This place was amazing. It was clean, spacious, and had everything you could need. Staff went above and beyond. We will definitely be back.

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.
