Beautiful, convenient location at a great price
Posted Jul 6, 2017
Pros: Just about everything.
Cons: Healthier options for breakfast. Fruit and yogurt would be nice.
Location: Beautiful location just a couple of minutes to town and the lake. Extra blankets in the rooms are getting old and could be replaced.
We loved our stay. The staff is great, the room was updated and very clean, the grounds and walking paths were beautiful, lovely pool, and a very reasonable price for the area in summer. We've been coming to Syracuse/Wawasee our whole lives but this was our first stay at Brookepoint. Already booked another weekend.

great place to stay
Posted Jun 28, 2017this hotel has a tranquil feel to it, very welcoming atmosphere. It's more like being in a huge cabin, than a hotel..with friendly and nice staff..always ready to help with any need. If you can't climb stairs, request a room on the first floor, because there are no elevators. Rooms include a full breakfast bar, food is ok, but coffee is delicious. No meals served other than breakfast. Swimming pool was very nice, warm salt water, clean area. It was a very enjoyable experience.

A Spoiled Stay
Posted May 18, 2017 on HotelsThe facility is welcoming and comfortable. Nice pool and work out room. Cozy lobby and beautiful outdoor area with wooded trails. But people in neighboring room had out of control kids making lots of noise
We called the desk once and walked down once to complain but no offer was extended to move us. A domestic quarrel woke us at 6:30. We got breakfast and checked out before 9, much earlier than planned but it wasn't relaxing or romantic being there! We filled out the feedback form in the room and stopped at the desk and explained why we were leaving. We were told we'd hear back from them so they could help make up for our disappointing stay. We never did.

This is very disappointing to hear your stay was not as you had hoped. I will talk with my front desk staff to ensure this does not happen again. We do appreciate your time in reviewing our hotel. We do try hard to couples romance getaways away from guests with children, sometimes this conflict is unavoidable. I do apologize for your inconveniences. We wish you safe travels!

A welcoming country inn.
Posted May 15, 2017
Pros: see above
Cons: The mattress was too hard for my tastes.
We booked a room here because we didn't want to pay the fees for a room at a major hotel chain. It was exactly what we needed-a quiet, rural setting, surrounded by lakes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast (included) was excellent and had our favorite breakfast items. The setting was very relaxing with acres of lawn and woods. We only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the evening bonfire.

We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and comfortable. We did not get to spend a lot of time here this time but would certainly stay here again if we were back in the area. The breakfast was great too!

Dirty, dirty room
Posted Apr 11, 2017 on HotelsVery dirty room. Found what looked to be cat food on the counter and on the carpet thru out the room. Then walked into the bathroom and found the last guests new clothing tags on the floor. Finding all of this makes me believe the room was not cleaned!!! I took the cat food and tags to the front desk and complained, she looked at me like I was crazy!! Just ridiculous!

Thank you for your review. We do apologize for this happening. I will be using this as an opportunity to train our staff. This is not the standard by which we hold our housekeepers. I do hope the rest of your stay was pleasant! We hope to see you again. Safe travels

Got ripped off
Posted Feb 11, 2017 on HotelsNever stayed - booked for the week - due to weather conditions didn't arrive until next day and they had cancelled the rest of my reservation. Said there were no more rooms available - the rented my room and charged me too. Had to go 35 miles down the road to find a hotel. Bad deal - hotel.com never refunded me like they said they would. Called them 2 times and said I would get email confirming refund but never received.

We are so very sorry to hear that this happened. It is unfortunate that we weren't able to have a room for you. We do rely on Hotels.com to handle any refunds that happen through their service. We are not able to do anything within their system. I encourage you to contact them again for resolution. Safe travels!

Hotel with great extras.

NOT a good stay at all.
Posted Feb 6, 2017 on HotelsI called a few days before our trip to ask how far the hotel was from shipsy, was told "no more than 20 minutes" it was 55 minutes away. 55 minutes. When we arrived we went to our room to half of the lights not working. When i told the front desk lady she handed me a light bulb. for about an hour of our stay the neighbors were having loud relationships. (I know you cant stop that but it really put the cherry on top of the cake). Needed ice, was charged 50 cents for a cup of ice. I would NOT stay here again.

Thank you for your review. We do apologize for the miscommunication on the distance to Shipshewana. I do find that the issue with the lights and our staff giving you a light bulb is unacceptable on our part - and I apologize. This is not the way we handle things for our guest. We have since taken care of this issue, so no other guest will have to deal with it. We do hope you'll give us another opportunity to improve our rating for you. Safe travels!
