We stayed here for two nights to visit the market and shop around and explore. The room itself was nice and clean. The bed was soft but not bad. The check in lady was fine but not overly friendly. The check out lady literally did not say one word. After I told her the room we were checking out of she punched it in the computer and waived us off. No goodbye, have a nice day or see you later. Also, it needs to be noted that they don’t replace your towels or wash clothes unless you stay three days or more. I called down to the desk the second evening to see if they accidentally skipped our room. The lady told me of this policy. I asked for clean towels and wash clothes and they did bring them right up. The breakfast was nice and the lady was friendly even considering the mad rush that was happening. So, this was not a bad hotel or experience but a bit disappointing considering the price.

Sufficient enough for our 1 night stay.

Everything went good. Floors could be a little cleaner, and all the wood seemed sticky (could have been humidity) and the bathroom mirror is annoying turning off and on. Also would be nice to not have people smoking right outside entryway! But room was quiet and even though beds were harder than use to we slept good. Also where was the local homemade food for breakfast? Not much of a selection for breakfast :(

I got together with 2 college friends that I hadn’t seen in years. We stayed at this property for 2 nights and it was perfect! The porch was quiet and intimate for good conversation. Chairs in porch and lobby were very comfortable!! Affordable, convenient to shopping and dining.

Nice and clean room. Property is also clean and seems to be kept up very well. Breakfast could use some variety from day to day. Bacon would be a nice change of pace from sausage every morning (or ham).

Need and pillows leave much to be desired. Breakfast options were not what you'd expect in the middle of Omish/Shipshewana. Staff were great and location is perfect.

Clean

I love the floors do not having carpet. I was disappointed that the hotel is now allowing dogs. Housekeeping must be requested. They have very small trash cans. I would love for the hotel to offer recycling.
