Will stay here again on my next trip to Shipshewana!
Pros:

The room was probably the most clean hotel room I've stayed in. Kudos to the staff! Especially liked that there was no carpet in the room, bed was comfortable with light weight yet warm bedspread. Nice big TV, channel lineup was great. Refrigerator and microwave in the room. Ground floor room was nice, quiet hallway. There were not many travelers on Monday night, so I think they spread out the guests, which was nice. Staff was friendly, welcoming. Did not take advantage of the breakfast, but I could imagine it was delicious.

Cons:

The weather could have been better, but you had no control over that. The room warmed up nicely and stayed at a constant temperature and we were very thankful. Overall, there was not one thing I didn't like. It was a very pleasant stay.

Great Experience
Pros:

The rooms were very clean and the staff did a great job in food preparation, greetings and cleanliness.The gym has but one non working treadmill and I would recommend getting that fixed along with having at least 2-3 treadmills for the size of the hotel.

3 day visit
Pros:

Quick visit to Amish country. Hotel was selected because of it being pet friendly. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast was way below standard.

Not terrible but could use some improvement
Pros:

Whirlpool left a lot to be desired. Manager adjusted price after we addressed the issue but made our trip a little less enjoyable not being able to enjoy the perks of the room.
