We have stayed here 2 yr in a row. The lack of ice machine is the only thing to complain about. It's always clean, walking distance to coffee shop, restaraunt, etc. Not but 2 mi from Safeway. We like staying here.

The day time staff was one of the rudest I have ever experienced. We had to ask to open the hot tub. She gave my husband a hard time a out it telling us opening up the hot tub encouraged late checkout. We were staying for two days! She then gave us a hard time again when she finally unlocked it telling us she wouldn't open it again. We switched hotels because if the sheer rudeness and lack of ability to use the one amenity they offered. I guess you get what you pay for 😞!

This quaint little motel has small rooms with no place to put luggage, other than the floor. After seeing a spider on the bathroom floor right after arrival, I was reluctant to leave items on the floor. It was fairly clean. Bed was comfortable. Had to wait for check-in until nearly 4 pm. No one was onsite until 3:30.

A nice stay at a budget friendly property. Check in was fast and easy, and the clerk was friendly and efficient. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was clean and in good condition.

I have stayed here before, and it's a cool place, but it needs a good sprucing up. Not sure I would go back until they get this done -- there are other options in the area. No breakfast, the hot tub area needs to be cleaned up, and it needs some TLC.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Circle R Motel was wonderful. Check in was great, very quick and very nice staff. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean. Free EV charging was a bonus!! I also appreciated that shampoo/conditioner/etc. were provided but in an environmentally-friendly way. Perfect place to rest to fuel our outdoor adventures.

Overpriced and disgusting

I was expecting a budget motel, but I was at least expecting it to not be incredibly filthy. Dog hair everywhere, dust and mold in the corners, ants crawling not the floor, fried electrical sockets that are a safety hazard. The beds were extremely uncomfortable - thin mattress on a box spring. My fridge didn't work and the guy at the front desk just said "sorry" (I had to throw out a bunch of perishable things I bought). I've stayed in plenty of budget places, so I don't have high expectations, but this was one of the worst. Only plus was that it was quiet and the A/C window unit was strong (but also incredibly noisy - bring earplugs). I think I paid $180 a night for this filth which is just a racket. I booked two nights but left after the first due to the condition.
