Rooms were a bit on the average side. Only had two washcloths and two hand towels instead of bath towels. Bed was uncomfortable.

It would have been nice to have had a bedside table on both sides of the bed. Lighting was poor. Overhead light was not working.

Best kept secret in Shipshewanna, Motel built by the Amish so the rooms are well built and clean. The breakfast was delicious, but served in a small area. Highly recommend this motel.

Such a nice quiet restful place. No traffic noise to disrupt your stay. Very close to multiple places to eat. Staff friendly and courteous. The only drawback I can mention is the toilets are the short height, standard round seat toilets, and for an old lady with bad knees it was difficult to get back up! Would be helpful if the was a grab bar handy, but the only one in our room was on the far wall, next to the bathtub, and it was beyond my reach.
