Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Stayed here many times over 10 years with family. Great location for vacation to satisfy everyone's interests. (could use update in mattresses), otherwise good place to stay.
For the price of these accommodations, it exceeded my expectations. I just go to hike so I do not require much. This had 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, a back patio near the brook, a full kitchen and it was less expensive than when I rented out a room in Keene Valley. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice remodeled room unfortunately it needs more than 2 pillows and air conditioner didn’t work

Needs some painting, exterior clean up, tree trimming etc. to make it more appealing. I know it takes time and a big investment and appreciate the efforts so far.

Old motel that needs many updates but provides a good alternative for families that require space, beds and a full kitchen. Easy access from 9N.

Fair Stay
It is fair. You pay what you get. The room is clean and kitchen is really helpful to make something to eat easily. Full size stove and fridge are great. There is no AC here. It is not comfortable in a hot humid night.

This is a very hard review to write because our rooms (2) were VERY nice having been newly renovated. But the overall property is just beginning to be renovated and many of the rooms are not yet ready for visitors. We saw and visited one couple who were given a very old and unclean room initially but were given a full refund and cancellation upon request. The proprietors are very accommodating but communicate only through an intercom or by texting. We did not meet any staff. But all that said, the finished renovated rooms (like ours)were great.
It was a pleasant experience, situated to the place i want to visit like the High Gorge Falls and ausable chasm. It has clean bed sheets and towels, bathroom clean and functioning, essentials are provided, 2 bedroom and bath for a decent price plus kitchen. The only thing is that only one room has electric fan. I would be nice if both rooms could have it, i end up using the window electric fan. Another thing i love are the 2 restaurant nearby called Adirondack mountain cafe and ice jim inn.
I loved Brookside Motor Inn! We had a lot of space--two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a small kitchen--for a super reasonable price. The decor is dated, yet I love that they use what they have instead of sending things to the trash and replacing them with newer versions. In this way, this hotel seems truly to practice sustainability. I also loved opening up the back door and seeing the creek--it is literally just steps away. I will definitely come back when I am in this area again!
Uneven floor in middle of room, stubbed my toe and bled and constantly tripped on it, broke the glass I had in my hand.
Only room 2B no window in front. Windowed faced the back where there was a trashed couch in the woods.
Wifi with no internet connection. No cell phone service (at&t) had no way of contacting my family they were so worried.

Basic but spacious accommodations. Quite dated but clean and perfect for our needs. Kristin's friendly help with a last minute room change was invaluable. Thank you!!
