Overall a great stay! Front desk agent( I think her name was Jordan) was great!! Give her a raise! Only thing that was eh was a rude women employee, presumably manager on the roof top bar around 11pm 1/18. We were told by the desk that the bar would be open later as it was busy. We were already on top floor so we walked upstairs via stairs, opened the door and an alarm went off. It completely scared us! She yelled at us in front of everyone “What do you think you’re doing!”. Gave two girls with already severe anxiety, panic attacks for an hour, but besides that we had a great time!

The shelburne was such a great stay. The staff was super friendly and kind. There was a couple of burn marks in the carpet and left over garbage from the previous stay. But other than that it was great!
