When I arrived after the check in time the room wasn't ready and there was a very odd smell in the lobby. The owner manager is absolutely a wonderful hostess. The ad advertised there was breakfast and coffee in the morning and this was not true. It was an okay place to stay but I don't know if I would stay there again.

The property owner is new so first off cut her some slack. She was probably the best hostess I've had outside of a bed and breakfast. Property is clean but is being worked on, so I understand there isnt a five star suite available but for the prices you will be pleasantly surprised by the room. Gering is walkable from there but take your car to Scottsbluff just beware the bridge crossing into scottsbluff was only one way and I ended up on a pleasant country detour to get back to Gering. Overall the room was good but the hostess was great.

I really am only able to report on the customer service for this motel. We were booked here for one night, but got a call that day that Expedia had overbooked them and I didn’t have a room. I don’t really know if this was Expedia’s or this locations fault. The lady I spoke with was very nice and put us up at the Capri motel that she said was another hotel that they run. She even mentioned that the Capri motel has better rooms than Circle S. If that is truly the case, I would steer clear of this motel. Our room at Capri was completely run down. I didn’t feel safe that the room was truly locked. The blinds on the windows didn’t fully cover, so anyone would be able to peek in. The bathroom had a window without and type of covering! I didn’t feel like I could undress! I wouldn’t have wanted to anyway because the tub was gross! We only stayed a few hours because I couldn’t even sleep I was so uncomfortable. We checked in a midnight and was gone by 5am! So, beware about booking at Circle S, you might be moved to Capri.

Smoke detectors missing, no garbage can, the shower had used soap and shampoo on the shelf, which lead me to question if it was cleaned. The alarm had food particles on it. The tv remote didn’t work. The carpet below the a/c unit was saturated with water. Overall I would think it should be condemned until proper renovations are done. I couldn’t sleep thinking the bed probably had dirty sheets, so I left at 2:30 am ☹️

What I liked about the Circle S was how hard the staff works to make sure everytjing is clean, comfortable, and ready for their guests. Being an older motel the rates are more affordable than some of the newer, bright and shiney motels /hotels in the area. Amy, the manager, never sits down. She is constantly attending to the needs of her guests. The Circle S is in the process of being upgraded under new ownership. The new I liked that yhe Circle S is equipped with security cameras, so no worry about guest's bikes, etc being stolen, vandalism or breakins. The single bed room was comfortable and clean with good Wifi, microwave, refrigerator and a great TV. The bed was perfect. I liked that Amy puts a clean sheet over the top of the beds...I hate hotels that never change their bedspreads. This saves taking off the bedspread. You know everything is sterile. 5 Big-Stars !

There is nothing good about this property. The room wasn't ready at 4pm when I tried to check in. The attendant said she would ask the guy that would be next to me to be quite. I asked if he was a monthly rented to which she said yes. Then she asked how many beds I needed to which I replied at least one. She then said if I could wait 30 minutes a quieter room would be ready. I said I would go to dinner then come back. At 7:30pm when I returned I couldn't find her so I looked in the room I was to be assigned only to find the maintenance man installing a wall airconditioner and nailing up a board. The board was because the new air conditioner was smaller than the other and the hole needed to be covered so you couldn't see outside. I went back to the office and the attendant finally came. I told her this situation was not acceptable. She said she couldn't cancel my reservation but would call Expedia in the morning so I could be refunded my money. I had to go to another hotel and didnt stay at the Circle S Lodge. I called Expedia that night to try to get my money back but they couldn't issue a refund without approval from Circle S lodge. Expedia tried calling Circle S without success. I called Circle S and Expedia agian the next day without any resolution. Circle S will not answer the phone. I guess a refund will not be issued. Expedia should not allie Circle S to use their service. I will keep trying to get refund.

The room was very unpleasant. The floors were peeling up, and there were a lot of flies hanging around. I did not feel like anything had been cleaned. I pulled back the duvet and found a dead fly in the sheets when I was preparing to go to bed. The bathroom was the worst - some serious maintenance needs to be done to make this place presentable at the very least.

This was one of the worse places I have ever been to. There were flies and bugs all over inside our room. The condition of the room was extremely poor. The door had serious daylight between the frame and the door and dents all over the door that looked like if you gave it a half hearted kick it could easily be opened. The room also smelled really bad. We had booked 2 nights but had an emergency and had to leave after only 30 minutes of being there and that was probably for the best with the incredible poor quality and bugs. Asked for a refund for the 2nd night but have not seen anything... The lady that helped us was nice.
