Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just outside the extremely crowded Shipshewana town square, so it's nice and peaceful. The rooms were fantastic with a comfortable bed, TV, and a clean jacuzzi with a nice view. The service, however, was a bit of a letdown as they couldn't find our reservation at the reception desk. The dining experience was delightful with quality food, and the facilities were top-notch.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy with a jacuzzi, but there were some issues with the service. The location was convenient and close to attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the rooms were comfortable and had a nice view, the service at the reception desk for finding our reservation was a bit chaotic. The location, just outside the crowded Shipshewana town square, was both a plus and a minus. The dining experience with mouth-watering Hungarian beef stew was a highlight. The facilities were decent overall.
