The Brooks Motel

Infested with large spiders Spiders in the bedsheets, walls, bathroom.

No office or way to receive help. We were missing a tv remote. I made 4 calls and they did nothing. I would not go back.

Clean, stylish and simple. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Decent value for the money I guess. Basic but clean. Thats important. There were issues with a non-working fridge and a dehumidifier that needs to be dumped but other than that all w as fine

Comfortable bed. Rooms smelled like the plywood used to build the furniture. Took a bit to adjust. No front desk or help on site - need to call if you have any issues.

I will be back

The bedsheets had blood stains and a dead fly. The door did not safely lock.

Dirty. No one cleaned before we entered. Food from previous guest in the fridge. Trash that I won't describe in the trash bin. Rug sopping wet from a recent rainfall. When I reached out by text (the only way to reach them) they asked me to inform the cleaner in the morning.

Basic, clean and good value for the money.

There was a hot shower, a bed with clean sheets and cold AC. That’s my bare minimum and it checked all the boxes. Pluses: they let me check in an hour or two early which was helpful. The pillows were fantastic. There was a dehumidifier running. We had to empty it, but I’m glad it was there to keep the space comfortable. Neutral: the floor is entirely concrete. Cold in the summer which is fine, might not be so nice in the winter. No rugs or carpeting. Bed was super firm. Not as comfortable as I was hoping but some folks might like it. A weirdly excessive amount of oriented strand board (basically plywood) for “decor”. Headboard, shelving, etc. Not so great: the ac was open at the bottom, letting whatever moths/little bugs fly in. I shoved a towel in the empty space to keep them out but it’s a short term fix. Parking was a little tricky. You’ll see what I mean if you book and get a corner unit. Nothing was a deal breaker and I’ll stay there again if I need to. It’s not the ritz, it’s a renovated motel in the middle of nowhere. Go in with reasonable expectations and you’ll be fine.

To check in, you need to call a number and fill out a text with your information. Digital code for the door, no one there for housekeeping if you need something. Lovely land, but my goodness its awful. Pictures seem way bigger and nocer than what the rooms really are. Water doesn't get hot for showers. Toliet paper, as seen in my pictures, was left like that. Checked in to a messy dirty area. Food from previous stay was left in fridge and smelled so gross. Only good thing is the bed, thats it. Not worth the price. Theyre charging hotel numbers forgetting that they are just a motel. Come morning I had already been told I coupd have late check out, woke up to a house keeper banging on the door over and over. I answered it and she kept saying "no english". It was awful to be honest. Not kid friendly or pet, due to the way the traffic is on the highway on top of the hill. Plywood is literally thrown everywhere as decor, headboard. Got a splinter so be careful. I was in room 9. Allergic to bees? Theres hives everywhere specially in the ac which doesnt work that well.

Check in was confusing. No front desk person. And no one on property to trouble shoot. And so far no instructions for check-out. Totally self directed stay however that lack of staffing didnt seem to be reflected in any lower prices. The room was expensive & smaller than pictured. Positives: comfy beds and humble but cute decor.

Wry nice and clean.

Excellent two night stay. Well-organized room, comfortable bed, perfect for having our little dog along.

The stay was great. We had some issue getting the access code to work getting into the rooms, but altogether it was ok.

Easy process. Clean room with comforable bed.

Strange at first because it doesnt look, or feel, like a motel ive been to before. Summer camp-ish, in a good way. I woke up unmurdered to the sound of birds and a stream that flows behind the building. I highly recommend.

A basic motel. The renovations are nice. The room is small. We had trouble with the code on the door, but were finally able to reach someone and get it straightened out.

There are not many places to stay near Hillsdale, NY. The Brooks Motel is an exceptional find. A renovated 1950s roadside motel, The Brooks provided a safe haven for the night. A no host hotel, guests are provided by email a code for the keypad on the door. A text and phone number are provided to reach the host if something is needed. The hosts are quick to respond and very gracious. Beds are new memory foam and very comfy. My only complaint is that there is no carpet on any floor, only concrete.

Great little motel. Great location. Everything you need for a trip to Columbia County
