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!!

We were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. We were expecting one room with three beds but it was a nice surprise to find a 2 bedroom suite. Owner communication was great and the location was perfect.

The room was clean; however, everything was very old and rickety. Could hear people up above loudly. We never saw any staff at all. We were only there for one night. as a couple of ice climbers, it worked out fine and convenient to Keene climbing, but I don't think my wife would have liked it. Enjoyed the sound of the river right outside the window and was very reasonably priced. With a little effort i.e., paint, furniture, minor carpentry, could be a really nice spot. Would stay there again.

The rooms are HUGE! Lots of updates in the works. Quaint and accessible with lots of amenities in the suites. The road is quiet and the brook out back was a delightful surprise. We will definitely be back.
We did not see any staff, all self directed check in, so if you generally need a lot of support when staying places, this isn’t the one for you. If you like privacy and quiet, definitely book!

I decided to take a last minute two night trip to Lake Placid. I was looking for something affordable that was close enough to do some hikes, check out the main area of Lake Placid. The motel fit the bill for me as a place to sleep. It was clean, and it was what I expected. The furniture is older, it has a rustic smell. But it worked well for me. Location was probably the best part about the place for me. Checking in was convenient too as they text you your door entry code. I would stay again on a solo trip.

Quaint little hotel! Loved how big the space was, and it was close to everything. The stream behind the hotel made for a relaxing sleep, and it was wonderful having an oven for an occasional frozen pizza!
4.0
The bed was amazingly comfortable and the room was spacious. The place was extremely clean. It's a beautiful spot in a quaint little village and there's some great dining spots nearby. The only drawback is it's a very outdated motel. I know the owners are slowly redoing a lot of the rooms so it will improve with time. However, it's a great spot for the money and we will be back.

Room was clean enough, but old. The grounds had not been taken care of. There was no staff that I could see.

The brook behind the property is spectacular. Being able to sit on the veranda and listen to the flowing water was relaxing. The rooms were comfortable and homey.

It's an old building, old and worn furnishings. But very clean, which is most important. I received a text from the motel the morning of the day I was scheduled to arrive, telling me my room number, the code to enter on the door to open it, and that checkout time was 11 am. When I arrived the code worked fine. The office was closed even though it was only 5 pm. There was a sign on the door saying "out of office, please ring bell if you need service". I had what I needed so I didn't ring the bell. The office was closed the next day, although in the evening a light was on. Next morning when I left, the office was still closed with the same note on the door. So I never saw a single employee during my entire stay! The office was in a big dark house right next to the motel, no lights on inside although there were many outside lights strung up in a decorative manner. My room had a glass back door that opened to a path that went the length of the building, the rest was woods. The door had a thin curtain on it and I have this thing about people or creatures looking in at me at night, so I hung one of the large bath towels on the door to provide privacy. I can't complain at all, this was the cheapest motel in the entire area. They gave me what I wanted so if you don't want to speak to anyone and you want to save money, this motel will do you good.

Great little place with everything you need. Check I. Was via text with a pass code to the door and the wifi password. It worked fine but I am not sure what I would have done if it had not.

I stayed one night while in the area. Very comfortable bed. Nice room, for an older establishment. Relaxing with a rambling stream behind, very soothing water running all the time. This I loved! Plan to go back later in the year and stay again. Note: no cell service but free internet so bring your computer!

We had the pleasant surprise of staying in a 2 bedroom, one living area, full kitchen, 2 bathrooms place. Very cozy, comfortable, very Adirondack. Just 10 min distance from Whiteface, we had a wonderful time. Straightforward check in and out. Will return anytime.

The room was clean, and just about perfect for everything we needed on this trip. The guy at the front desk was friendly and nice. When we needed extra items they were available to us. The residents were friendly and helpful. The price was fair. We had a great stay and plan on returning.

Stayed in 5A . Pubic hairs in tub! The other tub had a sign saying shower only. Shower ceiling have mold and rot, all grout is bubbled and broken open full of mold. Walls in both bathrooms obviously are covered with mold inside. Beds were terribly uncomfortable, literally felt the springs in my back. Very out dated- tv from 1991, but the real problem was the obvious disrepair of the unit. No idea how this place is open with the issues in their bathrooms.

I did not notice when getting this there was no AC. But there was two fans so that helped.

The place is old, run down, and not appealing. Everything works and the room layout is great with two bedrooms and bathrooms and kitchenette. You get what you pay for. Don’t understand why it is rated 8 out of 10 stars.

Great stay! Room was recently renovated and very up-to-date. Full kitchen with new appliances. They are working hard updating and renovating this place.
