This motel is a great option for a stay in Brookings. We loved the spacious suite which was sparkling clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful. One of the women gave us great restaurant recommendations - spot on! We were also pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was, even on a very busy night when the motel was fully booked. The locally-made bar of soap was a nice touch and it smelled wonderful.
We didn't use the kitchenette but it was well-stocked with plates, utensils, glasses, etc. The full-sized fridge was a nice plus. Also, every suite has free Netflix.
The one downside is that the motel doesn't have any water views (despite the name). Also, I'd booked the motel months in advance and only realized when we arrived that the rates had been reduced, up to 20% for one of our nights. I felt stupid for paying more. So it's a good idea to keep checking them and rebook if you find a better rate.
