This was a very difficult stay. The room reeked of cigarettes, someone had pulled the smoke detectors off the wall and hidden them up on some shelves, the sheets and pillows had stains all over them, and there was other peoples’ hair and other unnamable things on the beds as if the sheets had never been washed and the beds had never been remade. I understand this was a budget motel, but no one should have to endure that even for the price paid.

The toilet was not flushing properly upon arrival, but was resolved by next morning. The room was old, but generally clean except for the fridge, the coffee pot and the microwave. The turn plate in the microwave is the wrong part, so doesnt turn and doesnt heat correctly. I'm guessing other guests had multiple cars as there was inadequate patking. The pet area was filthy.

The first night was quiet and peaceful, but the second night I heard loud footsteps above my head from 2:30 am til 6 am, so I was unable to get back up sleep.

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!
