Overview
by Courtney Elko
This full-service hotel is ideally located in downtown Fort Wayne and only steps away from the Tincaps Minor League baseball stadium, Parkview Field. Better yet, it’s connected to the Fort Wayne Convention Center. Families can easily walk to the day or night Minor League baseball games or even visit the ball park when there isn’t a game to enjoy the slide, climbing wall, restaurants and other fun amenities. Or from the comfort of your guestroom, you can enjoy the nightly fireworks displays that take place at the stadium in the summer months. Guestrooms with stadium views have an ideal fireworks viewpoint.
The spacious guestrooms and suites feature a mini-fridge, microwave and complimentary Wi-Fi. The onsite restaurant, Champions, and the Bistro cafe are excellent options for families to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Kids will love the indoor pool and the adults will love the large outdoor patio and fire pits. For baseball fans or for families who wish to be within walking distance to many of downtown Fort Wayne’s attractions, this is the place to stay when visiting Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Service was there and very, very good, but not outwardly noticeable, meaning the staff did their jobs so efficiently and quietly that it did not interrupt our activities from morning to night. Great location and loved the ballpark.

We were grandparents of a hockey player staying there for a weekend tournament. Check in easy, rooms very nice, beds comfortable, appreciated the refrigerator & coffee maker.
Also, the updated charging areas on lamps !!
Hotel seemed to be packed with the hockey tournament families. Was a crazy, loud, chaotic, weekend. Hotel was very accommodating with the buffet breakfast for the families!
Family Activities
Indoor Pool
The small indoor pool, with 3- to 4-foot depth, is a great spot for families to spend some quality time. The kids can take a dip while the adults relax at the surrounding tables and chairs. The pool is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and pool towels are provided.
Outdoor Patio
The large outdoor patio space offers comfortable and cozy chairs and fire pits in the summer months. It is a great place to hang out before or after a Tincaps baseball game, which is only steps away from the patio.
Family Dining
Families are welcome to charge any of their dining bills from the onsite restaurants directly to the room bill for convenience.
Champions
Located just off the lobby, this onsite sports grill serves a delicious lunch and dinner in a family-friendly atmosphere. The game is always on one of the 30 televisions and the bar is open late for the adults. Champions is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the weekdays and until midnight on the weekends. A kids' menu is available and in-room dining is available from here as well.
The Bistro
This cafe-style bistro is situated in the lobby, just outside of Champions. Guests can choose from the made-to-order menu for breakfast from 6 to 11 a.m. Everything from fruit to breakfast sandwiches and eggs are available. Starbucks coffee is also available at The Bistro any time of day. If there is no one staffing the area at the moment and you are in need of some caffeine, just ask the front desk for some assistance and they will get you your jolt, stat!
The Market
A small market area, offering snacks, beverages and frozen meals, is available 24/7 in the lobby.
