Benjamin, the owner, was great at communicating about the lodge. Upon booking my stay, I received an email about the lack of dinning facilities and the renovations at the lodge so I had plenty of time to prepare. When I arrived, Benjamin was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The lodge is located next to a post office and has restaurants walking distance in either direction. You're about 20 minutes from transition area for Ironman Lake Placid. The room was clean and had enough space for me to spread out to prepare for my race. Every time I saw Benjamin during my stay, he was always friendly and accommodating to my needs. Like offering a later check out the day after the race. During the day while they were working on renovations, they were very quiet and I barely noticed. At night, there wasn't any road noise and the only thing I would hear would be a neighbor in their room. The Mountain Brook Lodge was perfect for what I needed and if you're looking for a good spot for Ironman Lake Placid, I can't recommend this place enough!

Nice room and well appointed Only problem, wifi not reliable

Filthy, unsafe, broken windows, shower size of a phone booth, hard mattress, junk and trash thrown all around outdoor area, bugs, stepped on staple on rug, outdoor furniture filthy and pealing paint, plumbing (hot water) messed up, no electric plugs(one power cord) no one in office. No phone in room, no pool, no restaurant. Never stayed in such a terrible place!!!

Great stay

The staff is polite.

It seems like no one works at this property. The office is never open, and if you look through the window, you can see it is abandoned; there is no staff on site at any time of day as far as I can tell. I have no issue with having a contact-free check in, but that was not communicated prior to my stay nor was there any signage at indicating this. There was a sign with a phone number for “assistance,” unfortunately, this location is in an area with limited cell service, so completing a call was challenging. The wi-fi was down and with nobody on site there was no way to see if it could be fixed. The condition of this property is terrible. There were old cigarette butts outside of my room, and clearly no one had swept the walkway for a very long time. I would not recommend staying here at all.

Very cute and very clean room! Nice thick towels and cotton bed sheets. But NO WI-FI as advertised

Everything was exactly as it appeared in the photos. Classic Adirondack feeling spot. Awesome location to Whiteface skiing and a restaurant in walking distance. Owner answered our check-in phone call immediately. Would stay again.

We stay in motels quite often and know not to expect too much. We are easily pleased. This motel, however, was such a disappointment, I just have to warn other potential guests. We booked for two adults and a child and there was supposed to be a queen bed and a twin futon. The futon was not a futon nor was it a twin. It had a hard metal bar in the middle and was incredibly uncomfortable. We asked for more blankets which we put on the futon but it remained too hard to sleep on. The bed wasn’t much better. I don’t know how old the mattress was but the middle was so so sunken in that my husband ended up sleeping on floor. We booked two nights and barely slept a wink. The place is under construction, so there is no dining room nor is there staff available to help. If that wasn’t bad enough, the mold in the shower was incredibly. And there was zero water pressure. It was probably for the best that due to a lack of light in the bathroom we had to shower in the dark. And it wasn’t cheap either, altogether we spent 300 dollars for two nights. If someone had been available when we checked out at 10 am, I would have demanded my money back. But the office was closed. To the new owners: this place needs much more than a few new curtains, Adirondack themed quilts, and fluffy towels. Start with new beds and new showers. I don’t know what the other rooms look like, but room 12 is unacceptable.

Vile, disgusting, infested with mice and bed bugs. Management does not care. I stayed at the Mountain Brooke Lodge from February 2-4, 2024. It was clear this motel was cheap for a reason when I learned that you can’t use the microwave and heater at the same time without tripping the breaker, and that there was no warm water. I could have dealt with this, but when I found mouse droppings all over the place, I was disgusted. I didn’t spend much time here so I didn’t notice it until the evening of the second day, but it was EVERYWHERE. In the bathroom, on the sink, on the desk next to the coffee machine, all over the furniture. It was absolutely vile, I can’t believe I had to sleep here. I notified management when I left and thought that would be the end of it. When I got home, however, I opened my suitcase to find not only MORE mouse droppings but also bedbugs. I called management and they said they found no evidence of mouse droppings or bedbugs and thus could only offer me a partial refund. Not sure if they were lying or just didn’t actually clean, but these pictures clearly show otherwise. There were a lot more mouse droppings than just what’s in these pictures, but at this point I just wanted to get out of there. They also told me they had rented out my room to another person shortly after I left, not even taking time to have an exterminator check it out. This place is filthy and management does not care about your health/safety

These are not luxury accommodations. You should know that already from looking at the photos. Adjust your expectations accordingly. You can't pay these prices and expect the Hilton. What it is, is a nice, clean reasonably appointed room for a good price. You will not fear for your life from outside incursion nor from virulent bacteria growing inside. The sheets do not move on their own, and no science experiments take place in the shower. You will not need a tetanus shot after a night here. You want a reasonably priced, clean room you don't have to worry about, this place is all about it. Like a good radial tire, it's just doing its job so well you don't have to think about it. As a bonus, you're not lining the pockets of some billionaire. Your money goes to human people. That should be enough to tip the scales right there. Also, skip the foo-foo breakfast place in town. Go instead to the Downtown Diner, right next to it. You'll see why.

Will definitley be back!

Nothing fancy- but perfect for a little boys trip to Whiteface! Close and convenient and everything you need.

Very nice Adirondack getaway. Microwave and refrigerator in the room was very convenient. My only complaint was there was hair on the shower walls and in the drain from previous people. Very quiet and peaceful environment

Perfect motel for exploring the Adirondacks or skiing at Whiteface.

Owners and staff were super friendly and helpful. Motel is under renovations but they made sure we were aware ahead of time. Rooms that are currently available are cute and comfy and had everything we needed. We can't wait to see the motel when renovations are complete as it already has lots of charm with "Adirondack" type decor.

Enjoyed our stay there :)

The room was clean and cute, and the staff were very friendly.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay! It was a comfortable place to stay. 😊

My girlfriend and i really enjoyed our stay. Nice location with things to do. I met the property owner and had an enjoyable conversation. The only issue was the uncomfortable bed. I believe the owner had just purchased the property and will make the adjustment in time. We would visit again

On main road

Every year we come here because we like the quiet atmosphere that is also friendly. Some update is in the future.

Cozy mountain rooms and nice staff. Disappointed there was no warning the pool was completely drained when website said it was open all summer.

The room was clean quite and comfortable..

Owners are nice folks working to rebuild kind of a iconic motel. I like to support them when I can and unfortunately for my next trip, they were sold out (good for them). Nothing fancy, but comfortable and I always sleep well, there.

Run down. Noise. Outdated. Will not return.

We enjoyed our stay at the Mountain Brook Lodge while spending some time hiking and exploring Lake Placid. My children loved the bunk beds and the room was very clean and comfortable. The motel needs a bit of TLC and it appears that there is some work being done to upgrade things. The outward appearance is a bit rough around the edges, but the room itself had everything we needed and was charming. It seems the staff really took pride in the cleanliness of the rooms and everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Overall, a great visit and a nice stay!

Thank you for the nice stay

A cozy place and a throwback to another time. Run by friendly folk who care about their guests and property.

Great

The hotel is dated and a little worn but clean. Checkin was straight forward and without hassle. The beds were just ok comfort wise. I was here with my son to go hiking and it was good for that.

It’s a little cute place to stay. It was clean and cozy. Easy check in and out.
