Disliked: Staff & service
Air conditioning isn’t efficient for the space. Tiny window unit in the bathroom. Main room was incredibly hot so we had to leave the windows open which brought in all the parking lot pints and noise. One bed was very comfortable, the second was completely different. Lower in height and you could feel the springs poking through.

Very cute motel. Quiet and clean. Walls seem thin as we acquired a neighbor about 1130pm who sounded like he was coming through the walls but I'm sure he was just settling in. Heard the same thing by 730a. Our particular king room (nice bed and nicely decorated room)smelled of urinal cakes and baby powder. Off putting to me, but we were happy with our stay.

Check in was a breeze. The staff was great - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was what I expected and what I wanted - a clean place to shower and sleep on a longer journey. I would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed at the Circle R during ski season on 2 or 3 occasions now. Their check-in process is efficient, and their rooms are economical, and everything is clean and well maintained. I have reservations to return again next month!

Property was clean and well kept. Desk staff was amazing. Room was clean and had nice colors. Sheets are microfiber which is not my preference. It was very hot. Pillows were pretty flat. Bed is a bed in a box which was better than some hotel/motels. The one thing that will cause my not to stay there in the summer again is the air conditioner is in the bathroom and does not cool the room very well. Desk did give me a fan which helped. We stayed in room 3 and the door didn't securely shut unless you turned the lock know. The first night we couldn't watch TV. They should give instructions on how to work door lock and how to work the tv. Overall very pleased. Will stay here again in winter or spring.
