Brookings Inn Resort

clean easy access Soda machine by room 302 would not take cash

I took a chance and reserved a room at the Brookings Inn Resort, even though it looked a bit shabby from the outside. Still, the price was right for our budget. This older motel is on the north end of Brookings and is budget-priced. My friend and I were excited to be able to swim in the highly advertised indoor pool and soak in the hot tub. We packed out swimsuits and drove to Brookings for a little getaway. Upon checking in, we learned that neither the pool nor the hot tub were working and they didn't know when or if they would be in the future. This was very disappointing. However, we got to stay in their large 3 bed suite and we enjoyed the space. The lack of wi-fi in the room was disappointing, as was the lack of a microwave, hair dryer, or proper lighting for each bedroom. There was one table lamp in each room. In the separate bedroom, you could not turn on the lamp without turning on the very bright ceiling light. This was most unpleasant and inconvenient. The bonus for some travelers is there is a TV in each room. We didn't use the TVs. The website boasts the room's wi-fi, clock radio, and hair dryer, none of which actually came with our room. It was like the pool and hot tub. I discovered the "blackout drapes" did not actually black out the spotlights outside our room. I used pillows over my face to block the light as I am light sensitive when sleeping. The bathroom was recently upgraded and nicely done with brushed nickel fixtures. There was plenty of hot water and water pressure, lots of towels, and shampoo, etc. The room was very clean and well-maintained. The bed was quite firm and had nice bedding. The heater worked well. The door locked. It was quite at night. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and kind. These were the pluses. Know that this is a bare-bones motel with no resort amenities. It is priced accordingly. If my friend and I had known what to expect, we would have packed differently and would have not been so disappointed in the lack of advertised amenities.

It was a nice quiet stay with a brisk pool had a good night in a nice renovated Hotel room the staff was welcoming and made for a good weekend

The hot tub was not available and there was no breakfast as advertised. I did appreciate that we were allowed to check in early at 1230 and didn't have to wait till 3.

I was very pleased!

Large clean room. Very friendly staff.

We stay here every time we come to Brookings. The recent upgrades are excellent! Our room is clean, spacious, and comfortable. My family throughly enjoys the indoor pool surrounded by the glass atrium. Marianne checked us in for our stay, she knew my name when I came in, and was incredibly sweet and very pleasant. We also enjoy how close we are to the Harris Beach. Overall great place to stay.

Peaceful stay

5th time here and we really like it here
