What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brookings, travelers frequently praise the friendly staff and generally clean, comfortable rooms, but many were disappointed to find the pool and hot tub closed for renovations or maintenance without prior notice.

Breakfast feedback ranges from good to underwhelming, with limited variety mentioned by some. Location is convenient off the interstate and walkable to dining, though parking can feel cramped and some considered the price high for the amenities available. Overall, it suits straightforward stays; confirm current amenities before booking.

The pool is closed. This is the second time I’ve stayed here in 6 months and it’s been closed both times. No warning prior to booking. They are remodeling and there is stuff sitting all over outside and the inside is messy.

Our family booked this location based on the pool amd water slide. We were not informed at check-in the pool was closed for renovations. We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted to enjoy the pool between games. Had we been told prior to checking in we would have looked for another cheaper option.

We scheduled our stay as this hotel for the pool for our grandkids. When we got there, there was a sign saying the pool was closed for repairs. We were very disappointed. The lady at the front desk was very nice and offered to give us a refund and even called around and found us a different hotel. Since we booked through hotels.com she told us to call them to get our refund. Long story short, Garner refused to give the refund..

Pool and part of the building was being renovated. Spent a lot of money for a place that didn't even have a working pool. Room was clean but walls were scuffed up and bathroom was very dingy and stained. I know they were renovating but if you book through here you wouldn't know that and no one told us when we called either.

Name changed to Garner IHG so that was a bit confusing. Rooms were nice, bed was comfy as was the pillows. Breakfast was good. Coffee was not good. TV screen was fuzzy in our room. A lot of TV channels to select from. We were with other people who said their TV was fuzzy too. All in all, we would stay again. It was super quiet- we loved that.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was good. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is the fact the pool slide was not open during the week (only open on weekends) and we were there during the week. It was the main reason we choose this hotel. The hot tub was also closed. We had a whole day to fill and planned on spending most of that time enjoying the hottub, pool and the slide, but we didn't use it at all the second day, only spent a couple of hours the first night in the pool and hottub.

We had to sit in the lobby for an hour and a half before our room was ready. Check in is at 3, we got to our room at 4:30. Hot tub was out of service, Pool slide was closed, and that was the main reason we choae that hotel over the others. Would not stay again.
