Very nicely renovated building. Everything inside looks new in this old charmer. Clean and quiet. I've read some people had a hard time entering, as there is a lock and no staff onsite. I just called the phone number listed on the sign on the door and was in contact with staff and was immediately given the entry codes and was in my room in a matter of seconds. There is A1 pizza within walking distance and they have incredible Donairs. Parking was adequate, with street parking in the front or a small lot in the back of the building. TV, coffee, shower, refrigerator, internet (albiet a little spotty). Everything i needed, and a comfortable bed a well. You could walk into town or down to the waterfront from here as well. It's a nice place. I recommend it.

A couple of explanations on my rating: gave staff and service 3/5 (mid) because there was no option to choose N/A. Self Checkin was available, so no reason to meet staff. Facilities are very limited despite the appearance of a bar and restaurant, but we may be too early given the seasonal nature of the location.

Room was very clean and tidy. It was recently renovated so the carpet and paint were very clean and crisp. I asked for an early check in and late check out and was quickly sent a message that it was not a problem. I’d recommend the hotel.

Incredibly historical, beautiful setting and since my traveling schedule did not permit live contact with the owner, they have al the means to accommodate, the man could not have been nicer, checking in before making sure all was good then checking after, again, making sure my stay was good which it was, only wish I coulda spent a little more time there, I plan to next summer.

It was a one night stay, so it did the trick. Kind of off season for this area, summertime will be a great time to be in the Shelburne area

It's a recent nicely renovated property, very clean. Like the hotel itself. And don't mind using self-check in and out progress. However, the stuff forgot to provide password accessing to the hotel, making it a big problem for us. Recommend them to put a contact phone number at the entrance if guest having check-in issue.

Excellent room but difficult to contact owner

I would have happily rated this property as excellent but I have emailed the property owner reference a small overcharge 3 times and not had a response which is a great shame As the room was superb , the whole place was immaculate and spotlessly clean

Thé room itself was clean, however there was no staff on property. There is no front desk and access code is provided to you via text to enter the lobby and the room. However, the property manager was responsive via text and phone call whenever there was an issue.

Excellent location. Our room was recently renovated to a high standard. Slowly getting used to the idea of "person-less" check-in.
