Room was fairly clean. Upholstery had stains and just looked dirty. Staff very friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast provided as well. There is a large water "park" inside. We did not use, but sure looked like a family fun time to have.

This property was nice in a decent area, and the swimming pool was AMAZING for an indoor pool at a hotel! The rooms themselves were out of date, and needed some maintenance TLC. They seemed clean, but dingy. Nice that it had a restaurant onsite. The breakfast room was lacking. We had to ditch for Starbucks with a hot sandwich.

This property is way overdue for a remodel. Rooms and common areas are filthy. Fridge was moldy and made a clicking noise all night. I asked to have the fridge looked at. Ended up unplugging it on night two so I could sleep. Lazy river was FREEZING, to the point no one could use it. None of the exterior doors required key entry and were never locked. Mouse traps in the stairwells. Gym has been turned into a salon and moved to room 106. You have to ask the front desk for a key to get into the “gym.”The list goes on. Don’t let the updated exterior fool you. I would NOT recommend this property.

Musty, falling apart hotel. Stinks of mold in the common areas and the room. The gym was a joke so I found a local park around the corner for a long walk, thank goodness. Not many options in Brookings so I had to stay for my two day trip.

I had the handicap room. The room was roomy and clean. The price was good. Staff were friendly. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. The bathroom had a bad smell in it so I decided not to shower. The breakfast was good, a continental breakfast (cereal, apples, donuts, toast, etc., no eggs and bacon).
