There was a John Deere ice sculpture out front!

Upon entering, it looked very nice! There was a sitting area by a fireplace as you came in. We were checked in quickly & efficiently. We asked for (& received) a room on the 3rd floor. We were trying for a quiet room. Unfortunately, there was a family in the next room that we…

Hi Donna, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that you had such poor quality of sleep. We strive to make so each guest has a clean and comfortable night of rest. We also select mattresses that we feel will work for a wide variety of our clientele. Can you believe that we actually have guests that will also tell us that our beds are too soft. As far as the cash refund for the additional nights, that is policy as we do not have much cash on-site at any given time. It is stated on the paper signed at check in that there are no cash refunds. After checking the furnace and seeing that it did have a problem, that was fixed immediately. The manager immediately did speak to your husband and apologized profusely and did adjust your bill for that. For any additional inquiries please contact me at 260-768-9187. I hope your future stays in Shipshewana are pleasant ones.Thank you
