The room was fine, no issues there. The breakfast was also OK. Nothing special. My real issue with our stay was the Smorgasbord at Blue Gate Dinner Theater. The quality of food on the hot food section was not good. Very disappointing. The waitress and staff were superb. We actually had purchased the dinner ticket in April for the Brother Love concert but didn’t use the tickets at that time. We came back to Shipshewana to do Christmas shopping and to use the tickets. I could have saved a lot of money staying in Dayton and do our Christmas shopping locally

We always enjoy our many stays at Blue Gate. We were a little let down this time though. We understand it was a busy weekend, but one of the elevators was out of service all weekend, so the wait was a little long at times. We could not get our TV to work at all Saturday night. They may want to consider giving people with smaller children lower level rooms, we are not ones to complain about kids making noise, but we had a few small children above us on the 3rd floor that ran from one end of the room to the other until 3am 😳 For the rates that are charged we are really hoping we don’t have this experience again. As far as cleanliness, friendly staff and cozy feel of the hotel it is top notch!
