I had an extremely disappointing stay at this hotel. Upon entering my room, I noticed hair everywhere—on the bed, in the bathroom, and even on the furniture. It was clear the cleaning standards were not up to par. The towels provided were another issue; they turned yellow in the water, which was both unsettling and unsanitary. Adding to the discomfort, there was visible mold and rust in several areas, including the bathroom and air vents. It gave the room an overall neglected and unhygienic feel. To top it off, the entire hotel felt outdated, with worn-out decor and furniture that looked like it hadn’t been replaced or maintained in years. For the price I paid, I expected far better conditions. I would not recommend staying here until significant improvements are made.

20 years ago hotel circle was a great place to stay. Now this hotel is run down decaying and for the same price you could say someplace else in a nicer hotel. This hotel would be 49.95 room just a few years ago. Complete garbage

The hotel it’s self was nice. The issue was the parking, the garage was so small and tight and doesn’t even connect to a hotel entrance. Not to mention the extra charge to park your vehicle in this garage. My husband has a handicap and the two spaces at the front were always occupied and not necessarily by anyone with a license plate or plaque.

The entire hotel smelled like smoke & weed. The rooms smell like they’ve been smoke in. The tub wouldn’t drain the water while showering which felt gross when showering. They have a $33 a DAY parking. I’ve never stayed in a Hotel that was already expensive charge for parking PER DAY. the $200 deposit was gone just with parking and a bunch of other “fees”. A total of $800 for a cigarette dirty smelling hotel was absolutely ridiculous. Take your money somewhere else.
