The listing describes an attached restaurant where you can get breakfast and other meals. That restaurant is closed and there are few places in that town to eat. Those places are packed and have slow service. This town is far from somewhere else to eat. We left after one night and told the manager. Couldn't get a refund from Expedia. The place is clean but old and minimally furnished.

The place is rather dumpy. While it was as clean as I guess they could make it, our room shows no sign of being updated in a long time. There was no closet, just hooks on the wall. No clock, not even on the microwave. The sink was so small, there was no place to put anything. Loud AC/Heat, a flashing green light that blinked all day, and which I imagine was for the wifi. It is so basic, there was not even a picture on the wall. It may be worth noting we were put in the building nearest the street. There is a second building that looked like maybe it had seen more care.

Room was clean and did the job. They did have a nice TV with a lot of channels. Didn't spend much time in the room but it met our needs. Good water pressure and hot water in the shower. No complaints! It is an old Motel. So the floors are slightly uneven but the carpet was newer.

No one is on site. The restaurant was closed in the morning at evening, so not great. It was clean, but obviously remodeled on a tight budget. But not a lot of great options in Escalante, so this one is pretty good by comparison. It is convenient to come and go with a code without any other check in.

Liked: Cleanliness
Escalate is phenomenally beautiful. It's beautiful and has the best hiking on planet earth, in my opinion. The Circle of Destination Motel is conveniently located. My only qualms about the place are that it has thin walls that make it loud and difficult to sleep. The beds and pillows aren't comfortable. There's nobody there when you check-in. They send you an email shortly before check-in

We had a great stay at Circle of Destination Motel! Clean spacious room and check-in was very smooth(given the room number and door code the day before we arrived). We will definitely stay there again when in the area.

When we arrived we discovered that the motel is motel is not even staffed. We were supposed to have received an email but I didn’t have it (either because of problems with travelocity email or because we had booked <24 hours in advance). However I called them and they answered quickly and apologized for the inconvenience and gave me the info to get into my room. The room was clean and well kept. No issues other than the unusual check in process.
