When I went to use the toilet right after checking in, there was poop splatter on the bowl. The rest of the room seemed clean. After being there for a couple hours with the space heater on high, the room was still only at 60 degrees. I asked the front desk if they had any extras space heaters/rooms available and he said they do not and dropped off an extra blanket. It was a very cold night and my room was 55 in the morning. So cold that the pipes had frozen and I couldn't even take a hot shower to warm up. Had they given me an extra heater (or provided a newer one that wasn't rusted), or just fixed the wall unit in the room, damage to the pipes could have been prevented. I will not be staying here again.

I have stayed at the Circle R before and had a good experience. This time was very different. The deadbolt on my door wouldn't lock. I didn't feel safe knowing that anyone with the combination code could enter my room. When I asked for a refund the front desk told me she needed to talk to management. I also sent management an email and never heard back. Also the heating barely worked. They had space heaters in the rooms because they were aware that the heating was "inadequate." How can you ethically rent out hotel rooms without adequate heating in the winter?! My family's room next door also had black mold on the bathroom ceiling. I ended up leaving and getting a room down the road. It was a very stressful experience and management is unresponsive.

It was cheap, but it was just enough as far as a place to sleep. Staying there during an arctic front. They need better insulation on the base of the front doors to keep the outside chill from coming in. Heat, tv, fridge, and microwave all worked.Sheets are very thin, so either keep the heat up or bring extra pj’s.

I’ve stayed here about five times over the years, and overall it’s a decent place to stay. It’s very affordable and the rooms are cute, though they can vary quite a bit. In my experience the rooms are usually clean, but the bathrooms and laundry could use more attention. That said, the staff are friendly, and it’s one of the cheapest places you can stay, especially with a hot tub included. If you’re okay with some wear and tear, it’s a good value for the price.

Check in was a breeze. The staff was great - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was what I expected and what I wanted - a clean place to shower and sleep on a longer journey. I would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed at the Circle R during ski season on 2 or 3 occasions now. Their check-in process is efficient, and their rooms are economical, and everything is clean and well maintained. I have reservations to return again next month!
