I liked the hotel but not crazy about the room this time. It did overlook the river but very little privacy. Overall a very good place for the price. Stayed there before with a much better room

Frustrated by The Shire management.
Very disappointed with The Shire Woodstock. A nice property but clearly having major challenges with management/staffing. The manager assured me she would follow up with me after many crossed wires on our room and the hotel communication and now a few weeks later I have heard nothing. I assume she just said all of that to try to make me happy but had no intention of remedying the situation. We received MULTIPLE emails before we checked in to the hotel about our stay but found it almost impossible to communicate with the hotel. We booked a room with two queen beds and river view (by the way most/all rooms have a view) and were told room was not available on day of check in. Promised we would be given two rooms instead - but when we checked in the staff gaslighted us. We arrived around 6 pm and asked for suggestions on where to eat and told that we likely would find no place to eat (?). Gentle reader, we did find a place to eat on our own.

The washcloths were threadbare, no coffee/tea in the room, no iron, no microwave. I would expect better for the cost. Also, at check-in we were given a number of restaurants to try. All of them were closed. The room key had number 44 but the number was 409, which was confusing. Then while we were relaxing, other people came into our room because they were given our key by mistake.

Extremely disappointing and i am not sure to blame the motel or hotel.com. i contracted for a room on the hotel.com site that included a balcony..it was the ONLY one listed with two beds on ‘choose your room’. On arrival, we were given a two bed room with a pathetic window. Then..the next morning, at 6:30 am went for coffee…no water in ‘pot’ and water in dispenser was out…so up the stairs to my room to fill the coffee pot…several of us not happy and another woman tried to you the food dispenser to have THAT jam. One of the gardeners also left a hose on spewing down a hill??? Things just did not seem organized around there to be honest.
