Extended Stay America Ft Wayne - South, Fort Wayne

Just needed a place for 2 nights, in town for a customer's annual golf outing. My goal was the closest, least expensive room that wasn't a dive, and this was my choice. It's a lot like other ESA properties, consistent chain.

I booked this room on short notice on a holiday weekend and arrived just after midnight. I was clearly an inconvenience to the woman at the front desk, who appeared to be working with laundry in an adjacent room. However, the woman who worked at the desk in the morning was very friendly and was eager for my feedback. I was impressed with the layout of the room. It featured a kitchenette and a full size refrigerator. However, the television was a problem. Not only was the picture quality typically poor, as is the case at almost every national chain hotel I've visited, but Shotime was impossible to watch. The aspect ratio kept bouncing back and forth between letterbox and full screen. Finding the hotel is a bit of a journey. It is not located on a main road. Use a GPS unit or a smartphone app for directions.

Front desk manager was first class!

Excellent front desk customer service

The room had a full kitchen so we ordered food from a local restaurant and picked it up. Once we were trying to eat dinner, we realized the kitchen was completely empty- no steak knives, cups, paper towels or anything at all in it.
