They were at-the-ready for anything I needed during my stay, and very sympathetic as to my reason for this trip. I have been at this hotel and always had a very good stay. However, this time just sealed the deal, so I will definitely go back here.

- Ami (10/5): Staff was great and the room was clean. Found it to every quiet even though it was next to a highway. - Quiet and clean
- Erin (9/5): -
- Amber (4/5): More like a $90 hotel room with type of bedding and bathrooms provided. - Location, was fairly clean. Beds are very uncomfortable, shower needs repair, noise can be heard above, in hallways and other rooms. Too expensive for type of room and property.
- McMaster (9/5): Amazing for the price. - It was very clean, updated nicely, good breakfast, and the bed was very comfortable. For the money this may have been the best hotel i have ever stayed in. Nothing really
- Sapp (8/5): - Convenient location and friendly staff.
- lorigA5523XJ (4/5): $60 hotel charging $130 - The front desk staff was amazing! The room was not. The hallway carpet had not been vacuumed in quite sometime. The toilet paper roll holder was missing. When we arrived the toilet paper was sitting on the counter. The dresser drawer would open whenever you walked by. The most disturbing issue was the live bug on the nightstand. The complimentary breakfast looked good, however, i was not able to experience it due to a guest bringing their 60lb dog into the breakfast area. I m highly allergic to pet dander. Definitely would not recommend this establishment. Paid $130 a night....felt like a $60 hotel. Did NOT get what we paid for.
- Dwight (8/5): - It is conveniently located right off St. Rd.31
- kathryn paige (9/5): I will return - My dog was welcome. She barked some the first night and I asked to be moved to the top floor at the end of the hallway when we returned and this worked well and the staff was very accommodating It is noticeable that the hallway carpet needs cleaned
- angela (8/5): -
- kathryn paige (9/5): Great stay and great value - Staff was excellent. Breakfast was great. Will be staying again later this week. Have no complaints
- Randy (10/5): Nic place - Convient Convient
- Vickie (9/5): -
- Sara (8/5): - Breakfast was terrible. Pancake maker was out of mix, everything else was cold and soggy.
- Ralph (10/5): - It was a nice place to stay and met our needs.
- Scott (10/5): -
- G3018PDmarcias (10/5): Love visiting Peru and staying here - As always everyone was very kind. Room was clean and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was good also. We stay here once a year , or anytime we visit the area. Thank you all so much .
- Kathleen (8/5): I’d recommend, and bonus, its pet friendly with very affordable pet fee - The staff was very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. Check in and check out was super easy, would absolutely stay there again Nothing, it was a nice place for for cost , very affordable
- Pamela (4/5): Save your money. Stay elsewhere - Definitely not worth the money. The rooms are in great need of remodeling. Even though they recently put vinyl laminate flooring down the shower, stool and windows show aging. There was wallpaper lifting off the wall underneath window from apparent leak and what looks like mold. Photo attached. Mattress had a definite bow to it and sheets were very old and extremely thin. Not worth the money. Stay elsewhere.
- R9218AArebeccac (10/5): Vacation stay - Rooms are very clean, recently renovated. Nice breakfast buffet, fresh and hot. Property nicely maintained. Will stay there again.
- Bruce (4/5): - Will not go back unless they remodelled

- Monica Saylor (10/5): -

- Mattb0671 (7/5): -
- Sydney (10/5): - I love this property and we have stayed here a couple times now. Always pretty clean, but a little outdated. The guy who has checked us in both times has been awesome. Have gotten a king bed room every time. Definitely recommend staying here!
- Suzanne (10/5): We wIll be back!! - Our room was clean and comfortable, the pool was beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful!

- Catherine (10/5): -
- davekX5154MU (2/5): - Do not allow them to put you in room 222. On the second level, the room has french doors that overlook the indoor pool. There is no door seal so the room smells like pool chemicals. Worst of all, the doors and wall around the door is full of mold. The wallpaper was coming up, and you could see mold all over the wall. Shame on you Best Western for not addressing this. As soon as we got in the room and saw this, we asked for another room. They were booked up solid so we cancelled the reservation and left. We will never stay at this hotel again. Beware!!
- Cheryl (6/5): - Non smoking room was clearly previous smoking room smelled terrible towels rough and gingy breakfast hours too limited no alarm
- Karly (4/5): - We have stayed here multiple times and have always liked the stay and location. Never had any issues. There was barely any breakfast left, so many people and not enough food. Some of the individuals who were staying there were taking all of the food off of the trays for themselves. i know this isn’t personally a staff issue but. The coffee was out, no towels or anything for swimming, the food was cold, and a constant flow of running around children.
- Nancy (8/5): - Very noisy being on the first floor. Whoever was above me walked around the room so loudly.
The staff was very nice at check in and check out.
- Jim (10/5): Circus City Stay - Check in was effortless and quick. The front desk personnel were very helpful and friendly. The room was impeccable, not even a stray dust-bunny. The complimentary breakfast was hot, tasty, and plentiful. The manager runs a good operation.
- Barry (9/5): Very comfortable - Clean and very nice
- H2501SSbarrys (10/5): My very good experience. - My experience was very good. Would recommend this facility to everyone. Rooms were clean. Linens and towels were high quality. Staff was very friendly and always helpful.
- benjaminmR9824AV (8/5): Convenient, nice hotel - Overall, this is a decent property located in a convenient, safe location not too far from downtown Peru, IN as well as being right along US 31.
Generally speaking, this property is clean and sanitary, has friendly staff, and has good amenities such as a decent breakfast, a nice fitness room, and a clean pool. There is no real issue with noise at this property whether from US Highway or other guests, and one can get a good night's sleep here. All the things one would expect at a hotel one would find here be it a microwave, refrigerator, and a decent sized washroom. The property is kept up as a whole, and there is really nothing of real concern staying here.
For those attending the Peru, IN Circus this location is ideal since it is only ten minutes by driving at most from the venue on Broadway Street. It is pretty fun to see the circus theme all over this hotel celebrating Peru, IN's link to the circus industry.
This hotel is roughly five minutes by driving from the many resources along Peru's commercial strip be it the Kroger grocery store, fast food and restaurant options, and the local Ace Hardware. Also, the former Grissom Air Force Base's Museum is pretty close to this hotel as well making it a great option for those who may want to both see the Peru Amateur Circus and that museum on the same day.
In general, this hotel is a good halfway point between South Bend and Indianapolis, and it can be an option for those who may not want to drive the additional forty minutes further south to Kokomo, IN. While this hotel is a bit on the higher end of pricing it does provide an alternative to Kokomo and Logansport while being right along US 31 for those going north or south.
- Global04964346123 (10/5): Family loves it - When we come to Peru we stay at the Best Western sometimes it's twice a month sometimes it's every other month they always treat us right the rooms are clean it's older but at least it's clean
- Linda (10/5): Great Place to Stay - Hotel is on the older style but was clean and enjoyable. Breakfast was a let down as the pancake machine was broken and no orange juice was available. AND NO BACON! lol. The hotel just needs a little upgrading. But all in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to other travelers.
- ALICIA (8/5): - Staff was nice needs updates
- markrP8406XD (10/5): Kudos to the team at Best Western - I am a regular guest of Best Western (circus city inn) in Peru Indiana. I am normally in the hotel during the week and occasionally on weekends. It is always a great stay with a great breakfast and coffee available in the dining area.
Front Desk Manager Coty Black always ensures the rooms are top notch and my reservation is made and a room available. Thank you to her and the whole staff for the ease of staying near where I need to be for work !
- Hartman (8/5): Very good - Our room was quiet and comfortable. The staff was friendly they waited until we left to clean the room .the kitchen was clean and plentiful even closing late not rushing you out to close at 9:00 The pool room is hot
- Isaac (10/5): Great place to stay! - We have stayed at this hotel several times. The rooms are always great! Unfortunately, we had a sickness and had to leave 1 day early. Waiting to see if they will give us credit for the night that we had already paid for. Hot breakfast always good!
- Paul B (10/5): - Location was very convenient/ friendly staff/ clean room
- C1194YGjohnc (10/5): Womderful - Justin and Coty are the best. Nicole in breakfast is always helpful. And Brad knows how to run a housekeeping crew.
The pool is always clean, the rooms immaculate and I am treated wonderfully everytime I'm there
- James (2/5): Don’t stay here unless you have to! - Good location -visiting family Room was very dirty, shower and bathroom area was horrible. I have pictures which I intend to share. Two of the three lights in the bathroom, flickered intermittently, and air conditioning while functional pushed out cool humid air and the entire room smelled.
- dottieg682 (10/5): Nice place to stay - this hotel is always clean, with a nice breakfast selection. Justin the evening manager is always very welcoming and takes our well being seriously
- MaryAnn (10/5): - I liked the friendly staff and the complimentary breakfast. The pool was perfect for the excessive heat we had.
- Brenda (10/5): - Friendly desk staff, as well as housekeeping and kitchen staff. All were helpful answering questions, providing areas for our large family to visit and relax, coffee for my room when I didn’t need housekeeping and a great breakfast. And the kids all loved the indoor pool!
- Morleen (10/5): Exceptional -

- Susanna (10/5): Reliable, Clean and Quiet - I was in town to visit family and wanted to stay close by to maximize my time in town. The Best Western was perfectly located, quiet and clean. The continental breakfast was well stocked and tasty. I will be back!
- Kayla (7/5): Good - Location was great. It was within 6 minutes of everything we needed (church, restaurants, groceries, etc.) We enjoyed the indoor pool and breakfast each morning. The rooms REALLY need a deep cleaning. I do believe they were surface level clean. Examples: clean sheets, toilets, etc. However, when you took a moment to look at things closed it was not. There were booger looking swipes on the wall by the bed, dust and residue build up in different places. It needs good deep cleaning. It would have been more enjoyable.
- Dale (8/5): - The property was comfortable, nice and clean.
- Alisha (8/5): Very good - We stayed in the Ringling Suite and were blown away at how clean everything was. The breakfast was better than expected and the staff are friendly and professional. We extended our stay for the weekend and haven't regretted it. The balcony doorframe does need repairs.
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kim (10/5): - Staff was awesome, very quiet peaceful the pool was great would definitely stay again
- Alves (7/5): During the day it was pleasant. At night, due to noise, a bit disturbing. - Very good localizatrion Noise from cars and trucks on the highway.
- Bethani (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly, clean hotel - All the staff that we met at this hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean and everything worked correctly. The breakfast had several choices and the food was hot. There was also a hostess who was attentive and always cleaning which made it a pleasant place to have breakfast.
- Lucinda (10/5): - Convenient
- Jeremy (4/5): Staff was good. Beds honestly need to be replaced - The pool felt really nice. The beds were so uncomfortable I couldn’t sleep all weekend
