Black mold behind the toilet
Robert C.

I'm not gonna drop a 1 star here. I felt like the front desk staff did their best to accommodate us on our stay, the price was good but it's fairly obvious the rest of the staff needs more direction. The owner needs to see what they have, and do what they can to bring this place up to a 5 star hotel. It could honestly be the best hotel in Brookings with some work. So we got a family room. This is basically 2 rooms with 3 beds. A room with a larger king sized bed for mom and dad, and the main room/entrance with 2 queen sized beds for the kids. The beds themselves were not bad. At home I sleep on a Serta Memory Foam mattress with a topper, a $4000 mattress. I'm not expecting a cheap motel to offer that. Our check in time was 3pm, but room service did not have us ready until 4ish? Due to the inconvenience the front desk clerk gave us a discount. Generally speaking though, the hotel is in disrepair. There's a conference center that's closed down. The hot tub is boarded up. The pool is not heated. There's also a on-site restaurant that is also closed. As said, I see this all as potential. Brookings gets a lot of wind and solar, they could heat this pool for free. The restaurant could be serving food and offering room service. The conference center could have a gym. Here is where I get confused though. Our room was cheap. I won't state the price, but let's say it was appropriately priced given the conditions. The toilet in the room was tiny, and an ADA compliant height. As pictured, there was black mold behind the toilet. There was threshhold missing between the carpet (which was really old) and the tiling by the sink, just bare metal sticking up. The baseboard tiling in the shower was janky, and the tub itself had brown stains on it. At first I thought it was sand that wasn't rinsed. Finally the soap tray was just drilled on using deck screws (this will eventually cause water to seep in the walls and cause mold there, if it hasn't already) We couldn't close the door to the grownups room. The frame was bent, almost as if someone had kicked the door in at some point. Finally, the rooms have no microwaves. Mini fridges, but no microwaves. Exterior up to our room there was a few things that seemed to suffer the same lack of maintenance. There was no-slip carpet installed all over, and at the bottom of the stairs was what looked like a giant hole in the carpet. One of the hand railings was missing on the stairwell. On another stairwell, instead of using grip-tape they use roofing shingles. Out back I could see that the downspouts for the rain gutters were missing. There was also a homeless man that spent the night in the parking lot, security there is pretty laxed. It pains me to give reviews this low, as the price was decent, but mostly appropriate for what was delivered. As said, some paint, tearing up that nasty carpet, stair hand rails, various fixes here and there and this place *could* charge a lot more. As it is though, it can almost be considered a health code violation.

Because I want it to be available for just me. But I'm not a selfish person (for the most part). And I must share this life haven with those who seek a place, view and amenities that make the world as you know it - stop. We stayed in the captains quarters. And I can't imagine ever going "back". We had "happened" upon this while making a long weekend following a conference in Ashland. Hoping this glowing and deserving view earns us some consideration when the place is booked solid In the future and we make a habit of coming back again. You're welcome:)

We also enjoyed the comfy adjustable bed with massage function, faux fireplace heater, refrigerator, and smart TV for when we wanted to stay in. John and Nancy were more than happy advise us on restaurants and local attractions though I had done exhaustive research on them already so we were good to go. We couldn't have asked for better hosts! Due to Covid we couldn't gather for breakfast but they were happy to leave fresh coffee, scones (sooooooo good!), and prepared eggs from their chickens. Seriously those scones were to die for! We had a wonderful time getting away to Mermaid's Muse and we can't wait to visit again!

Each day while we were away the room was freshened up. Coffee, instant ceral were provided in the room as well as cream for the coffee. Dishes and glassware were available to use. The room was well supplied with the things we needed. The steps and railings could use a bit of updating for safety and the stairs leading towards the beach area were in much need of repair, to the point that it was not a good idea to venture too far down that path as the lower steps dropped down further than the rest. The handrail at the very bottom was frail and really should not be allowed public access without being made much sturdier. When parking, it required you to back all the way out to the roadway. No viable place to turn around once you drove all the way in. Would we stay here again? Yes we would. I felt it was a good value for the price paid. You could literally hear and see the ocean right from the front room. It is a place that provides a lot of peace and quiet. Probably not the best for a young and noisy partying crowd. Barbara, thank you for your hospitality during our visit.

We had our own private room with an amazing view of rhe Pacific. Beach combing was fun a stray dog joined us and it was an amazing day.

At one point one of their guests was banging on my door yelling at me to let him in. Another guest left their door open and every time I would leave the room her dog would start barking and chasing me. The inside of the room was fine. There was dirt inside the door, no peephole cover, no deadbolt, and did not shut all of the way. The AC unit plug is frayed and looks concerning. There was rust colored splotched all along the bottom of the wall, the window was paper thin. Some interesting stains on the throw pillows, stick substance on the table and the floor was sticky. The guests before me were kind enough to leave some ice cream in the freezer. All of the towels and bedding were damp and musty. The mattress and pillow were surprisingly very comfortable, but overall, I felt very unsafe during my stay.
