Very easy to get to after the concert at the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center. --- Breakfast was normal for continental breakfast style. Floors in our room needed a good deep mopping otherwise the rest of the room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Indoor pool looked nice but we didnt use it due to our schedule. We love Shipshewana.

Air fresheners plugged in and those smells are offensive to so many people with allergies and those who dislike those smells. They give me a headache so I had a headache all weekend. It felt like you were trying to mask either smoking or a sewage smell.
