The Historic Brookdale Lodge, Santa Cruz Mountains, Brookdale

I had a decent stay overall. The location is fantastic, nestled among the redwoods and just a short drive to Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek. The rooms felt a bit outdated and dark, but they were clean and comfortable. Service was friendly, although it seemed they prioritized some guests over others. The dining options were limited, which could definitely use some improvement.

During my stay at the hotel, I found the location to be great for a mini vacation, with plenty of activities nearby. While the rooms were a bit dated and had a strange decor, they were clean. The service was not the best, as I felt the staff could improve in customer service. However, it was a decent value for money overall.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed bag. The location is beautiful, set in a charming small town that felt refreshing, while the staff was welcoming and accommodating. However, the room could have used some updates as it didn’t feel as modern as I expected, and the bar area was a bit overrun with some unruly patrons at times. Overall, it’s a decent option, but not without its quirks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Redwoods, and the rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and shared interesting local stories, which I appreciated. However, there was a bit of a musty smell in the room that detracted from my overall comfort. The dining experience was just okay, and I had hoped for more variety during breakfast, which was a letdown. Still, considering the value for money, it was a decent stay.

I had a pleasant stay, with spacious and clean rooms that offered a level of comfort I appreciated. The friendly staff made a positive impression, and the location was perfect for exploring local attractions. However, the dining experience didn't quite live up to my expectations, as options were a bit limited for breakfast. Overall, I felt I got good value for my money despite some minor drawbacks.
