Our go-to place to stay in Fort Wayne

This was our second time staying for multiple nights at this lovely property. Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The decor was very nice and it was the perfect place for our party of 4 adults to stay while visiting family. Really enjoyed the beautiful rose garden at the park a couple blocks away. Host was very easy to work with. Would stay here again!
