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
