This property does not look like the pictures online. It was clean and had a great location, but past that, it was just an older motel that had been painted and cleaned up. There was no real lobby or check-in desk. They offered coffee in the morning, but it was broken the day we stayed. The view on the back side was pretty, but I really felt like we were in a 2 star motel. No extra amenities, and the furniture looked like it was all from a thrift store; worn out and needed updating. I was hoping for the cost to find it as beautiful as it is in the photos online. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Note, the hotel room door opens to the outside. There was no interior hallway to our room. This made it feel a little unsafe for two women traveling alone.

We only stayed 1 night but it was clean and comfortable. There isn't always someone at the front desk but that wasn't a concern for us. The proximity to the historic area - an easy walk - was also wonderful.

The Shire is close to all the shops downtown, and even has a market across the street. There’s a view slot a small river as well. Staff was very friendly. Negatives were a bathroom door that was very difficult to close properly, only half a roll of TP with no extras in the room, no tissues, etc… Very bare bones.

Our room was terrible. They said we were on the first floor but had to go down many steps arounds the back. The room was not comfortable. The bathroom door would not close and needed updating. My family's room was much nicer and more comfortable. The price was over $500 nightly. Not worth it

Poor value for the price. Minimally staffed with limited check in time and no breakfast. Shower difficult to figure out, and half the outlets didn’t work to charge phones. Level of service was that of a motel.

We loved the river out back, and places to sit. We loved having a swing on our porch. The staff was excellent. I wasn’t keen on the very tiny shower stall, I kept hitting my elbows, and the jets on the tub looked dirty, so we didn’t use it. There was no breakfast offered and hard to find in town.

We recently stayed at the Shire and out of the hotels I’ve ever stayed at this hands down was the worse !! So the view facing the river is great and only positive thing. The room we had was a king bed river view room 119 and inside looked nothing like the pictures . Mold outside and inside the room , worn out furniture, carpet is wore out , has a portable space heater for heat , door is hard to lock , when you walk in the floor is uneven but hard to see why there’s a worn out rug covering the worn out carpet , the fire pits outback now have cheap sterno inserts instead of actual wood logs like pictured , when someone is in the room above you all you here is footsteps when someone walks above you spent one night listening for hours someone’s dogs barking that was left in there room , as soon as you walk in the room you can smell strong musty smell , the lobby is about 8 ft x 10 Ft no formal lobby. If we had know any of these we would have spent the extra to stay at Woodstock resort or drive back to Stowe . Not sure how it’s considered a 3 star hotel
