Our room had mold in the corners by thw ceiling, the toilet rocked when you would sit down and stand up. When taking a shower the water came out of rhe faucet more then the shower head. The walls were dirty and the hallways smelled like Marijuana. The breakfast room was dirty and they were out of waffle mix and coffee and it took 30 mins to fill it after we asked for a refill. The lazy river was ice cold
Black mold in room

Room was fairly clean. Upholstery had stains and just looked dirty. Staff very friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast provided as well. There is a large water "park" inside. We did not use, but sure looked like a family fun time to have.

When we checked into our hotel room it smelled like cigarettes. Was dark and dirty and terribly outdated. I took our 2yr old to the 'waterpark' where we went down the slide and I ended up with a tore up leg/knee from the kids slide. I'm thankful I didn't let her go down it by herself because we probably would've ended up in the ER. We cancelled our rooms for the next night but still had to pay for that current night. Was an expensive half hour visit.

Brookings Inn is a great value. The on-site Mexican restaurant is excellent. The breakfast is fine and a step above normal continental fare. The indoor pool is fun. Props to a local small business that is very friendly and a pleasure to stay.

As of August of 2025, this property is NOT recommended. The pool water was ice-cold, the hot tub lukewarm. The entire property was dirty and run-down. Our bathroom was clean enough, and the sheets were clean. The staff were friendly and were doing their best. But this is a colossal property that has been neglected for years. It's under new ownership, but it's going to take years to reach the standards you'd expect from a hotel.
This is just one representation of a surface in the hotel that looks as if it hasn't been cleaned in weeks.
Besides this there was clear tape keeping wallpaper together all around the hotel.
All of the corners of the room looked like this.
This is what the entirety of our room borders looked like.
