Brookdale Lodge

I stay here whenever I travel to the Central Coast. It’s literally like being transported to a different world for me. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful in all regards. The natural surroundings are breathtaking, and the history and charm of the lodge make for an interesting , relaxing and invigorating experience. Recent renovations make leaving the property optional. Everything you need is onsite, however if you choose to, a short 20 minute ride down the mountain will land you right on the beach. I usually save that excursion for my last day or two. If you need to decompress, or just want to think and meditate, this is the spot! Rosebud and Josh will take care of you! Just go do it!!

They advertise a "cafe, bar/lounge, and pool", which NONE of these things are open. The property itself is relaxing and gorgeous. The trees and brook are serene. The staff is very friendly. Hotel rooms comfy and very clean. But besides a small convience store, there is not much to see and do here. Im hoping this place gets restored and the pool, cafe, and brookroom reopen to its full glory. I hope they can get an owner who cares more about the property.

We had an amazing weekend here! The rooms are large, newly remodeled, and very comfortable. We even had a really big private balcony. The historic part of the lodge is really cool and spooky looking. The staff knew all the history of the lodge and the area, they were basically tour guides!

Incredible view and great service!! The room was clean, large, and extremely comfortable. There was a nice balcony, and a fun nightclub with a really good band and gourmet hot dog stand!! Perfect get away place for a weekend away! Thank you Brookdale Lodge!!

The room was spacious and looked clean. We arrived at 3:00 pm and thankfully the room was ready. As we opened the door the musty odor was too much and we had to open the balcony door and windows. There is no microwave or coffee maker in the room which could be a nice touch. At night, I wanted to use the balcony which was very nice but the bulb was out. By the way the handle of the door to the balcony was broken as well. Overall we liked it and I can say with a little more attention from the owners, it can be one of the nicest place to stay.

We've stayed here many times over the last 6 years because family lives nearby and it's convenient. Rooms are always clean. Management is always responsive to any issues. This time, we got upgraded to a king suite and got a discounted rate, both without asking. They need help raising money to finish repairs on the historical room that has the creek under/in the floor. We will stay here again.

My first time back in over 20 years, and it didn’t disappoint! The whole wonderful experience started at the front desk with a gentleman named Josh. He was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful; a great first impression. | Our room was clean, and the shower was nice and HOT. It was great to enjoy the crisp Redwood air from the balcony while taking on the breathtaking scenery.| The Brookdale Lodge has everything you need for a comfortable, lengthy stay. There is a small 711 type convenience/liquor store on site, as well as a bar and a 1950’s style cafe with an extensive menu.| The historic pool and Brook room were still under renovation when we stayed, but we will be back , so we didn’t sweat it that much. | We checked out with another wonderful employee at the Lodge named Rosebud-her friendliness was the perfect punctuation to our stay.|Can’t wait to return.

A trip to the Brookdale Lodge was interesting got a later start than I wanted to didn't get there until about 7:00 mini road closures in the afternoon Scotts valley drive is closed Graham Hill road was closed had to come highway 9 but we finally got there and absolutely enjoyed myself had been looking forward to this trip for at least a year checked into the hotel nice staff then went to the store got a few things then we eat at the diner then we were on to the bar for the evening had a few drinks enjoy the people and the music very relaxing but next time I come which I hope will be in a month or two I'm coming for two nights a Friday and Saturday! Over great time hated to leave!👍
