I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic—everything was easily accessible, and the view of the river was a nice bonus. The rooms were very clean, and the beds were super comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. While the TVs could use an upgrade, it wasn’t a major issue. Overall, a positive experience, and I’d stay here again.

Nice property about a block and a half from down town Woodstock. We stayed in a smaller building next door to the main hotel. The room was very large and quiet with a king bed. I would recommend staying at The Shire. Very convenient location.
