Room was very clean and nicely set up. Breakfast was good and was located close to town. Only minor issue was that could not leave fan on constant run so turned off when a/c turned off. Had a button on unit to leave fan on continuous but would not turn on . Was no problem as a/c had a soft on and off system so was fine for sleeping.

Hotel is fine for a brief stay. It offers free breakfast but it’s typical fare: powdered scrambled eggs, sausages, biscuits and gravy. Also a waffle iron to make your own. The room was comfortable but we were surprised that the pillows were so small and lightweight for a king size bed. I had to use 3 pillows in order to adequately support my head. Its location is about a mile north of the main attractions in Shipshiwana so just a quick drive away. It’s a fine hotel for a visit to Amish country but it’s not spectacular
