We were here for a weekend of circus. Circus World Museum and the parade were great. This motel was in town and made it easy to do all the things we wanted to do and have a safe and comfortable place to come back to. Baraboo is a beautiful, peaceful little town. We may come back for the county fair in July!

The front desk staff was not very friendly, although we did arrive quite late at night. Our room was tidy, but by no means clean and smelt strongly of cigarettes. The beds were fine and check out was easy.

Good stay.

Overall the experience was good. The room was comfortable and the area was quiet. The only upsetting part was there were too many flies that kept getting inside the room.

Stayed there over this weekend for a night. It was a place to lay our heads, we didn’t expect a ton more and this did the trick. The room did smell of smoke. And there were some flies in the room. However, it’s a motel with doors to the outside. We were as guilty as anyone for standing with the door open, here and there, no doubt letting flies in. So, fairly understandable that they would be there. Other than that, it was easy check in. The room was quite clean and seems fairly newly remodeled. We were there in a bad storm with tornado warnings. We did lose power, but staff was there to make sure we had flashlights and were ok and kept informed of the weather. Nice staff and clean rooms. Perfect for what we needed.

Don't book the hotel. Hotel is disgusting. The first room we were given had hair and stains on the sheets, dead bugs in the floor, nothing had been swept and cleaned in a while and I wonder of they ever clean their sheets. We were given another room when I went back to front desk unhappy with the first room. The second room wasn't much better. Floors were better but the sheets were so gross with stains and other peoples hair. We went to another hotel. They did give me a refund on the room.
