I've stayed her a couple of times over the last 6 years and like it enough to continue to stay here. It's clean, with very comfortable bedding, safe, and has a helpful, friendly staff. Thank you.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Quality Inn. The bed was very comfortable and the room had all the amenities we expect. Breakfast was also very good. The Inn does not have an elevator, which would be difficult for anyone booked on the second floor who didn't handle stairs well.

Sleeping in urine all weekend

Bed smelled like urine. We had to strip the bed and remove the mattress cover as it was the culprit of the urine smell. We had to just sleep on the top sheet for the weekend. It was like it hadn’t even been washed. Bathroom floor was cracked and had a hole and bulbs were burned out in the bathroom.

I Got What I Paid For

I got what I paid for. The good: convenient location, friendly front desk, breakfast looked good, cheap, comfortable bed, bathroom was clean. The not so good: VERY outdated, no elevator so not super accessible, no cover on an outlet near my bed, carpet felt a little icky, room did not smell good. Someone definitely smoked in there and it's been covered with spray. I opened the window for a bit so that helped. I wanted affordable and it was, but I was glad it was just one night.

I was initially hesitant to book a room here when looking at options in Brookings for an overnight stay for my daughters new student orientation the following day at SDSU because the photos on Expedia show an old outdated hotel. Expedia needs to update their pictures. If you want to see the current state of the hotel google the hotel. If you want a boujee hotel go stay at the Hampton, but if you are looking for simple, clean, comfortable, modern and affordable, this is your place. They have updated all of the rooms, I wish I had taken pictures to add to this review, but they are all modern now. Lots of lighting options and outlets, usb and usb-c ports, and most importantly the most comfortable beds I’ve ever experienced in a hotel, no joke. Not sure about the other reviews that say lights under the bed that go off in the middle of the night when you go to the bathroom, I definitely went to the bathroom at 3am and no lights went off. Blackout blinds, mini fridge, microwave, single serving coffee pot all provided in the room. I had no issues with noise or any disturbances from other guests. Breakfast is very simple. Toast, fruit, yogurt, cereal, premade cheese omelets, sausage links and make your own waffles. Coffee, tea and juices are also available. For the coffee they provide half and half, French vanilla creamer and sugars. The staff members were all very polite! This will absolutely be my hotel when I go to Brookings to visit my daughter.
