Essentia Health-Holy Trinity Hospital Tours

The property is fine, but a little run down. It did feel safe and was clean. The internet and TV leave something to be desired, but we were only there for the night so it wasn't too bad. Also, the breakfast is lacking, but it gets the job done if you are starving.

We usually stay at this hotel when in Brookings to visit our college kid. It is conveniently located off the interstate and near the university. It's clean and staff is friendly. I'm usually willing to pay a little more to stay here vs other nearby hotels. Unfortunately, this stay might change that. First, the pillows were horrible - not even real bed pillows, but instead were lumpy square pillows, they made me think of the type of pillows you might put on a couch. The exercise room equipment was minimal (1 elliptical and 1 treadmill machine, plus free weights and a bench). The elliptical made an annoying screech when in use and the treadmill was a small and didn't feel terribly sturdy. More like what you would find in a small home gym than a commercial facility. But the real kicker is that it was 80 degrees in there! There was no way to turn the thermostat down and no fans in the room. (For context, it was only about 75 outside). Finally, the eggs at breakfast were so watery you actually had to drain them before putting them on your plate. Taste-wise, they were okay (not good, not bad), but they were quite unappetizing in the pan! Overall, I would stay here again, but it will no longer be my automatic go-to.

A very comfortable hotel specially with South Dakota State University 5 minutes driving distance away. Great location and great staff!
