I sometimes visit Circleville on business and have always stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and avoided the Comfort Inn because of the bad reviews. However, this past week I had to come to Circleville on short notice and the Holiday Inn Express was booked. I thought about staying in Columbus, but this wasn't convenient. I therefore took a chance and booked a room at the Comfort Inn, expecting the worst. However, I was pleasantly surprised--the desk manager (a woman from Pakistan) was very friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed and very clean, as was the rest of the facility. The breakfast consisted of the standard 'free' fare (nothing cooked), but was ok. In short, I found this motel to be pretty much a wash with the nearby Holiday Inn Express. The biggest advantage of the Holiday was the proximity (walking distance) to restaurants. Perhaps there were problems in the past, but I didn't see or experience anything that would merit a negative review of the Comfort Inn today.
