Remodeled rooms so what you see in the photos is actual rooms at the property. Stairs to second floor could use some repairs - the metal to hold the carpet down was coming off. The restaurant Blondies attached to the hotel had great breakfast and nice friendly staff

Shelton has only 2 options and I went to visit my son in assisted living so I tried both. I saved $50 by staying here on a Saturday night. It had many stairs to the second floor and no alternative which I had no choice and found extremely difficult being older and having a carry on suitcase to lug up…. This should be made more clear in the advertising!!! Otherwise, it was clean as possible but very outdated and adequate if you are not too picky. Excellent home style cafe adjoining and not too far from more shopping by car.

The motel was in downtown Shelton, so very convenient. The rooms were in partial upgrade mode. The stairs to the upper floor where we were located needed repair/replacement of the carpet as the top step carpet was taped down with frayed duct tape. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They don't have a complimentary breakfast, but have a nice cafe that is attached to the motel. We would probably stay there again if the outdoor maintenance to the stairs, etc.was completed.

Well where to start? This place is a dump....LONG past it's prime. The chairs in the room where stained and filthy, outside the garbage cans on both floors overflowing, carpet filthy. In short pretty darn grim and we do not complain easily! The manager grudgingly gave us a couple of extra pillows when we asked... Toilet just barely flushed, water pressure very low...on a good note there was hot water! But without a doubt the worst property we have stayed at in a LONG time! If you need to stay in Shelton and this is the only place available....sleep in your car! Much better option! Mike and Ally 🇨🇦

The front office was a cluttered mess when we checked in. You could tell the owners had tried to update the rooms. Overall it wasn’t a bad update except the bathroom ceiling fan was open (no fan cover) so you could see above the ceiling, the handles to the shower/tub were mismatched and didn’t fit, the curtains were too small for the window so they didn’t completely cover the window making privacy impossible. The place is fine if you just need a place to lay your head for a night, but I wouldn’t stay there for an extended stay.

Terrible check in experience. Received a VM at 5:22 telling me I hadn't checked in yet, and to let me know that if I am going to check in after 9:30 to give them a call. Got to the property at 5:40 to check in, and was greeted with a locked door and a hand written sign that said, "Sorry Call me" with a number to call. Called the number went straight to VM stating the VM was full. Called the number to the Hotel, no answer. Not able to check in. Drove around the drug addict infested town, continued to call the hotel until someone answered. An old asian man finally answered, but was incredibly difficult to understand. Went check in with a little old korean couple that owned the place. Couldn't speak to them let alone understand anything they said. The place is SUPER old and outdated, (floor lamps & landline phones) rooms are dirty, they have the nastiest carpets, and the room smelled like cat piss. Open the back window and all you see are drug addicts sleeping in the grass of church behind the hotel.

Even though they live on the premises, they won't answer the phone. If you accidently lock yourself out or need anything, you are on your own.

Enjoyed our stay at Shelton Inn immensely. So nice that a motel in the "old" style can be updated to fit the needs of today. Shelton Inn provides for the basics of an overnight stay (or two or three) in simple elegance. Our room was clean, quiet and spacious. The town/city of Shelton is nicely located to provide access to all that the peninsula has to offer. I would recommend the Shelton Inn to anyone and if in the area again it would be a very short search for a great place to stay.
