We have used Brookstone many times since family lives here. Many months ago the pool had no heat & this time it was closed. It smelled like chlorine but had a film on top. People next door partied all night with music & tv on. It siunded like 50 people in that room. When everyone left, The (very loud) tv stayed on. No spoons in the dining room in the morning and no one ever came in to check on food/drinks. Did I mention no soap or shampoo in the room? This is the 2nd time my grandkids have been disappointed by the non existent pool. We are changing hotels as it’s clearly going downhill.

So far I’m happy with my stay. First room’s climate control wasn’t functioning, but front desk manager ran a key up for a new room quickly and that one was great. Would like to see more cardio equipment in fitness room, but it’s decent.

Nice,comforting, clean. The workout room hours should be earlier. Business people have to leave early. The elliptical needs to be repaired and the gym needs to offer water.

Stayed 1 night

When I showed up I stood at the front desk for well over 10-15 min no one came out so I called the hotel as I was standing in the lobby to get someone to come to the desk. Then I requested a main floor room as I am disabled and have a service dog. I was informed that they needed to put me on the third floor because it's the only room with a king size bed. I informed them I was ok with a queen size bed and they refused to switch my room so I had to trek up to the third floor. I went down to breakfast only to find not much food left. did I mention the elevator! it clinked and clanked like it was going to quit working. when I got on there was a gentleman on there I said im really afraid this thing is gonna quit working he says "you are the seventh person to say that to me" . as I was getting my things together to check out I noticed a BLOOD SPOT on the comforter from someones period! DISGUSTING! it had looked like it had even been there a while. I took a picture of it also! it has to be the worst stay I had ever had very disappointed I want a full refund!!!

We stayed at Brookstone because we thought it was one of the best choices for the area. Upon entrance I thought it looked nice. But, our bathroom was not as clean as it should have been, bed pillows were not great, hallway carpets were filthy. Honestly , attention to detail is definitely needed.

Terrible place. Went to immediately set thermostat and found MOLD spots on the bottoms of the shear curtains. Food in refrigerator, pieces of food on the carpet, many liquid rings on furniture, terrible water pressure in shower, toilet made for people under 4ft while the shower couldn’t be reached to direct unless over 6ft. Ridiculous. Pretty on the outside, terrible inside except for the receptionist.

The road next to the property was very busy and loud at night. On our second night, a wedding party moved in next door, and they were up playing loud music and talking until 5 a.m.. Make sure you're not in a block of reserved rooms for a wedding.

First room we were assigned had no TV/chair. Tub caulk was black in spots. We’ve been staying there for years, but this might be our last time for a while. Lobby was fine…but rooms need a badly needed refresh.
