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.

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.

Customer Service

I stopped in around 11:30 to see if I can check in early, the lady at the desk was not helpful and not very friendly, She said.. the rooms aren't ready yet, I was not asking to check in that early, we wanted to do some shopping but wanted to check in at 2 or so. She did not ask me what time we wanted to check in. She just said, the rooms are not ready. I asked for phone # to call to check. She did not offer it.
