Staff was excellent. They had recently remodeled the room we stayed in. Everything worked well in the room. They weren’t completely finished with decorating the room but we were not there for decor. The only complaint was the pillows were bad. We would use this property again.

We got one of the balcony rooms where the balcony is right over the stream out back. Not sure how many rooms have this, but it's a really nice place to sit.

Brookside Front Desk Staff was very accommodating. We arrived earlier than check-in time and a short time later we got a call that our room was ready. The natural setting on the brookside balcony was very relaxing. The fireplace provided additional ambiance and comfort. We would definitely stay at Brookside again.

Room and linens smelled musty probably because of old carpeting and bedding. Did not appear to have cleaning/disinfecting protocols in place. AC unit was very noisy. Way overpriced for accommodations and had to pay extra for breakfast. Still had 1970’s cabin decor.
