What guests say
7.9 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 1,147 guest reviews
Der Ruhe Blatz Motel earns consistent praise for its convenient location near Shipshewana, clean rooms, and generally friendly staff, making it a practical budget-friendly option. However, recurring complaints about dated and worn rooms, poorly configured motion-sensor lighting, early-morning noise, and a few instances of unwelcoming front-desk service temper the overall experience. Guests largely view it as functional and good value rather than a comfortable or polished stay.
