on thr top floor? It's a nice hotel with some minor issues. Id likely stay again, but perhaps 2-4 floors.

Well managed. Super great staff. That's an important reason we stay only at Hilton. Yes, it's an older building. It's Fort Wayne, Indiana, folks. There are no new buildings. This is clearly the best hotel if you're staying in town. That said, it is true, I expect Hilton to invest in this property to maintain brand standard. There is no better alternative nearby, but hurry up and step it up. The building is old and musty, and Hilton knows it. We stayed in the 1 bed-1bath King Suite and it's a lovely layout. Great furniture. Very clean. Once in the room, it's a Hilton Hampton Inn. Until in the room, it's Fort Wayne. The staff accommodated my family's every need. The lobby is lovely for late night work while the family sleeps and the pool is super kid friendly. Plus, nice breakfast area. I do think Hilton knows it's time to invest in the infrastructure updates. Until then, give the staff a raise. Big time. Management, front desk, and maids. Your people are making Hilton look good in an old facility. It speaks volumes for Hilton's quality of management, Conrad Hilton would be pissed about the corporate's inattention to the need for an update. Conrad would also give each of these staff members a free vacation for making him look good. I expect Hilton to act accordingly. Veritas! Harvard '24. Thanks from the family.

Glad I did. We stayed 2 nights. I had my friend and her son and my kid on the reservation but they just ate breakfast and stayed at her house so the kids could play. The breakfast was amazing!! Definitely upgrade to include breakfast. So worth it!!! When I first checked in, Ashley was at the desk and she was so nice and helpful. She explained the water situation, which didn't really end up effecting my stay but one time... but they are remodeling the floors and have to shut it off at set times during the day to remodel the bathrooms. My room was already remodeled and it looked amazing. The hotel is clean and attractive, and I didn't hear any neighbors. The beds were comfy and yes, my back thanked me for it. The shower was hot and spacious. I didn't use housekeeping because I had my pup with me and I didn't want her to bark if they came in. But they were friendly when I passed in the hall. So this place was 5 stars in my book, and everything was great. Food 5/5, room 5/5, service 5/5, Ashley 5/5... thank you for a great stay!

The check-in counter is located across from the restaurant and next to the lounge area. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The interior is quite spacious, with ample seating. This location was convenient for a few hours. The price was reasonable with $15 charge for self-parking. The elevator was clean until you walked out onto the floor, which had a weird smell. The room was decent, but the bed and pillow quality were subpar. The room was very dusty, including the counter, bedside table, and lamp. But it was a quick turnaround for me. The bathroom was clean, with only the bare essentials, and the closet had ample space. And the refrigerator in the room wasn't cold or cool but it was clean

The woman working the front desk, Letra (spelling?) was absolutely amazing. She was always smiling, greeted us by name whenever we walked through the lobby and was just a ray of sunshine. Employees like her really do make a business. The location was great for us because we were at a convention and the convention center was right across the street. We were able to drive a short distance to go to dinner and a movie one night. The bed was very clean which I so much appreciated. I'm very very particular about things being clean. There were employees mopping and cleaning common areas throughout our stay. The shower and sink area were also clean. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is that there were handprints on the walls in the hall, dust on the baseboards in the room and a big chair in the room that was made of material that would need to be cleaned instead of wiped off so for me, it was just a waste of space. If I can't clean something with my Lysol wipes, I prefer not to have it in my hotel room. I just avoided sitting there. I would recommend the hotel and if you stay and have a chance to meet Letra, you're fortunate.

It wasn't a bad stay at all! Occupying what used to be a Comfort Inn, Spark is a pretty nice stay. While you can tell the facility is aged, the Hilton update gives it a fresh look/new life with brighter colors and updated furnishings. We selected a room that was adjacent to a stairwell. It's always a gamble because -- people -- but from what we could tell by the site map, those rooms tend to be bigger. Our room was easily 50% larger than most room, with the addition of a sizable closet space. The furnishings are definitely new, but look rather minimal in our room due to its larger size. The pivoting work space is nice, but the hassock is far too short to work on it for any length of time. I have to wonder if anyone had occupied this particular room at all because the refrigerator wasn't plugged in. We had to crawl on the floor to find the plug to plug it into the wall. The only thing that was missing was a clock. There is no clock in the room. Not that that's a big thing because any person has one or two clocks on them at any time anyway. I've seen a number of reviews complain about the free breakfast. I honestly didn't have a problem with it at all. There are bagels, breads, muffins, oatmeal, and cereals along with fresh fruit and some juices. It's a budget facility. You're not going to get omelets or made-to-order pancakes. Adjust your expectations. The staff we interacted with was great and helpful. Instead of vending machines there's a small snack/sundry shop if you get the late night need-to-eat. I am 100% satisfied with our stay. We saved some money and were located near just about anything we'd need.

But for about 40-50 bucks less per nite, it's a compromise I was willing to make. A little noisier than most places. You could hear people talking and laughing in nearby rooms, doors slamming and kids running wild in the hallway. But this was probably more due to inconsiderate patrons than anything else. Bed was very comfortable. No noisy A/C --once I went to bed (11PM) it was quiet. As mentioned, it is just a Continental breakfast (no scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, meat or pancakes) but what they had was enough for me--bagels, muffins, cereal, oatmeal, apples, bananas, juice and coffee. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and a pretty good bang for the buck.
