Everything was fine. It was a little pricey for the type of room I had. This was mostly due to the concert being held next door.

A wonderful place to stay
What a wonderful hotel this is! We were there for 3 days, mostly to see a concert at the Performing Arts Center right next door. Hotel is bright with cute decor. The free breakfast buffet was great, with lots of choices. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Shipshewana is a quaint and lovely town. Had a fantastic stay and definitely want to go again.

For the prices charged, the room should have been much cleaner. Its a large facility which is fine for conventions, etc. If looking for something more intimate I'd suggest other options
