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.

The hotel is right next to Fort Wayne's Parkview Field baseball stadium, and i didn't notice the…read moreTinCaps at first when I took Webster Street to West Jefferson Blvd. So, that's convenient if you're a baseball fan, but I was on a business trip. 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.

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!

At "breakfast" the following morning, there was little to no food left in the breakfast area with nearly an hour remaining in their stated breakfast hours. If there had been any food left, there was no silverware- only plastic sporks straight out of elementary school. The main reason for all this: Inadequate to nonexistent staffing. I realize I didn't pay $500 for this suite, but it's amazing how overall hotel standards have sunk in the post Covid era.

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.

The staff do not know what "inside" voices are and I feel are very rude to customers/residents who either work 3rd shift or guest who are sleeping in. This is definitely the noisiest hotel/Airbnb and would not suggest it if you like quiet.

There is also an ok free continental breakfast (with a make-your-own pancake machine, believe it or not) and self-serve free tea and coffee available 24/7. There is also a Golden Corral located next to the hotel. I will leave it to you to decide if that is a good or horrifying thing. If you very wisely decide to skip the Corral, much better options are located downtown, about 10 minutes away. Would I stay here again? Sure.

Essentially these are hostels without multiple roommates and shared showers. Perhaps Hilton will go to that level next. If you plan to spend under $120/night, this is what you can expect, so don't complain. Paper thin walls, so hedge your bets that you don't get frisky or violent neighbors. No bed side lights, limited outlets. It is what it is. I don't stay in them often for a reason. The cast of characters is always a bit frightful as well.

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.
