We have stayed at this hotel previously and have never been disappointed. It is away from the main shopping & Flea Market area and is less busy than the other two comparable hotels in Shipshewana.

We stayed here for two nights to visit the market and shop around and explore. The room itself was nice and clean. The bed was soft but not bad. The check in lady was fine but not overly friendly. The check out lady literally did not say one word. After I told her the room we were checking out of she punched it in the computer and waived us off. No goodbye, have a nice day or see you later. Also, it needs to be noted that they don’t replace your towels or wash clothes unless you stay three days or more. I called down to the desk the second evening to see if they accidentally skipped our room. The lady told me of this policy. I asked for clean towels and wash clothes and they did bring them right up. The breakfast was nice and the lady was friendly even considering the mad rush that was happening. So, this was not a bad hotel or experience but a bit disappointing considering the price.

Sufficient enough for our 1 night stay.

Everything went good. Floors could be a little cleaner, and all the wood seemed sticky (could have been humidity) and the bathroom mirror is annoying turning off and on. Also would be nice to not have people smoking right outside entryway! But room was quiet and even though beds were harder than use to we slept good. Also where was the local homemade food for breakfast? Not much of a selection for breakfast :(
