We liked the location. Close to the town's interesting mixture of mountain living and Santa Cruz. The size of the room was large and it had a nice balcony that looked over the area. This hotel has an interesting history and the adjoining shopping center (small) had entertainment and a bar.
Our biggest disappointment was that the restaurant located inside the main building had closed. Management is searching for another restaurant owner to open it again. We did not have the hotel "breakfast" because we ate at the local favorite breakfast cafe.

The Brookdale Lodge has comfortable beds and the front desk staff is always friendly. The food in the diner, although a bit pricey, is really good. I love the balcony off the rooms. We didn't get to use it because of inclement weather but it's still a nice touch in Spring and Summer.
I asked for a top floor room because I'm a light sleeper and you can hear every footstep from above. I was given a lower-level room....my bad for not asking to change rooms. Food in the diner is a bit pricey. $5 for a can of coke and a glass of ice is pretty steep.

The room was large and clean. The staff is helpful. The shower had great water pressure and was the bed was comfortable. The location is close to Henry Cowell SP and there are many fun places to discover nearby.
We were there on a Tuesday night. The restaurant, pool, bar/lounge, and other parts of the property closed, there wasn’t much to do there once we checked in. There are lots of things to discover in nearby towns though and I imagine more amenities are open on the weekend.

The food was ok, it could be better but it was good
I ordered a medium well burger but received a very rare hamburger. Other than that no complaints here, loved the atmosphere and the fact that pets are welcomed there. The live music at the bar was amazing as well. Staff is so friendly, just loved it. We will be back multiple times this summer for a relaxing mini getaway

The setting with all the big trees. Super quiet and clean. The manage was very helpful and even helped us with our luggage. Thank you
We were disappointed that the Lodge with the stream flowing through it was closed. We had been to a Wedding Breakfast theree over 20 years and wanted to see it again. Also, we hadn't planned on stairs.

A convenient location close to Santa Cruz and the ocean, nested in the woods and within a few minutes from the Henry Cowell State Park. The rooms were spacious with nice porches.
The hotel could use a refresh of some of its facilities (it seems the pool is undergoing renovations). Not much to do within walking distance.

It's an historical place with lodge architecture in a beautiful mountain setting. The room was a nice size. The desk was helpful. The Italian restaurant in the town to the North was excellent. Very close to the Redwoods.
The property is a little run down. The restaurant is not in operation so we had to drive to town for dinner and breakfast.

Gorgeous location; large charming rooms that are both updated and comfortable. I walked in and it reminded me of my grandparents home in Florida - something about the smell of carpet and fresh wood. I could have to stayed there forever. I loved being able to read out on my balcony overlooking the beautiful trees. This was a great place, and a great price, affordable for an average family.
Nothing - we loved it

Our family had such a great time here. We found this lil gem because we wanted to get away from downtown Santa Cruz and expand our search to find this beautiful wooded area. We love the location! It is such a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy a few days. The lodge was pretty cool, and the rooms were definitely spacious and clean. Love the bathroom, hot water, nice lighted led mirror upgrade. It was nice to have the fridge/ freezer combo. **Now for the unexpected part... we were unaware that the Brookdale lodge was known for being haunted until the day before we were set to arrive. We were a little nervous but decided we would be ok as long as we didn't go looking for anything or inviting anything in with us. However, our first night, we were up a little late watching movies and heard some pretty loud thumping noises & footsteps coming from above us. We were in room 107 and heard this above us in 207. Honestly, we didn't think anything of it and just figured obviously there were people upstairs moving around and up just like us. The second night, around 2am, we were woken up by even louder footsteps and noises. We could hear someone literally running back and forth, then almost like someone was jumping up and down. We sat there for a little bit and thought maybe we should say something to the front desk in the morning. It eventually stopped, and we went back to bed. Later that morning, we were watching TV and getting ready to leave when we heard the loud thumps again overhead. We all looked at each other and started laughing, not knowing what kind of party was going on upstairs again. Shortly, we headed out the door to go to the boardwalk when we ran into Fabi. She was cleaning the rooms next door, so we asked if she knew if there were a lot of people staying in the room above us, and she said no. She told us her friend works upstairs and she had rooms to clean but not any that were around us......
The coffee pot didn't work very well and wished it was stocked with a lil more coffee and tea. I wished the diner was open every morning for coffee & tea, but it is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays.

Great location to enjoy a quiet 4th of July. Updated clean & large room with a balcony. Bathroom was clean & updated. Comfortable bed & furniture. Good job on the renovation. Friendly hardworking staff. Very peaceful environment among the redwoods. Onsite store & diner was a plus!
I had requested a ground floor room when I made the reservation & was disappointed the front desk employee told me there were none available. I had also informed on my reservation I had a 14lb dog & the front desk employee had to change me to the building where only pets stay. I guess the Brookdale Lodge can't guarantee requests. So it was a hassle walking my dog @ night trying to navigate the steep flight of stairs, me being a 67 year old senior traveling with my senior wife & senior canine. But we managed!
