The room was clean. The two gentlemen at the front desk at check-in were less than helpful. They did not want to get up and do their job. Just sit and say i don't know. The water wash cold two days in a row. We have stayed 3 times now. It's getting worse ever time. We will find another place to stay.

Breakfast was good as was the service, my only suggestion is that I wish it had started at 7 instead of 8 so we could have started our adventures earlier. Otherwise I really enjoyed my stay, in fact this is the 2nd time I have staded at Brookside.

Loved the balcony overlooking the stream, the sound of it was soooo relaxing. A bear came around as well during our stay. The staff was excellent and the room was satisfactory. Yes, the rooms are older, but you feel like you are in a cabin which was very cool. The warm breakfast buffet was great too.

Hotel staff was friendly and courteous. Room appeared old and dingy, not what we expected based on photos. Bathroom had a very strong mildew smell and shower curtain was severely mildewed. Housekeeping did clean bathroom and change out shower certain upon request. Overall the property is run down and is in need of some updating.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also got to check in a little early. The only thing, they didn't have any fire wood for the wood burning fireplace in the rooms, but was not hard to find at a store close by. Over all nice stay.

Nice accommodations! Friendly and helpful staff too! The mountain views and the private balcony with a beautiful creek 😍 with a lighted walking area to the creek for taking pics 📸 too! The covered bridge that goes across the creek too. A nice fire pit area and a grill area too. Just a great relaxing place to stay with all of these accommodations and perks 😎 to enjoy 😉 and see

Great location. Next to creek was cool. Loved all the hooks in room. Plenty of room to add another table for luggage and such. Bathroom. NO grab bars and a high tub. An accident waiting to happen. My husband had to help me in and out. No hooks in bathroom to hang clothes or towels. Vanity small so could use another table. Nice gift bag on arrival. I liked the place but bathroom needs help.

The front desk staff were very friendly and gave lots of tips about the area. The room was spacious, and the bed comfortable. The view from the balcony was beautiful, but we couldn't stay out because someone nearby was always smoking. We did not try the breakfast as we planned to go out for pancakes. The decor needs an update, but it was an ok value.

The breakfast wasn’t very good and had limited variety. The room definitely needs an upgrade. The carpeting was bunched up in places and a tripping hazard. The wifi was terrible. We also thought it was closer to downtown.
