Spacious room. Good wifi. Excellent breakfast. Good location. Nice lounges and conversation spaces. Nice pool.

Needed robe to go to and from pool. Most 'nice' hotels provide robes for this purpose. This was missing. Would like to see robes in my closet on my next visit. Will this occur? The Decafe coffee was not fully decaffeinated. I am negatively affected by caffeine. Therefore, I can detect caffeine when it is present. When I learned that the Decafe coffee had caffeine, I was no longer able to enjoy my morning coffee from the hotel. I really missed this amenity. I have to wonder WHY the hotel does not serve fully decaffeinated coffee in it's Decafe dispensers?

The hotel was great incredibly family friendly. Love the game room. Breakfast was fantastic, best hotel breakfast I have ever had.

Staff were horrible at communication. Waited at the front desk for a long time before someone who was cleaning the outside came in and said they would try to help me. The pool was down. I called before hand as this was one of the reasons we chose this hotel. I talked to the staff and they told me it was that they just put chemicals in the pool and it would be open in a couple of hours. I kept calling the front desk and then finally asked them if they could let me know if and when the pool would be open. Zero communication. It was down for 3 days. I was not the only one pretty upset about this. That made the game room full with families trying to find things to do with children. There should be an email or text that gets sent out to let us know if the facilities are not going to be in use.

The breakfasts were great, the staff was friendly and attentive. The location was only a short walk away from the room. The pool and hot tub were exquisite.

I guess there's always something? The pillows were just a little too soft, the toilet didn't flush entirely. The coffee in the room was pretty bad and I was hoping for a USB charging port or two. Vending on the third floor was slight disappointment but my diet thanks you. Non of these would keep us from enjoy your establishment in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We loved that the concert venue was right next door. The free breakfast was great and the ice cream after the concert was great too. It was so nice and quiet at night too. And everyone was really nice and helpful when we asked about anything.

We loved our room except it was musty and damp and had high humidity, even with the air conditioner on. The carpet felt damp as well. As soon as we walked into the room the humidity hit. We turned off the air conditioner as it just didn't seem to help with the humidity. We had left it on for a couple of hours thinking it would help but then it was a little cold and damp. Otherwise, our stay was great and we will stay again if we come for another concert.

We always enjoy coming to Shipshewana and staying at the Blue Gate Garden Inn. I have lost track of how many times we have stayed, and it has always been a pleasure. It is a great location because it is right next door to the Blue Gate Theater; we always partake in the wonderful shows. The breakfast at the Garden Inn is top-notch and we enjoy the pizza shop and game area.

The last two visits we have noticed the beds have become so uncomfortable. It is to the point where we wake up with back, knee, and hip pain. I don't remember ever having this issue before, but after the second time and I'm not sure we want to go through this again. I don't know if you did something different with your beds, but they are like lying on a table.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was awesome with a wide selection of food including a made to order omlette station. The Blue Gate Inn and Conference Center is located right next to the Blue Gate Performing Arts Center making it ideal for going to a show and staying for the night.

The only thing I don't care for is the Blue Gate Restaurant is located downtown and not on the same property. If you do dinner and a show option, you will need to have transportation to get to the restaurant located downtown.

Great hotel. Everything from the staff, location, cleanliness, awesome breakfast buffet and all the extra fun stuff is top notched.

The only thing I had a problem with is the parking. Me and my husband are still young enough and able to walk so it wasn't really an issue for us. But we did come across an elderly couple that had walkers that was having a difficult time walk all the way to the front door. The problem is when there is a show next door they all park at the hotel so when hotel guests come back after dinner or being out for the day there is hardly any parking and if there is parking its on the last row by the road. I feel like maybe there should be more consideration for hotel guests especially the elderly and handicapped.

The Blue Gate is such a charming hotel for its large size. The decor is fun with all its figures, including life-size livestock and a farmer on a tractor! The pizza/ice cream parlor was fun and yummy! The best part was all the spaces for guests to sit and visit, and they did, which was so cool to see people enjoying the hotel instead of just going to and from their rooms. The guests ranged from families with young kids to mature adults. There was something for all to do. Our group consisted of a grandma, mother, and two teen daughters. We all had so much fun together and laughed so much. It was an expectedly great time, and we will be back!!

I have no negative comments for this stay.

The Inn was right next to the venue we were going to for a concert. Clean, comfortable, decorated beautifully. Enjoyed our weekend stay very much. Good breakfast, lots of choices for food. The staff was very friendly. Sitting outside by the firepit was really nice. The courtyard was beautiful with the plants, trees, little pond, lights, and firepit. Check-in and checkout were easy.

The only thing that I can think of was the ice machine on our floor was out of order, so we had to go to other locations to get ice, but other than that, everything was great. More tv channels would've been nice.

The Inn was very clean and comfortable. Most everyone was friendly. Served my purpose perfectly. The Performing Arts Center being right next store was very convenient !!

Was hoping to obtain.a room just a bit cheaper for a one night stay. The breakfast room served a lot of food and was a pretty good value,... Didn't care for the coffee or the omelette,... The ingredients need improvement to taste correct,... Was more of a diced egg wrap. Let's say the delicious orange juice and the other food saved the morning 🌅 lol,... Overall,... Not horrible by any means and the entire staff including the omelette maker was very friendly,... Just wish I had went for the waffle instead,...
