Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fort Wayne by IHG
Indoor pool with a warm breakfast buffet included
Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne
About this stay
Holiday Inn Express sits within the same 10-12 km radius as several of Fort Wayne's mid-range hotels, close to the airport at 10 km and to Parkview Field, Embassy Theatre, the art museum and the Children's Zoo all within 12 km. The indoor pool and fitness centre cover the basics, and full-day security along with express check-in and check-out suit a fast turnaround on a road trip with an early start the next day. Rooms come with a coffee machine, refrigerator, microwave and TV, and the continental buffet breakfast includes real warm dishes rather than just pastries and cereal (worth an early trip down before the spread winds up mid-morning).

Our take
This works as a straightforward, central Fort Wayne base with an indoor pool and a real breakfast, useful for a one or two-night stopover rather than a destination in itself. The 10-12 km spread to most attractions keeps things simple. Anyone wanting an on-site restaurant for dinner should look elsewhere, since evening dining here means driving out.
- Get to breakfast before 9am, the warm dishes tend to run out on busy weekend mornings.
- Use express check-out if leaving early, the front desk keeps the process genuinely fast.
- Confirm the pet policy at booking, it is allowed but details can vary by season.

Why guests love itA one-night stopover between a longer drive turned into an easy stay thanks to express check-in after a late arrival and a proper hot breakfast the next morning before getting back on the road. The indoor pool wasn't the main draw but kept the kids occupied for an hour before checkout. The 12 km run out to Embassy Theatre the evening before was straightforward with no real traffic to plan around (a small relief on a road-trip schedule).
