“I could not find anything wrong.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

I loved this hotel. The look, the feel, everything. It was simply an 'Express' and I generally associate those as not having the detail of a full scale Holiday Inn. The lobby was spacious with comfortable seating, the breakfast area was large. (The food was mediocre - same as every other Holiday Inn Express menu, but the cinnamon rolls were tasty). The room was really beautiful. The bed very comfortable. The sheets and pillows were perfect. I slept very well......which doesn't always happen when traveling alone. The bathroom was very clean and bright. I did not use the pool, so do not have an opinion on it. I would definitely stay here again.

“Decent value decent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

My family and I were on a trip from Alberta Canada and the roads in South Dakota were horrible to say the least. The hotel staff at this location was wonderful and very accommodating. We upgrading our standard and had a king size bed and a pull out small couch. The pool was decent and I was thrilled to see not one but two life guards on duty! The beds were comfortable and the room quite spacious. The only downfall was the eggs in the morning.... The biscuits and gravy were okay.... but the eggs were lacking in freshness. All in all, we would have stayed here even without the breakfast simply for the amazing customer service.

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012 via mobile

We have stayed here several times over the past two years. Always pleasant staff. Hotel is very clean. Beds are comfortable and rooms are quiet. Wonderful breakfast. Can't beat the South Dakota friendliness and work ethic.

“Great beds and breakfast!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Loved the nights rest in their cozy beds. Woke to fabulous complimentary breakfast!!! Mmmmmmm........ Down fall is if you are traveling with kids the water slide is only open on weekends and the swimming pool is less than four feet deep, so you can't swim laps.

“Comfortable Overnight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

For a simple overnight while passing through Brookings, this worked out great! We were impressed with the young new manager - Erin. We learned that she is a recent hospitality grad from SDSU and has worked at different hotels for the past few years. This is her first job as manager and with her can-do attitude, we think it reflects with all the staff. The room was clean & comfortable and the breakfast satisfying. We were delighted with our stay at this friendly location!
