It is a simple hotel. It’s very clean. There is free breakfast. I would stay there again. It’s is located in a spot where there are many restaurants, bars and shopping centers.

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!

Great customer service at the right time!
Had a post surgery stay with our son, which was an emergency. After travelling hours on a red eye flight, James at the front desk made our stay that much more enjoyable. He got us an accessible room, early check in, late check out and helped us out in countless other ways. This place is great if staying in Fairfield. We love The Circle and it's location and staff, and especially James! Top Notch!

Solid local hotel
Stayed overnight while visiting colleges in the area. Overall the room was good. One complaint is that the rooms were a little dark once the blinds are drawn. Three lamps help somewhat but celinging/overhead lights would be best.

The room was excellent but with staying for 2 nights, we needed more than 2 washcloths. Although we asked for extras at the front desk, they were never dropped off and with no phone in the room and returning late in the evening, we went without.

It's been a while
I visited here about 5 years ago and it's improved a lot since then, at least the rooms have. They're a lot more modern and feel clean. The TVs have Roku installed but you can still change the HDMI to input anything that you have with you. The beds are hard in my opinion. Bathrooms are pretty basic and ours had a chair for some extra assistance if needed in the shower.

Best dog-friendly option
Best option for traveling with dogs. Very reasonable pet fee and at the time of our stay allowed 2 dogs up to 50 lbs - which most hotels do not. Everything was very clean.

Unpleasant experience
As a senior, given a second floor room was impossible since the hotel did not have an elevator. We then received a first floor room which reeked disinfectant. Bathroom was very small and the room lacked a dresser for clothes and the TV did not have cable.
