The hotel itself was fine- good location, clean, a little outdated but that gave it some character. The mattress in our room was HORRIBLE. New mattresses would be a huge help!

We didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but the hotel was amazing. Staff left a little bit to be desired I think for the cost of the room check out times could be later, but outside of that I would give it 5 stars.

Hotel needs a major refresh — doesn’t look like it’s been remodeled since it opened. Breakfast was so-so. Coffee weak. There have to be better options to stay in Shipshewana.
