Pros:

Found a large zip bag with something inside I just threw outside. Shower tub water is very slow to drain. Towel rack gots rust.Floor is dirty. I can go on but it needs lots of updates including parking.

Pros:

The room was very unpleasant. The floors were peeling up, and there were a lot of flies hanging around. I did not feel like anything had been cleaned. I pulled back the duvet and found a dead fly in the sheets when I was preparing to go to bed. The bathroom was the worst - some serious maintenance needs to be done to make this place presentable at the very least.

Pros:

This was one of the worse places I have ever been to. There were flies and bugs all over inside our room. The condition of the room was extremely poor. The door had serious daylight between the frame and the door and dents all over the door that looked like if you gave it a half hearted kick it could easily be opened. The room also smelled really bad. We had booked 2 nights but had an emergency and had to leave after only 30 minutes of being there and that was probably for the best with the incredible poor quality and bugs. Asked for a refund for the 2nd night but have not seen anything...
The lady that helped us was nice.

Pros:

Checked in walked down to room manager opened door the key she gave me she said it was a master key it was pretty scratched up and worn out. I left the hotel for about 30 minutes came back downpour raining key would not open door went to front desk door was locked called the number no one would answer. Finally the manager called and said she was on her way back from getting her kids from school. Went down to my room still couldn’t get in Told her I needed a new key. The one she gave me is to scratched up would not work. She finally came back to my room with another key with the best Western logo on it, thank goodness that one worked, but it was still pretty scratched up. They need to invest in new key cards. Will not be staying there again do not recommend.

Pros:

The building is old and not well kept upon arrival our room wasn’t clean. Bathtub and toilet had dead bugs, beds both had stained dirty sheets. When we checked in we were told there wasn’t any towels but they would bring us some. When towels were brought I informed the young man that our room wasn’t properly clean he didn’t really seem to care but said he would tell his mom (the owner). The owner did end up cleaning our room before we returned for the night. Which was much better but I still ended up spraying Lysol on everything as it didn’t feel clean enough. The only good this was the bed was actually really comfy. And the owner did say she was sorry about our room but blamed it on her daughter. Definitely wouldn’t stay there again

Pros:

I really am only able to report on the customer service for this motel. We were booked here for one night, but got a call that day that Expedia had overbooked them and I didn’t have a room. I don’t really know if this was Expedia’s or this locations fault. The lady I spoke with was very nice and put us up at the Capri motel that she said was another hotel that they run. She even mentioned that the Capri motel has better rooms than Circle S. If that is truly the case, I would steer clear of this motel. Our room at Capri was completely run down. I didn’t feel safe that the room was truly locked. The blinds on the windows didn’t fully cover, so anyone would be able to peek in. The bathroom had a window without and type of covering! I didn’t feel like I could undress! I wouldn’t have wanted to anyway because the tub was gross! We only stayed a few hours because I couldn’t even sleep I was so uncomfortable. We checked in a midnight and was gone by 5am! So, beware about booking at Circle S, you might be moved to Capri.

Adequate if you are not picky.
Pros:

You get what you pay for.
The exterior is not inviting but the rooms are spacious.
My room was rundown but everything worked and was perfectly adequate for a one night stay.
The shower was surprisingly large.
When I met the manager she was friendly and gave me good advice on a tourist spot to visit that I didn’t know about.

Pros:

Horrible place to stay. The shower in the first room leaked all over the floor. They tried to caulk a piece of Styrofoam tubing to the floor to keep the water in the shower, but it didn’t work. It leaked all over the bathroom floor and made it very slick. The TV didn’t work

Pros:

The property owner is new so first off cut her some slack. She was probably the best hostess I've had outside of a bed and breakfast. Property is clean but is being worked on, so I understand there isnt a five star suite available but for the prices you will be pleasantly surprised by the room. Gering is walkable from there but take your car to Scottsbluff just beware the bridge crossing into scottsbluff was only one way and I ended up on a pleasant country detour to get back to Gering. Overall the room was good but the hostess was great.

Renee was quick to greet us on arrival. While the property shows its age, we were very comfortable. The room was clean, fridge and microwave worked well. Bathroom was clean with ample towels.
