The property is fine, but a little run down. It did feel safe and was clean. The internet and TV leave something to be desired, but we were only there for the night so it wasn't too bad. Also, the breakfast is lacking, but it gets the job done if you are starving.

Pool is closed and it wasn't posted online. Literally the only reason we booked here. Also, I booked a room that was supposed to have a sofa in it and two Queen beds and we just got two queen beds

The hotel staff was very nice. The hotel though is very rundown and in need of some maintenance and improvements. The Mexican restaurant inside the hotel is absolutely amazing!

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 The rooms themselves were out of date, and needed some maintenance TLC.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.

Very minimal continental breakfast. Pool area is great, but TOO COLD for most adults to use!
Only one washer/dryer in this large place, but they dud work great.
Nice room.

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).

Mold growing on the floor into the fridge. Smelled terrible. Toilet seat discolored and chipping. We did get our room changed. Second room was a little better but there was mold in the shower. Pool was the best part but had to ask to have it opened both days.

The fridge was broken and making loud noise until unplugged, TV is just a smart TV and doesn’t offer anything unless you login to your own streaming devices.
