Top Shelby Hotel Reviews

Tru by Hilton Gastonia

8/10 Good

"Please keep this property nice and clean the bathroom and make sure the cleaners change the pillows case for all pillows. Oils from prior guests stink."

University Inn

8/10 Good

"Needed a two night stay to visit family in the area. The staff is phenomenal. The biggest reason for my review is to announce that I appreciated them greatly. Super friendly, good conversation and patient. My husband, two children and I fit comfortably in the two queen bed room. My mother had to purchase her own room due to fire safety (completely understandable). We swam in the pool the first night but did not stay in long due to an overwhelming smell. A chemical, pungent odor is how I can describe it. Not terrible, but not my favorite. Hot tub did not look like it was bubbly and worth getting into. Super quiet atmosphere. My husband had an eerie feeling. It didn’t bother me. While the rooms were neat and made up, I did not feel clean sleeping there. The blankets felt scratchy so I would suggest bringing your own. But it had amenities that others did not have in the area. The outdoors are beautiful there! There are picnic tables in the back to have lunch and what not."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Spartanburg-North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The place was nice and clean. We did have to wait a little bit for the staff to show up. Not sure why the staff was not there. We could not find a bell to ring. After the receptionist arrived we were checked in promptly. She was very kind. Overall we had a nice stay."

Comfort Suites Gastonia - Charlotte

10/10 Excellent

"Only a one night stop on our travels, but the young lady checking us in was very pleasant. She told us about things in the area to visit during our short stay. However when we woke up the next morning there were 2 dead roaches on our floor. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. All in all I would stay here again."
