Crazy trip started with a 3:30am check-in which they handled flawlessly! Super-Comfortable Bed in room #5126. Monte Carlo posters & nice decor. Only reason not 5 stars is the alley out back had refuse pickup the two mornings we were there. While not lasting long, the trucks & dumpsters were quite a noisy start to the day. Avoid that back...

My grandparents live in Lancaster. For more than 10 years, my husband and I have made it a point to stay at Shaw's when they have a room. The rooms and small, but nicely appointed. They are NOT a kid friendly hotel---not the other reviewer being upset---it is obvious that it is not your circus circus type of place to... More

This is our fourth(4) stay at Shaw's. Our dinner (as always) was FIRST CLASS. Our roast beef was cooked as requested and our waitress was delightful. Our room spacious and as expected clean as a whistle. We will be back again.

Called three days prior to stay to inquire where in dinning room we could place balloon n flowers, and also where we would be allowed to decorate... More

We had a lovely stay at this small city hotel in the heart of Lancaster, Ohio, to celebrate a wedding anniversary. With a choice of 25 rooms, each lovingly decorated individually, our Louis XIV room was spacious, spotlessly clean, with a lovely view of the autumn ridge line and vintage old homes and churches. The two-person jacuzzi tub was especially... More

We booked a weekend at Shaw's Inn for my birthday so we could spend Saturday hiking at Hocking Hills. Unfortunately there wasn't any live music outside the hotel that Friday night and we were a little disappointed in the town itself. There wasn't much to see, except we did go to General Sherman's home which is a short walk away.... More

My husband and I have been staying at Shaw's several times a year for many years now. With our schedules we are rarely able to take even a week's vacation, so we treat ourselves to a few weekends away. I think the relaxation begins as soon as we reach the parking lot. We typically stay in one of the jacuzzi... More

My wife and I stayed at this bed and breakfast with another couple. The price was excellent for the location. I was expecting a small house but surprisingly walked into a building. The hallways are a bit tight, and only one elevator, but the building has a lot of charm, and the rooms feel like home. The restaurant is the... More

We were looking for a place to stay in the Hocking Hills area so we could spend a day at Lilyfest and things were pretty booked up nearby so when Shaw's came up we didn't know it was there or anything about it, but booked two nights. We were delighted to find a very old but well kept hotel in... More

The hotel was built in 1941 so is hardly ancient but it does have a certain comfortable elegance from a different time. I stayed in one of the lower priced "corporate" rooms and it was small but suited me just fine and was classy, clean, and comfortable. More money will get you more space. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent.... More
