Top Shelltown Hotel Reviews

The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very kind and helpful at all hours of the day. If we stayed again, we would opt for the bigger, classic room than a smaller premier room, as the upgrades/renovations were nice but didn't make enough of a difference to us. Overall, the property was very quiet and clean for being downtown and it was walkable to almost everything on our itinerary."

Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic family getaway at the Gaylord and will definitely be back! The facility was beautiful, the staff was friendly, and our room was spotless—we had a nice bay view despite some ongoing construction. The food and drinks were top-notch, especially the sushi at Taiyō, the Wagyu burger and mussels at Trēō Kitchen + Bar, and the cocktails in the lobby lounge. My 7-year-old loved the game room, but the main highlight was definitely the water park. We spent three full days at the pools, loved every minute, and can't wait to return!"
