Horrifying hotel in Brookings.
The entire hotel was overall very dirty. Our room was so dirty we thankfully had our own blankets because our comforters were stained. The bathroom was so dirty I went to Walmart and purchased my own cleaning spray with bleach and everything came clean easily so it was clear that it was just poor cleaning by the staff. The toilet barely flushed. The hot handle in the shower was stripped and barely worked and if it did it was either scolding hot or ice cold. Our TV and WIFI was out for 12 hours of our stay. The water park was poorly up kept and the floors were disgusting. There was dirt and dust every inch that we looked of this hotel. The floors in the room and the hallways were grossly stained and the hallways were freezing! This was a horrifying stay.

Pretty much a zero out of 5. There was mold in the shower. Housekeeping clearly did not even bother vacuuming after the previous person and by that time I wasn’t willing to even think about sleeping in the bed. The front desk was kind enough to not charge us as we had barely been checked in for 5 minutes. It’s too bad because we came up to enjoy the water park part but thought if the hotel itself was that unclean we weren’t trusting the chemicals in the pool either. Left and wont recommend.

Gross
We stayed in an upstairs room. Not sure if it's a room that's just not used often but its was gross. 1st thing was the comfort on our bed. It was brown and there was a big spot on our comforter that was definitely darker like something was spilled on it. We removed it immediately because we knew we would definitely not be using it only to find with spots that had definitely been wet as some point. Not sure if that was bodily fluids or something else. Something was splattered all over the bathroom door on the outside. The toilet paper holder was filthy as well as all the ledges on the bathroom cabinets. The tank lid of the toilet had drips of black something on it. Gross.

Swimming is fun, but rooms are not very clean and pretty run down place. If they put some time and effort in to maintaining it could be a great hotel.

Worse than expected
One of the worst hotels I’ve ever been in. The dirty dark hallways was the first sign that we should be concerned. Then the room had some sort of splatter stains on the bathroom walls, the toilet seat was worn out, and the pillows were so yellow stained I couldn’t even use them without being grossed out. I sat on the bed and it fell off the frame. We didn’t expect much with the low cost but this was worse than expected.
