Hotel Dekat East Lake

"This was the second time this year that we stayed at the Essenhaus. Room was clean and comfortable and quiet! Check-in was fast and the staff here is friendly and helpful! We enjoyed the hot breakfast but wish they had granola to go along with the yogurt. We highly recommend The Essenhaus!"

"Hotel was very charming and clean. Beds were comfy. Breakfast had great options and was fresh. Close to everything you need. We will be back!"

"This hotel was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at. There was ample room for recreation. We have decided to make it an annual tradition to stay here while we visit the Shipshawanee area. "

"We haven’t stayed here for a few years and decided to stay here due to unavailability at the other hotels. We will not stay here again. The overall upkeep of the property is not as nice as it used to be and when we got to our room there were stains and crumbs on the comforter. We asked for room service and no one ever came to change the bed. We ended up having to go get the bedding and do it ourselves. The next day we asked that the towels be picked up and changed out. They brought us two towel...

"Love everything about this hotel. Location. Cleanliness. Easy in/out. But it is very expensive for a Super 8 Motel. Their shower system is very outdated as are the carpeting and bedding. I understand you can get away with it for proximity to the concert hall. But if you’re going to charge these outrageous prices, you should provide better aesthetics."

"When I came into the town of Shipshewana at 3ish I noticed that the traffic signals was not working and found out before checking in that there was no electricity in the entire town because of a storm overnight. So I went ahead and put my luggage in the room and continued on to my destination in town that had a generator running. I came back to the hotel at 8pm and found out that it still didn't have power. The room was 85 degrees and I have a cpac machine so I can sleep. So I chose to turn my...

"Clean and comfortable hotel in a charming community."

"Do not stay here! I booked a room 3 weeks in advance of our trip. We were given a room that had no air conditioning and when I told them they said they knew there was no air but they didn't have any other rooms! They finally found another room for us and then rebooked the room we were originally in with someone else before they cleaned it! We had laid on the bed, used the restroom but they didn't clean it before renting to someone else. Now it makes me wonder how clean the room was that we...

"Clean room Extremely noisy exhaust fan in bathroom"

"The hotel is quite nice as is the staff. But, the washroom for the sink faucet and bathroom tub / shower, both drains emitted a terrible septic odor. Something really needs to be done about this. Imagine other rooms have the same problem. Otherwise the hotel is in a great location, and all else was great."
