The Shirley retreat was one of the most amazing hotels I have ever been to. If you’re looking for a quiet . This is the place if you’re not looking for a place with a pool I just want something quiet and easy. I would recommend sure retreat because it was so easy to get there and so easy to check in and the staff was just extra extraordinary. I would recommend it to anybody else.

This is my second stay at the hotel. The staff was helpful, property quiet and I felt safe. The room was also very clean and there was more than adequate parking for guests' vehicles. I recommend this hotel to anyone considering making a booking at this hotel.
