Independent, Brownsville, Vermont

"The staff was the best part of this stay. They were friendly and welcoming. The room was very spacious and comfortable for the price."

"The service was outstanding! I stayed at the hotel because I had a back injury, and Chelsea at the front desk provided me a room on the first floor and offered to get me ice and help me out however she could. The facilities were clean and well appointed. It's a nice place to stay and there is a dinner option next door."

"My recent stay exceeded my expectations regarding hotel room prices, comfort of the bed and pillows, large breakfast and hot shower. Unfortunately most staff were not very friendly or accommodating minus the one sweet girl at the front desk who was able to allow us a late checkout time. "

"Forth time at The Shire, everything was wonderful!! "

"Beautiful area, outside of facility looks dated, but that’s not realistic to change. Inside has had a nice update. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had an inconsiderate and noisy person upstairs over us, just a matter of who is there. We would surely stay here again."

"Bed was more comfortable than home. Dinner at Richardson’s Grill was fantastic. Breakfast buffet was mediocre. Room was very nice but bathroom needed updating."

"Reasonable cost. Value great. Staff friendly"

"The hotel staff are all very very friendly. I like them a lot! The building is an old apartment building, not an excellent property, but pretty well managed. My suggestion to guest here is to not have breakfast in the downstair smoothie place. The smoothie is made out of some pre-mixed powder and did not strike us to be healthy or tasty. And it is expensive. I like the Turkish restaurant on the corner - forgot its name - though also pretty expensive. it seems nothing around the area is priced...
