The place was very clean. Calm relaxing music was playing low in the lobby very nice if one had been traveling and wanted to relax. The cookies in the evening were delicious. Staff kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with many hot and cold choices. There are multiple shopping options on the complex and it is conveniently located near Shipshewana and all the little shops in between Middlebury and Shipshewana.
