Brookside Lodge was the perfect option for us during our trip. The rooms were spacious for us to get our backpacking gear together and the view of the river with the in room fireplace set the perfect tone for our trip. We enjoyed the near by pizza place and found it quite but well situated just outside the busy area. The staff were all incredibly friendly. We highly recommend choosing Brookside Lodge as it’s the right price for the right place!

Did not appear the toilet had been cleaned upon check in. Didn’t receive any room service the first day. I had to call to get fresh towels for the bathroom. Found a pair of socks under the bed. The beds were never made (nor sheets changed) the entire stay, nor was the bathroom cleaned.

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.
