Inn1854

It was an easy check-in check out didn’t have to talk to anyone. The location was excellent. We really enjoyed going to Henry’s but that’s only for 21 and up.

It’s a quirky little place! The fresh fruit and snacks that were available in the tea room were a lovely surprise. The location and easy access to parking were great. I like the keyless entry and that the doors automatically locked. I appreciated having a desk. I sat there to do some writing each day. The shower was fun, although maybe overly complicated for the space. The ear plugs in the desk were a thoughtful touch!

None of the things I’m about to write are deal-breakers. I just have a few thoughts aboutbsome things that might improve the experience for future travelers. I’m also aware that the setting of a historic guest house may be influencing some of the choices made when appointing the room. I brought my clean shirts on hangers, and it would have been nice to have a bar to hang them on. Perhaps a shelf behind the door above the luggage rack would be a good spot for a shelf with a hanging bar? It was noisy in my room, but I knew that when I booked it. The regular traffic was not that bad, but the cars that went by gunning their engines were quite disruptive. It sounded like a drag strip! Any chance of lobbying for a noise ordinance, a lower speed limit, or enforcement of the existing speed limit? I enjoyed the interesting items on the shelves above the desk, but I ended up moving most of them to make space for my belongings. Since there isn’t much storage space in the room, fewer decorative items might be nice. A brighter overhead light that also goes completely dark when turned off would be nice. The loveseat made sense in the room, but it looked a bit worn and was not particularly comfortable when used for its intended purpose.

The location was perfect for what I was doing in Fort Wayne. I was at the convention center just a few blocks away.

Location. Historical uniqueness.

Run down and noisy.
