Our stay at the Van Buren Hotel was enjoyable. We took our little dog with us on this trip. Our dog friendly room was large and very clean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area, so they were able to answer all our questions. Breakfast was well stocked and tasted great. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

About the only thing I wish they had was some additional snacks/food to be able to access. The town rolls up at 4pm and not much I. Terms of restaurants close by open later as well

We have stayed at this hotel previously and have never been disappointed. It is away from the main shopping & Flea Market area and is less busy than the other two comparable hotels in Shipshewana.

Excellent customer service

It was a comfortable stay. I did inform them of an issue that's started in the restroom where the wallpaper/ paint is starting to bubble from moisture. I informed them of this prior to it becoming a serious issue. The stay was great. We didn't usw the continental breakfast for this stay.

Friendly staff, clean room, nice pool,(honestly we mainly came for the pool😁). We live in Shipshewana and wanted somewhere to just get away and swim and relax. Was very convenient since we forgot a few things and only love a few minutes away.
