This motel is older, but it is well taken care of. It served our basic needs. As far as budget friendly, you pay about half of what you might pay at like bigger chains such as best western. Theres no frills, but the shower was hot and consistant , the bed was comfortable, it had covered parking, and right in front of your room. The heating was adequate, and the host/ owner was very nice and shared her knowledge of the town and beaches and local restaurants. You could tell she takes pride in ownership. I would definitely stay again if in the brookings area. And thankyou for keeping the prices low, so us budget friendly travelers can still aford to go and enjoy our beautiful trip.
