This is a very family friendly hotel complex. The restaurant serves a very nice buffet, and the hotel grounds are well kept. It is a short distance to Shipshewana, making it a good base of operations.

It's a very nice hotel although the game room isn't very guest friendly. The reason is because there's no change machine so make sure to bring quarters.
