Room condition was way past prime. Breakfast was a disaster… only two tables to sit at and crowded conditions. The food ran out and it took a long time to be refilled. Owner is rude. I’d rather pay the $20 difference next time and stay at Hampton!

We enjoyed the homey atmosphere . Instead of a hotel chain, it felt more personal. It is older and could use updating but the price was right and our experience was very comfortable.

Nothing fancy but a pleasant stay
This was a convenient and affordable place to stay in Shipshewana. The breakfast was a highlight of staying there, with many options, including hot food. The staff are friendly and the rooms were clean. The hotel is a bit dated but everything worked.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed, the breakfast was better with more choices than before, however the pet fees doubled and they didn't make me aware until check in. Thankfully i was able to pay it as all the other pet friendly places would have been booked. Rooms are decent, breakfast good, enough grass for the pets to play and potty also a very clean area.

The room was dusty,they only straitened up our room once, only gave us more towels once…in three days. The food for breakfast was not very good and did not replenish the hot food. We have been there several times,but this was our last.
