We loved that the concert venue was right next door. The free breakfast was great and the ice cream after the concert was great too. It was so nice and quiet at night too. And everyone was really nice and helpful when we asked about anything.
We loved our room except it was musty and damp and had high humidity, even with the air conditioner on. The carpet felt damp as well. As soon as we walked into the room the humidity hit. We turned off the air conditioner as it just didn't seem to help with the humidity. We had left it on for a couple of hours thinking it would help but then it was a little cold and damp. Otherwise, our stay was great and we will stay again if we come for another concert.

Great hotel. Everything from the staff, location, cleanliness, awesome breakfast buffet and all the extra fun stuff is top notched.
The only thing I had a problem with is the parking. Me and my husband are still young enough and able to walk so it wasn't really an issue for us. But we did come across an elderly couple that had walkers that was having a difficult time walk all the way to the front door. The problem is when there is a show next door they all park at the hotel so when hotel guests come back after dinner or being out for the day there is hardly any parking and if there is parking its on the last row by the road. I feel like maybe there should be more consideration for hotel guests especially the elderly and handicapped.

The Inn was right next to the venue we were going to for a concert. Clean, comfortable, decorated beautifully. Enjoyed our weekend stay very much. Good breakfast, lots of choices for food. The staff was very friendly. Sitting outside by the firepit was really nice. The courtyard was beautiful with the plants, trees, little pond, lights, and firepit. Check-in and checkout were easy.
The only thing that I can think of was the ice machine on our floor was out of order, so we had to go to other locations to get ice, but other than that, everything was great. More tv channels would've been nice.

The Inn was very clean and comfortable. Most everyone was friendly. Served my purpose perfectly. The Performing Arts Center being right next store was very convenient !!
Was hoping to obtain.a room just a bit cheaper for a one night stay. The breakfast room served a lot of food and was a pretty good value,... Didn't care for the coffee or the omelette,... The ingredients need improvement to taste correct,... Was more of a diced egg wrap. Let's say the delicious orange juice and the other food saved the morning 🌅 lol,... Overall,... Not horrible by any means and the entire staff including the omelette maker was very friendly,... Just wish I had went for the waffle instead,...

The room was pretty basic as far as hotel rooms go. It had all the amenities to make the stay enjoyable. The bed was very comfortable. As far as amenities, there was a decent pool and hot tub which is a must as far as I'm concerned. By far, the best thing about this hotel was the breakfast. There were so many good choices for any type of diet and they even had a woman making specialty omelets. The breakfast went above and beyond the usual complimentary breakfast.
Starting from my first impression, the reservation desk personnel were not very personable or upbeat. They didn't seem too happy to be there. Second, the icemaker was not working on the 3rd floor. Third, I was under the impression that the Blue Gate Restaurant was attached to the hotel and it was not. I also didn't realize that everything was going to shut down so early every night. The fact that there is zero alcohol sales anywhere in the county also came as a surprise. I suppose the whole Amish life style is to be experienced but I think that the early closure of restaurants and stores and the zero alcohol should be mentioned in the description. There wasn't much to do in the evening. Thank goodness for the pool and fire pit area. If I come back I will bring my own alcohol.

Location! We had tickets to a. Concert at the Blue Gate Theater, right next door! Walk across a driveway, and we were there. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Omelets made to order, several hearty entrees, bakery fresh pastries in addition to things often found on a hotel buffet. The room was spacious and clean with wonderfully soft pillows. The view directly out the window wasn't picturesque, but in the distance was a farm. The fire pit was open until 11, and the indoor pool closed at 10:30. There were plenty of indoor gathering places and an arcade. Easy, close parking.

The room was absolutely immaculate. The cleanliness of the room made my stay very comfortable. The furnishings were new. The bed was extremely comfortable. Overall, I couldn't have had a nicer, more comfortable room. I felt very at home there. I look forward to staying there again.
The front desk staff could be a little more friendly. The sheets were microfiber material, which is very warm for sleeping. Cotton would be expected for a hotel of this quality. Also, the velour blanket was very worn out. The view from the room left a lot to be desired as well; photos are attached.

The overall atmosphere of the Blue Gate Garden was welcoming, fun, and engaging. This was our first stay, and we will definitely be back. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty to do. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a good amount of options, including gluten-free! I am very picky about hotels, but Blue Gate Garden Inn quickly became my favorite.
We had a blast playing teather ball, but if I had to find something to improve...the cement playing area was too small. The ball rope length reaches outside the perimeter of the circle.

Perfect being right next to the concert we attended!! Liked that you could get a pizza right there, except we had to hurry up and order because at 5:00 they only had 8 crusts left for the whole night.
Breakfast!!! That was “ included” in our hotel price! When we arrived at 8:30 there was such a stack of omlete orders that the cook advised us to just eat the buffet! So we settled for that, about 4 bites into my breakfast I ran across a hair in my potatoes!!!! That left me pushing my plate aside and finding the first exit door!! Next time I choose to stay I will ask for a rate that does not include breakfast!

An absolutely fantastic hotel! Brought my mum for the night while she was visiting from England and it exceeded our expectations. All staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was well maintained and had everything plus more that we could want. The decor and decoration was beautiful. The breakfast was the best one I have had in a hotel in the many years of travel I have had. Have already recommended to friends and if in the area again would book without a shadow of doubt!
Nothing.
