Renee was quick to greet us on arrival. While the property shows its age, we were very comfortable. The room was clean, fridge and microwave worked well. Bathroom was clean with ample towels.

Adequate if you are not picky.
You get what you pay for.
The exterior is not inviting but the rooms are spacious.
My room was rundown but everything worked and was perfectly adequate for a one night stay.
The shower was surprisingly large.
When I met the manager she was friendly and gave me good advice on a tourist spot to visit that I didn’t know about.
I have stayed at the Circle S on numerous occasions. It's always a nice clean, comfortable room. I will definitely return and stay again when I'm in Gering or Scottsbluff.
Hostess had to get hot water fixed before I could use. Went sight seeing at chimney rock and Scott’s bluff and room was ready when I returned. Good view to west from motel. Convenience store next door.
This hotel is older. The parking lot has some potholes. A great effort has been put into making the room nice, and clean. The manager checked us in, brought us extra towels. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also larger than most I've seen in a hotel, it was also clean.
The people are nice, the rooms and the condition of the hotel is the worst i"ve ever stayed at. Think 1950's with no updates. Stuff works, but it's old dingy or brokent !
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.

Renae was excellent .took care of me very well and for sure makes me want to stay there again
Found a large zip bag with something inside I just threw outside. Shower tub water is very slow to drain. Towel rack gots rust.Floor is dirty. I can go on but it needs lots of updates including parking.
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.
