What seems at first to be a run of the mill, potentiallly lower end establishment, turned out to be well worth the value in convenience, cleanliness, with a great staff. Definitely recommend if you are in the area, especially for a shorter stay.

Cute place, but needs some fine tuning. Rusty towel shelf and shower curtain without magnets at base to keep curtain from flying inward during shower. “Breakfast” is more continental…nothing hot except the waffle you make. Great location, but only an outdoor pool and a foosball table for amenities. Did appreciate the water provided.

Would stay here again

Cute little hotel/ motel. Clean, comfortable and safe. Not a lot of options at the free breakfast - but it was free! It looked like it had been recently renovated, the decor looked new. We were in town to tour Fairfield University. This was a close, affordable accommodations option. If we end up at the university, this will definitely be our go-to choice when visiting!

The breakfast was extremely limited we just walked out and went next door to the diner. 2 nights for 900 bucks should have offered more. Price gouged due to graduation we didnt know about but it kept the riff raff out. Neighboorhood was a bit sketchy.

The Circle Hotel is very convenient for our needs. It is in a great location. Our room was clean, and being on the back side away from the busy roads, was relatively quiet. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection of foods and beverages...excellent coffee of the month flavor! The staff were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was that the a/c unit in our room was noisy, and the toilet ran. If we were staying more than one night, we would have let management know.
