The hotel was ok for the price. It was pretty old and in rough shape. Our room smelt funky and the ceiling in the bathroom looked like it had some issues happening. The front desk staff member who checked us in announced our room out loud to anyone nearby who could hear and didn't tell us anything about breakfast, internet or anything after making us wait for quite a white for assistance. Otherwise, it was a good location, we felt safe and there was a restaurant on property. Probably would try another option if we find ourselves there again.

Pool and water park were decent. Bathroom was dirty (hair along the edges of the floor, etc); bathroom sink took an hour to drain. Closet door wouldn’t shut and coffee maker had old water in it and wouldn’t make coffee. Bed was ok, nothing fancy. Overall, a cheap place to stay, but definitely needs an overhaul.

I liked the lighting of the parking lot and parking. The restaurant was great and the pool area looked nice. It was quiet and the room were nice. The only thing I wished they had were outside locking doors to get into the hotel with your key card.

The kids had a lot of fun in the pool area! Staff was super nice and accommodating. Downside-stairwells smell like urine, during the day the smell of Mexican food (from the attached restaurant) wafts throughout the hotel and everything smells like food. Our bathroom had some mold that was painted over and starting to show through again, things seemed to be held together with caulking and quick fixes. Beds were rock hard, pull out sofa mattress was a bag of springs. If you go into it knowing it’s a struggling hotel, give some grace, if you’re expecting a 5 star stay, this isn’t it. All in all it was a cheap place to crash with very friendly staff who try very hard to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

The room was not very clean. There was hair in the bathroom on the floor. An old piece of beef jerky by the bed. Dirty walls and doors. Parking lot had a lot of trash on the ground. The side doors were not secured and locked. The stairwell number 2 smelled terrible of urine. I would not recommend staying there. Pool area looked very nice.

When we pulled back the sheets on one of the beds in our room, there was what looked like dried feces or dried blood on them. The spot in it's entirety was about 1' x 2', so this was not just a little spot. It was significant. In addition to that, the rooms, hallways, and stairwells were filthy. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned/vacuumed in months. We ended up leaving and staying elsewhere in Brookings.
