This is a nice hotel right off of Interstate 29. The university, grocery stores, and downtown are…read morewithin an easy drive. Check-in was pleasant and fast. The two elevators were in working order and moved at a reasonable speed between the four floors. We had a king suite on the second floor. We entered into a kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. We only used the fridge; the tiny freezer barely fit our cooler ice packs. The living room and bedroom are spacious, with the TV centered between them. The bathroom counter area was nice, but the toilet and bath/shower room was cramped. The tub had wall units with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. Everything worked as it should. No issues with noise from the hallway, other rooms, or the highway. Breakfast was included with the room. Sunday morning, it was served from 6-10am and offered standard continental breakfast fare. There was a lot of seating. Our checkout soon after was quick. I would be fine with staying here if we came through Brookings in the future.

The room met my expectations of the Hampton Inn brand. It was clean. It had the usual features with two queen beds, a work desk, coffee service and wifi. While I did not hear any noise from the neighboring rooms, the hallway is a different matter. You will absolutely hear everyone walking past in the hallway and they will slam their doors. The noise seemed to stop promptly at 9:30am and resumed at 5:45 am. The property is next to the highway and at 6:00am, the engine brakes outside started making noise. Not a great night's sleep. The breakfast was the usual Hampton standards and the coffee was good. If the property has a guest laundry, I wasn't able to find it. I would likely select another property if I was planning to return to Brookings. [Review 17853 overall - 59 in South Dakota - 1374 of 2022.]

I showed up at 12:30 in the morning, but they were ready and able to get me into a room in a flash. The room and the entire building was bright, inviting and clean. The bed was comfortable, while everything in the room was modern and new. Finding this motel in a relatively small city along I-29 was a pleasant surprise. The current/old reviews on Yelp don't properly capture the quality of this Super 8 as of 2018.

The tub in the bathroom needed to be resealed and there was mold in the corners. Overall, the room served its purpose. I do feel the need to mention the breakfast situation. Numerous times I watched the employee that was overseeing the breakfast area walk past dirty tables and trash cans that were overflowing. When I was cleaning up after myself I had to balance my trash on top of the trash can and pray it wasn't going to fall off because of how full it was. The breakfast was good though, no complaints there.

These are the amenities I'm aware of. I'm sure there are more. This place clearly was very thoughtful as to what a traveler would want. Highly recommend.

I've been here a few times and I remember the days when there was a beautiful rock floor underneath the carpet that is now in the corridor between the banquet rooms and the coffee shop. Rip that carpet up and show off that beautiful floor!!! Rooms are a nice size especially the suites! Nothing too flashy when it comes to amenities, but it works well. Staff is polite and "mid-westy". One of the first "original" motels in Brookings along with the "Brookings Inn" which used to be a Holiday Inn. The Staurolite was once a Best Western as well. Lots of history in that little motel.

I know every hotel has them but most hotels can seclude them to 1 room and have them treated. 4 rooms is an infestation. That has gone untreated.

There were lots of them on her mattress. Yikes. The fact that I did not get a refund on my last day is a bit shady. I stay in hotels all the time for work and frequently check out early with no reason just I can go home earlier than expected. Yes I checked out at 7am. Well before check out time just a day early.

Pluses: door to parking lot and door to hallway. Sink in another room, nice when someone is in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Housekeeping replenished towels, made beds and took out garbage. Location is close to Lowes, and Walmart. Negatives: 1 blanket and had to increase the thermostat to sleep. Breakfast was sparce, powdered eggs and sausage both days, cereal and packaged muffins, packaged apple juice and milk. Ripped carpet, rust on ceiling, paint coming off door by bathroom, conditioner dispenser did not squeeze conditioner in tub. Rust on lampshade, frost in fridge, froze my Dr Pepper zero!
