Van Buren Hotel At Shipshewana

I want to thank Angela (new manager) at the hotel. She is was so amazing. We booked a room for 2 nights and we had some small issues with the first room and then she moved us to another room and accommodate to us and she and her 1st and 2nd shift crew was amazing also....if the owners or Angela is reading this I want to thank you so much for what she has done for us... we will be back next year.

Stayed in the suite 228 and was happy with the room, but carpet needed cleaned, there are spots on it, for the price it should be in little better shape. 1.5 miles from the MEC arena, need more places to eat that stay open later, good breakfast, but needs better warmers, price was too expensive! Specially booked 2 months ahead. The other party i was with, booked at same time, didn't get to check into 8pm they were still having to clean rooms that late!! Booking ahead we should not have to wait when having to go to show and not have our room ready. Plus they had to change room around as instructed we wanted them next to each other. They didn't do that. Either room was ready anyway. Need better schedulers!

I generously gave this place 2 stars because the staff was amazing. However, the place was filthy! I took pictures of the dining area where there was batter left in the bottom of the waffle maker, there were crumbs on the floor and counters, the tables were sticky, the chafing dish was dirty and had food and fingerprints all over it. The "breakfast" was horrible - sausage was literally gray colored and the gravy for the biscuits was like water. We ended up going out to eat. Also, the place was never vacuumed - the stairways and hallways were full of dust and papers and dirt. There is a table up in the hallway at the top of the stairs that looked like it hadn't been dusted in weeks. Oh, and we wouldn't swim in the pool because the water was cloudy and the room stunk like mold and it was musty. So disappointed. Next time, if I can't get in the Blue Gate, we will stay home!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Everything was very clean, comfortable, and safe. The staff was amazing, and made us feel right at home. Great breakfast options. I saw quite a few petty and rude reviews of this place, which all proved to be unfounded and false. This is a beautiful hotel with a great staff, and I highly recommend staying here. Thanks so much!
