The staff was very helpful the rooms could have been a little cleaner and the water parks and pool was good for my kids. Could have had a little more light in the hallway rooms and pool area
In town for a hockey tournament. Conveniently located near the rink. Breakfast was nothing special, but there is a Mexican restaurant attached that is open later. Room was clean.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was great. Our neighbors were smoking weed the day we left so unfortunately everything stunk. The breakfast was an added plus. Not much, but just enough. The pool was questionable but it’ll be closed for a while for maintenance. This place has a lot of potential.

Staff was wonderful. The rooms were old smelly and we didn’t stay there, but they were very accommodating and gave us our money back.

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Water park was fun, unfortunate that the hot tub was out of order, but that happens.
This spot was everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. Convenient location, solid amenities, and clean enough.

Staff was excellent! Tv in room didn’t show a picture. It was scrambled. Fixtures in bathroom all rusty. Sink in bathroom cracked. Cold draft from window.
Brookings Inn is a great value. The on-site Mexican restaurant is excellent. The breakfast is fine and a step above normal continental fare. The indoor pool is fun. Props to a local small business that is very friendly and a pleasure to stay.
Breakfast wasnt up tonpar. Everything was out cereal was stale and they had bread/bagel in zip lock bags.
Water pressure was very low and water was either boiling hot or freezeing.
Staff was very friendly though!
