Nice stay for 2 weeks in a x2 double bed with kitchenette. Although small kitchen. Had exactly what was required. Microwave over, sink, fridge freezer and a small hob. Decent size bathroom with walk in shower. Room cleaned every 2-3 days to a good standard with fresh towels and linen.

For the motel it will be 5 stars review. For the price which I paid- horrible smell, minimalism, and noisy dog in the next door room were too much for me.

I hesitated to come back to The Circle because my last visit (2024) wasn’t the best experience due to a staff-related issue. But every other time I stayed before had been wonderful, so I decided to give it another chance— and I’m so glad I did! 🌟 This time, everything was simply amazing. The place looks impeccable, the staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and truly focused on making everything easier for us so we could fully enjoy our vacation. 💛 The pool was so refreshing, and beach being just a short walk/ride away from the hotel felt like paradise. 🌴✨ I’m so happy I came back, and I’m already looking forward to returning this summer!

Amazing stay. Wish we’d booked for longer than one night. Cliff the owner couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. The pool area was great and being able to walk into Hyannis was a huge bonus. Would highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be back!
