Inn1854 | Hotel in West Central, Indiana

Positive: 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!

Negative: 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.

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

Positive: The historic presence was incredible with photos and related items of previous years and generations.

Negative: This property had the most traffic noise I have ever heard. The vehicle traffic on Washington Street was relentless. Lasted until 3:00am.

Positive: The house was beautiful and exactly the way it was described. The location was great.

Negative: We stayed in the Henry Lawton room. The king size bed was 2 different mattresses put together. My wife & I kept falling in between the mattresses. There was an exit door across from the bathroom with a green exit sign that was very bright. Should have had some type of curtain to block out the light.

Positive: no breakfast but Starbucks across the alley comfortable gathering space

Negative: More coffee cups. and more Keurig capsules

Positive: It was a lovely place to stay. Like a help yourself bed and breakfast. It was a very interesting property, not like a normal hotel.

Positive: Great

Negative: The heating. Couldn’t control how hot the room is and couldn’t open any windows to cool off room

Positive: The room was amazing! The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the fireplace made the room so cozy. The hot tub bathtub was so relaxing and well needed. The stairs were a lot but the room made it so worth it. Had a great time and will stay here again!!

Negative: The stairs were a lot to climb but the Sion Bass room was so great it was worth the climb!
