The property is well maintained. Its staff is so friendly and helpful as well. We loved The River House with the beautiful terrace and rocking chairs overlooking the river. So peaceful. The amenities and sitting room were a lovely touch.
The room was beautiful, amazing view of the river with a balcony. Plenty of parking and it was close to everything in town. We really enjoyed our stay.

Honestly, If I'd paid half as much for this property I'd have no complaints. But I paid Marriott prices for Econolodge accommodations. My room wasn't cleaned at all while I was there. The beds sank toward the center so I was sleeping on top of my husband. The carpets, furniture, and bathrooms were dingy. It was just way too much money for what I ended up getting.
Great hotel, room was cute and with a nice view. 5 min walk to downtown. If we needed anything we just texted the front desk and they got us what we needed. Would stay again!
I was so disappointed in the way this property handled what was a very dangerous weather situation. They clearly do not value their guests at all. I was really looking forward to bringing my kids up but will absolutely never be doing so after their clear disregard for their guests safety and wellbeing. Disappointing.
We spend a weekend at the shire every winter and absolutely love it! It’s walkable to the heart of Woodstock, close to Killington, and even allows us to bring our dog! Can’t wait for next year!
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.
