Top Shirley Hotel Reviews

Kineo View Lodge

Kineo View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Nice place. Good little continental breakfast. **** Only complaint which was out of their control was down below the hill there was some sort of construction or quarrying operation going on, so from about 3-4am on there was a constant loud rumbling sound going on. 15-20 seconds then nothing for a minute then 15-20 seconds again and that repeated all morning through when we left at 7:15am. Weird for a Sunday morning. I didn’t inquire about it because I figured it was out of their hands and just unfortunate. **** We did also find some moose near by. We just drove around at dusk on timber company land and found 3 to watch."
