Don't be like me. Stay at Brookestone
There are three "hotels" in Emmetsburg. One smells like casino cigarettes, one just smells, and the other is Brookestone. Now I know.
Check-in was quick and easy, although the room was grossly overpriced for what it was - a 2 Story Super8 motel in a town of 3600 people 30 minutes drive from anything useful and a rate of $130 for the night. When I entered my room, one light switch worked, the other did not. Presumably it was tied to the outlet the floor lamp was plugged into. However, that lamp was not switched on. I immediately noticed a stale musty smell upon entry. It had been a long day and I needed a shower so I just accepted my fate. The bathroom was as plain as can be with a basic shower and toilet. The shower curtain rod looked like it had been ripped from the wall during a fall and patched and plastered by a highschool student. The toilet had mineral stains indicating lack of regular cleaning. The water pressure was the best feature of the room. The bed was hard and not overly comfortable and the pillows were equally generic. Bring your own pillow if possible. The room was fairly quiet, which was a welcome relief. As for the continental breakfast, I did not partake as I had early morning errands to run. I decided to try my luck with the drive through coffee shop across the street. I would recommend against it. TL;DR: There are 3 options in Emmetsburg, none great for the going rate when compared to the amenities this town offers. You're better off staying in Spencer
