Be aware that this is a low grade motel. I paid extra through Expedia to be charged at the peroperty at the time of check in but I was charged two days before arrival. We ended up not staying at the motel and they refused to refund us. Terrible service by both Expedia and the property.

Great Location and Comfortable Stay

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic—everything was easily accessible, and the view of the river was a nice bonus. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were super comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. While the TVs could use an upgrade, it wasn’t a major issue. Overall, a positive experience, and I’d stay here again.

This is a lovely town, and the hotel itself is fairly nice, but I was very unhappy that the back door to our room did not lock. We were on the ground floor, so that meant anyone could enter at any time from the outside. Management did not fix it even though we let them know about the safety problem.

We had a premium king room which was lovely. It had a balcony and the room overlooked the river, fields and mountains. We stayed there for 4 nights. The rooms are not serviced during your stay. However, you can request clean towels etc if you need them.

I thought The Shire was great!. Very clean. Friendly staff. Great coffee. Quiet. Walking distance to town. This is a motel like set up. No restaurant but plenty around and a grocery store across the street. Rugs in rooms. I don’t like that but they were very clean. Excellent shampoo, high quality body cream that smelled great! Nice touch!

Many thanks!

This is a very convenient location. There is a grocery store across the street and the shops of Woodstock are a 5 minute walk. I also appreciate how the staff worked with my recent knee injury. They got me a downstairs room with a walk-in shower so I could avoid further injury. An excellent stay overall!

Nice property about a block and a half from down town Woodstock. We stayed in a smaller building next door to the main hotel. The room was very large and quiet with a king bed. I would recommend staying at The Shire. Very convenient location.
