It was a very comfortable and nice place to stay with a lot of things within walking distance and having it next to the river was fun. They also have bonfires that you can sit by at night. It was a wonderful day.

The Shire is in a wonderful location and I would recommend for a short stay. They are in the midst of a renovation and the rooms and exterior are nice and well kept. My only issue was that the coffee bars were not well stocked all the time with the same variety and the ice machine was not well stocked as it ran out of water to produce ice during our 2 night stay. Otherwise, the place and location is wonderful.
