Do not stay here. This was the grossest hotels I’ve stayed in. The room looked nothing like the photos and all the walls and surfaces were dirty. The bathroom was disgusting with a brown stained toilet and the whole room smelled like mold.

The room was very decent. It had nice features like a rainfall shower head, and full size bath. Room was not spotless, but was clean enough to be enjoyable with no problems. Check-in was very easy.

The room was super nice, as a solo traveller I really enjoyed it, however if you are staying with a friend or family instead of a partner it can be awkward as there is not a lot of bathroom privacy, however overall the hotel was super nice

The Circle Hotel was fine in every way for my needs. It was clean, comfortable, and friendly. I chose it for the location, and I would choose it again.
