Would go again

The hotel was nice. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Pool was nice but could use a few more lounges and umbrellas (that do t blow over in the wind).

Quick overnight stay and we were pleasantly impressed. The room was clean and comfortable and looked to have been recently painted. I also loved the new- friendly garden outside our room.

One Summer Night

We were really happy with the check-in process, room and pool. Breakfast was simple but worked well for us (including our two toddlers). Everything was clean - not updated but well maintained. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect stay.

It was clean. Staff was friendly. Room was spacious and had everything you need.
Kelly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent basic motel

Friendly staff, great outdoor pool, comfortable bed, powerful shower water pressure, reasonably close to concert venue. Our room had a small refrigerator but no microwave. Blackout shades were nice but once opened there is zero privacy curtains to let in light. We would probably stay here again, maybe in an upgraded room. My only major complaint is our room had a strange off putting odor. My husband said it was smoke, I thought it smelled like a wet dog. We don’t smoke and didn’t bring our dogs. Left the door open and let the room air out a bit.

Great customer service at the right time!

Had a post surgery stay with our son, which was an emergency. After travelling hours on a red eye flight, James at the front desk made our stay that much more enjoyable. He got us an accessible room, early check in, late check out and helped us out in countless other ways. This place is great if staying in Fairfield. We love The Circle and it's location and staff, and especially James! Top Notch!
