My family stayed here during the Geocaching 2013 MOGA Mega-Event. The rooms were comfortable and the staff was terrific! The "lobby" is a beautiful house with lots of personality. They even have a "Goodwill Ambassador Cat" - well, that's my interpretation of Brody (Brodie?) the resident cat. He patrolled the grounds and visited with us on several occasions. We invited... More

We were in town this past weekend for the MOGA geocaching event. Our rooms were comfortable, and the staff was wonderful. The inn's resident kitty--Brody--came by and inspected our rooms everyday. He was a delightful, friendly cat. We would definitely return to this friendly little inn and recommend it highly!

As usual, a great stay. I stay here three or four times a year. Why change when everything works? Clean rooms, comfortable beds, great staff, easy parking, no problems. New TV. Large dressing area. Quiet.

We have stayed here several times over the years and have always had a reasonable experience. If you are in the Shelbyville area, it would be hard to find anything better without driving over 25 miles. They have two sections - we have never stayed in the old section. The rooms in the new section are large and beds are... More

We found this gem of a hotel and now stay once a month. It is spotless and the staff goes out of their way to make sure our visit is the best it can be. We have made reservations and we have just shown up. Each time is it exactly like the time before, not a thing out of place... More

Small hotel but there is a lot of pride in keeping it up. I have to stay here once a year for business and the owner always remembers me. Rooms are always clean. In 4 years I have never once had a complaint.

I have stayed here several times, in different rooms, and it is always great. The rooms are always clean and attractive. Staff is courteous and always helpful. It's a small family operation, and they make me feel at home every time. It's convenient to the lake and to small towns in the area where I need to go. McDonald's is... More

We just had our family reunion and we all stayed at The Shelby Inn. It was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The air conditioning was wonderful considering how hot and humid it was while we were there. The only downfall was that they were advertising free breakfast which they did not offer, but said they lowered the price of the... More
