room smelled like mildew bathroom was a mess hair over the floor beds were like sleeping on floor hard as a rock

It was really gross. They are in no shape to be running a hotel.

Hotel staff was rude. Room was very outdated, musty and damp. We question how much cleaning is done as there was dust everywhere, floor did not appear to have been vaccuumed, hair on towels and in shower.

My son who can sleep almost anywhere had... More

I have stayed at the Shamrock inn many times in the past. I have never had a bad experience there. The odor( that was reported in another reveiw) comes from the building across the street. It is the Berkely factory they are manufacuring fishing lures there. It is not that bad. The people at the Shamrock have always been very... More
