The front desk staff was not very friendly, although we did arrive quite late at night. Our room was tidy, but by no means clean and smelt strongly of cigarettes. The beds were fine and check out was easy.

We were here for a weekend of circus. Circus World Museum and the parade were great. This motel was in town and made it easy to do all the things we wanted to do and have a safe and comfortable place to come back to. Baraboo is a beautiful, peaceful little town. We may come back for the county fair in July!

Good stay.

Overall the experience was good. The room was comfortable and the area was quiet. The only upsetting part was there were too many flies that kept getting inside the room.

Stayed there over this weekend for a night. It was a place to lay our heads, we didn’t expect a ton more and this did the trick. The room did smell of smoke. And there were some flies in the room. However, it’s a motel with doors to the outside. We were as guilty as anyone for standing with the door open, here and there, no doubt letting flies in. So, fairly understandable that they would be there. Other than that, it was easy check in. The room was quite clean and seems fairly newly remodeled. We were there in a bad storm with tornado warnings. We did lose power, but staff was there to make sure we had flashlights and were ok and kept informed of the weather. Nice staff and clean rooms. Perfect for what we needed.

Was decent for the price. Bed linen needs to be replaced or washed or changed more frequently if not used regularly. Took limen off of both beds in the room to complete 1 “clean” bed that I was comfortable to sleep on. Otherwise - decent and convenient for the price.
