The toilet was not flushing properly upon arrival, but was resolved by next morning. The room was old, but generally clean except for the fridge, the coffee pot and the microwave. The turn plate in the microwave is the wrong part, so doesnt turn and doesnt heat correctly. I'm guessing other guests had multiple cars as there was inadequate patking. The pet area was filthy.

The first night was quiet and peaceful, but the second night I heard loud footsteps above my head from 2:30 am til 6 am, so I was unable to get back up sleep.

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!
