First let me share the good. The pool was awesome, the lazy river and activity area are cold but the main pool was warm. The breakfast was also not bad. Now for the bad, I noticed a lot of really gross stuff on our hotel room walls, the walls in the bathroom were peeling, our tv would glitch when we tried to watch anything, the food from La Cantina made us sick and was obviously warmed up in a microwave. We loved our stay 2 years ago but this time was a major disappointment.

Great stay for child entertainment!

I loved the room, besides the bathroom. The bathroom seemed permanently dirty. I loved how spacious the room was and the bed/pillows were amazing. It also smelled a bit of weed down our hallway not that that was in your control.

The outside looked nice and a decent location The parking lot was dark, the hallways and stairs were dark. The hallways smelled and the main entrance smelled like old grease. The breakfast was horrible. The rooms were not clean the bed blankets were stained and had holes in them. The mattress had stains. The bathroom had mold. It did have hot water. It didn’t have internet. The outlets were so old the charger plug wouldn’t stay plugged in. Some outlets didn’t work. You could feel the springs in the mattress.

SDSU Stay

The room was old but comfortable. Water park was nice for the grandson. Staff were all friendly. I stayed on the first floor by the pool area. Might choose a upper floor next time as the pool is noisy if you wanted to sleep. Staff were good about closing the pool area on schedule which helped.

In desperate need of updates! 1/2 the public bathrooms were out of order, no ice machines available, “fitness facility” was moved to a guest room…the “continental breakfast” was choice of 4 sugar filled cereals, prepackaged muffins, like warm coffee….

Poor cleaning of the bathroom, breathe right strip found in tub. Overall seemed run down and unkept/out dated. TV was useless, bed sat on 2x4 frame on the ground. Very low toilet and counter in bathroom. Outside area was filthy and not cleaned. Staff was not professionally presentable. Overall building had a very off putting smell to it.

Property was old, outdated smelly. I can only say the bed was clean but old lumpy mattress. Overall quality conditions were horrible. Remote don’t work to the TV. Staff was dressed in regular clothes that appeared dirty with holes. They were lazy sitting in chairs at the desk and breakfast was not attended nor replenished. We won’t pay a dime for this property in the future and willing to pay more $ somewhere else.

Our stay was very nice. Our kids enjoyed the water park. It was perfect for our 5 and 6 year old. It may not be enough to satisfy a teenager or older kid, but for the cheap price, you can't beat it. Facilities are definitely older, but the cost of the room was the cheapest I have seen in awhile. The doorknob fell off of our bathroom door during our visit, but it was a matter of the screws not staying in place. Didn't bother us. Continental breakfast was fairly basic, but they had the waffle maker which is generally our go to choice. Overall, it will definitely be our hotel of choice if we return to Brookings.
