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.
