Shelby Motor Lodge was a lovely place to stay, staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was spotless clean, warm, welcoming and safe. The use of the washer/drier was handy. Recommended.

A nice new complex but we were put out the back in a prefab type building, with no communication. For the price we paid for the room it was disappointing, especially with no AC and being so far from the laundry. It was perfectly fine, just not for what we paid as I was expecting a bit of luxury compared to the rooms we had been staying in elsewhere that were $100 cheaper.

Wouldn’t stay here again

The shower water was cold and took 3 minutes to warm up and then would get really hot or cold throughout. There was no headboard on the bed and the wall was cold.
