The floor was very creaky and noisy. But the main complaint is that the Cafe was closed with no signs saying why. The reservation we booked and the confirmation we received highlights the Cafe and having breakfast is important to us, but there was nothing. If the Cafe is seasonal, why not tell us?

The door to the room assigned to my travel companion had been kicked in. We were told that housekeeping did not notice the lock torn from the door or the latch plate missing. We decided not to stay as they could not accommodate us with another room.

Unfortunately we were unable to stay here due to a big safety concern for one of the ladies we were traveling with. Her room was unable to be locked properly. The owner was unaware of the damage to the door and apologized. She also stated that we would be receiving a refund. I am awaiting the credit to my credit card.

My husband and I were on a camping trip in Moab and Escalante, but unfortunately we both got very sick so we had to find a room to be more comfortable. The Circle of Destination Motel exceeded our expectations. The room was very clean and welcoming, and the host was very nice and friendly. This motel is located very close to the main road in Escalante. However, we were surprised how very quiet it was. No car noise could be heard; we even slept with the window open. This motel is pet friendly, and also very close to dining and grocery store. I highly recommend the organic store on the Main street where you can also get coffee, homemade pastries, bread, and delicious sandwiches.

Ideally located for our hike to Coyote Gulch. However, we arrived super late due to a traffic detour (they were very accommodating to our late arrival) and the floors creaked so bad we felt like we couldn’t walk around to prep our packs for the next days hike. We tried our best to be quiet, but felt like every step was annoying our neighbors. Super cute area, but floors were very noisy.
