We liked the price, but we all agreed we would have preferred to have paid more and had a more comfortable stay. This hotel was relatively clean and safe and that's about all it had going for it. 1) There was NO wireless internet in our room which we assumed based on the advertised wording of "free high speed internet" there would be. We could not even access internet on our 3G phones in our room which I swear have worked 15miles into a barren wasteland prior to this but not in this hotel room in a fairly urban area. This suggests the room would probably keep you safe from nuclear fallout so perhaps this is a positive. 2) The hotel was hosting a humungous and extremely rude family of a wedding party. It was outrageous the behavior of this group of people. There was an entire bottle of shampoo dumped into the hot tub, kids who looked to be under 15 years old were unsupervised in the pool area and making out in front of my young kids until I was forced to BRIBE my kids to leave the pool because I was totally skeeved out. 3) I nearly twisted my ankle (not an exaggeration) on the treadmill because it has a refrigerator magnet for a replacement safety STOP mechanism. In the middle of a 6MPH run the treadmill abruptly stopped while I was running and I barely managed not to fall on my butt, I hurt my foot and my shoulder in the process. Five or six disgustingly rude wedding guests were also in the 10X12 "facility" and allowed their very young children to use the place as a playground. I don't blame the staff for the rude guests, but SOME kind of supervision and monitoring of this unruly crowd should have occurred. Finally, when I requested more towels in the pool area because there were NO towels anywhere I was given a humungous stack of towels and asked to take them to the pool for the front desk gal (actually this was just kind of funny, lol, really she gave me like 20 towels she had just folded, I was happy to save her a trip, but I also had a cup of coffee in my hand and I struggled to balance my coffee and the humungous stack of towels. This was a crazy place to stay, oddly enough we stayed here while deciding if we should make a huge move to the area. I have to believe the entire stay was just a random fluke and doesn't reflect on the rest of the community. The stay would've just been generic and "utilitarian" had there not been the added bonus of the gross wedding party guests so I guess overall if you REALLY need a cheap, clean and safe place to stay this is fine but if you want something a bit nicer and more comfortable look elsewhere. Note, I grew up extremely poor with a huge family so my lifestyle is pretty basic and my needs and expectations aren't high and mighty and *I* found this place barely acceptable.

This is an older hotel and while they have updated some things, some things still need replacing and cleaning. The carpet in our room had 2 good sized stains and the tub looked like it needed a good scrubbing. The air conditioner did not work very well, but we managed. The bed was just okay and it would have been nice to have another set of towels. The hallway smelled like smoke and is dark. If you are looking for a low cost hotel for a night and aren't too picky, then this may work for you. There is a free continental breakfast, but we didn't try it.

Let me tell you a little story about a little bug. This bug is so little it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. It is nocturnal and parasitic. This bug is very well know and also very feared. I am talking about bed bugs. I know alot about bed bugs now that I have stayed at the Days Inn at Brookings. My wife and I stayed here on our 10th wedding anniversary. It was a short day trip to celebrate. The trip ended up costing over a $1000 and much anguish. We contracted bed bugs from this hotel. It turned our life upside down for 3 months. They knew they had bed bugs but didn't seem to care. If that isn't enough to keep you away the following was also true. The continental breakfast was sub par, pot smoke from the stoner next door wafted through our bathroom vent, and the service wasn't very helpful.

We had a wedding reception at this hotel and decided to stay here too. We were greeted by a friendly staff and the facility for the wedding reception was nice enough; however, the room was another story. Granted, we just needed a place to stay the night but the smell of chlorine was overpowering to say the least. The hallways and rooms have been tended to with fresh coats of paint and the bedding and furniture is in pretty rough shape showing the wear and tear and age of the hotel. The reception area would fool you when it comes to being updated as it recently received a facelift; not it's time for the rooms to receive the same. Breakfast is free........but spring for Perkins if you want a good breakfast.
