The Bradley Hotel in downtown Fort Wayne is a beautiful hotel. This was our third staycation since we live in FW but love a local getaway. The icon Vera Bradley did the design and decor and she did not disappoint. The multiple colors/fabrics line the walls in the lobby , halls, and rooms. The mattress’s and bed linens are wonderful. I have back issues and I feel like never getting out of bed. The rooms are very spacious with a regular fridge, sink and counter. There is a very comfortable couch to relax on too. The Arbor Restaurant and Birdies Rooftop are very good. There is a coffee bar open all day so we could relax in the lobby with a Cappuccino. The Staff are friendly and helpful. There are light fixtures throughout the hotel that are so unique. The Valet guys are so friendly and helpful or you can park your car yourself across the street for a daily charge. The famous Coney Island is across the street, Kilwins Ice Cream Shop next door and you are walking distance to many restaurants. I know this review is long but we’ve traveled all over the world and this has got to be one of favorite hotels.

I live Vera Bradley designs and style so the whole place—even the elevator wallpaper—was a fun pleasure. The beds were super comfy and lots of storage space. We were in the Ft Wayne suite, very spacious and comfy. Uber-quiet, too. I appreciated the hallway water and ice, nice not to have to waste plastic and buy water bottles. Nice, compact, flexible gym, even Peleton equipment. Special shoutout to the valet staff, especially Remington on our checkout day, who helped us sort out times, late checkout etc. Truly, everyone there was special, cheerful and helpful—and I regret I don’t know all the names to thank.

It’s hard to name anything. I would have liked a coffee machine in the room BUT the very large strong coffees were free before 7a.m. So how can I complain?

Front desk personnel and valet attendant were friendly, helpful and courteous upon arrival. Most importantly, the room was clean along with the linens and towels. The breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. The server was friendly and courteous.

The dining chairs were uncomfortable, especially when sitting for the purpose of eating at a table. I would consider them more like a cocktail/lounge chair. The breakfast could have been served in a more timely manner considering it was not very busy at the time.

Breakfast was great - we also had dinner at the main floor restaurant and it was also great. Loved the decor, the rooms and the beds were comfy. Staff were great. Great location. We did ask to be moved from our original room due to the noise of the sidewalk construction going on on the side street and that was accommodated. Unfortunately we arrived at the hotel very late due to delayed flights and our luggage was lost (did not get it until mid day the next day). The front desk did have toothbrushes and toothpaste we could have - not sure if there is an opportunity to have a few additional items available, if even for purchase (eg pyjamas/t-shirt etc). Perhaps this doesn't happen often enough for travellers to Fort Wayne to warrant anything more.

I am allergic to down but didn't even think to make note of that on the reservation as it is rare to find down bedding in most hotels these days. I did ask on our 2nd day if there were non-down alternatives for bedding (duvet and pillows) but was told that they didn't think there was. I do believe that some of the pillows were not down. Perhaps have some maps/things to do sheets available.

The Bradley is beautiful from the moment you pull up, walk into lobby, head to and into your room. Love the aesthetic, the scent, the colors. Staff all incredible. Excellence wins for sure here.

Had a corner suite which should have been wonderful but a few things held the experience back. First, ongoing construction outside was awful first thing in the morning. Not the hotels fault at all but I would have appreciated a heads up and maybe even an offer to move us to a room further from that side of building. Second, kids were with us this trip so needed the pull out sofa. However, it is a twin size. We booked the room for 4 and it obviously only sleeps 3. Daughter (10) ended up sleeping on two ottomans next to each other. Last, there are no blinds at all on the door to the balcony so if the construction noise hadn’t woken them up, they’d be up with the sun regardless.

Clean, comfortable, convenient location. Great staff.

No microwave in rooms. Very small fridge. I must have wasted about $80 in food I had to throw out from expensive restaurants. Also every hotel I’ve ever stayed in has a late night, free coffee and tea service. There was no such amenity at the Bradley. Too many inconveniences and wasted money. We may stay elsewhere next time in town.

The location was great. The hotel has ample eating options around it as well as in the Hotel itself. I particularly enjoyed Birdies Rooftop Bar and the staff were very good.

The Hotel is not geared up for long stays in my opinion. Limited cupboard space to unpack your suitcase and in our case we stayed for 10 days.

The location is fantastic and the room and amenities are top notch. Very friendly staff.

Very disappointed in The Arbor restaurant, though. Extremely limited menu. Waiter forgot to bring my husband's Ceasar salad, so we just let it go. To be quite honest, we simply wanted to finish our lackluster meal and leave. However, when the bill came, we were charged for the salad. My husband pointed out that we never received the salad. The waiter questioned our assertion that we never received the salad we were charged for.

The property is beautiful and very clean. The room was very cozy and the beds were comfortable.

One of the elevators was not functioning on one of the busiest weekends in Fort Wayne as it was the weekend of the Vera Bradley Outlet sale. We ate at the restaurant inside the hotel for brunch and the food was ok but they needed more staff available, it took a very long time to get our meal. The location was unfortunate, trying to navigate downtown with road construction and then attempting to park close by was terrible, it makes you feel like you have to valet your vehicle.

We liked the downtown location (except when the street was closed for the tree lighting or whatever, but what can you do?). My mom liked all the Vera Bradley fabric everywhere she looked ;-)

Having to pay for the garage was not wonderful. We rented the room for my elderly parents, and it would have been nice to have parking on premises.
