The lodge has a unique and historic charm that's hard to find elsewhere, making it visually appealing at first glance. However, the overall experience was marred by poor service, run-down facilities, and a lack of cleanliness. The dining options seemed to promise more than they delivered. I appreciated the location amidst nature, but it didn't compensate for the negatives I encountered during my stay.

This hotel has a charming historical character set amidst the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains, offering a unique lodging experience that many appreciate. While the ambiance and dining options received high marks, some aspects, like room condition and service inconsistencies, left a bit to be desired.

My stay at Brookdale Inn was quite an adventure, but not in a good way. The historic charm of the lodge was overshadowed by the outdated and poorly maintained conditions. While I appreciated the character of the building and the efforts of the staff, the significant issues with cleanliness and safety made it hard to enjoy my trip. Overall, it felt like the potential of this place is lost amid its current disarray.
