The place was very clean. Calm relaxing music was playing low in the lobby very nice if one had been traveling and wanted to relax. The cookies in the evening were delicious. Staff kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with many hot and cold choices. There are multiple shopping options on the complex and it is conveniently located near Shipshewana and all the little shops in between Middlebury and Shipshewana.

The property and people were amazing. Us adults got pushed out of the hot tub by a bunch of kids and their parents didn't care. We were close to the pool and could hear them running up and down the halls. The hallway reminded me of a nursing home. We had mold in our bathtub, beds were hard. We had an okay time.
