The breakfast was mediocre at best. The room was clean but the carpets throughout the hotel were very dirty. The staff “did their job” but were not very friendly and seemed to be hesitant about assigning my group to some of the rooms on the first floor. I have stayed in Shipshewana many times before and was expecting a friendly, inviting place to stay. Though I have stayed at the Van Buren before, it does not have the charm I remembered. There is very little seating outside the room and not really a good place to congregate.

Awesome customer service!
We went to flea market got some wodden sculptures and we couldnt fit them in vehicle with all of our stuff. I tried to check in at one, just to put our stuff someplace in order to get our sculptures. I asked lady if i could just put our stuff on a roll buggy and she said sure and she would put in back so noone would take it. How awesome was that!!! Beyond customer service!!!! Thank u!!!!

First time staying here and go to Shipshewana regularly. The pool is small, wasn’t very clean. The free breakfast was mediocre at best- not super clean. Night staff When we checked in, we’re very nice. Due to traveling, we didn’t check in until 2 AM. They said it would be easy to extend our stay. They had plenty of rooms available just call down there. I called down the next day. Also arranged for a late check out at 1pm When I had checked in this morning They were knocking on our door rudely before the check out time. Wouldn’t let me rebook over the phone and then gave me completely different pricing than what I had just gotten only a few hours before. The woman running the front desk during the day with the chest tattoo is extremely rude. We normally stay at Bluegate and that’s definitely where I will stay going forward.

Because of dogs , and I do not have them, no carpeting around bed I don’t like walking into a room without carpet, knowing a dog has peed all over!!! In bathroom very poor quality in flooring. Atleast you can use real tile and the worst caulking job around tub shower area. Yuk
