We didn’t have high expectations and t unfortunately we got what we paid for. Our only complaint was mostly the “stale smell” in the room. Deodorizer used by facility didn’t cover it up! Bed very low to ground and only two folding metal chairs with in the room.

I never review but I feel like I need to. The bathroom was horrendously small can’t even move around in it to properly clean myself. My significant other couldn’t even turn around. The sink being on the outside of the bathroom is insane. It was cute but the bathroom I have a problem with. The pool could’ve been kept up with cleaning wise.

Basic and poor quality
The room was very basic, a thin blanket and old pillows, smelt of stale cigarettes, the carpet was ripped and didn’t feel very clean. Was a lot of money and not worth it.

This motel was absolutely disgusting, upon arrival we instantly smelt mold coming from the AC, there was mold in the bathroom and bathtub, we noticed different types of bugs throughout the room, there were stains all over the walls, the sheets weren’t clean and had crusty stuff on it.. We drove 6 hours to come to this place, the pictures are very decisiving. Both my son & I felt sick for days after staying at this motel. I would not recommend whatsoever. It was super overpriced. We were offered to switch rooms but every room we were offered was also filled with mold.

Check in was easy. We stayed in a basic cabin. No smoke smell. Clean. Had micro fridge and two chairs and bistro table. You parked your vehicle next to the cabin which I liked for keeping an eye on the car. There were several picnic tables across from the cabin that were shared. Outside light didn’t turn on. Outside stoop had two folding chairs. Exterior stoop and doorframe could use repainting or replacing of the wood but for the price it was not bothersome. Would recommend they get doormats for entry as you walk onto a carpet. There is heat and AC (we used heat) with a thermostat. Windows had screens too. Shower had hot water and I liked that I could adjust the water flow. I recommend the place as a good budget cabin.

There was literally one foot distance between the shower and the toilet so getting in and out was fun. The bathroom and only sink was outside the bathroom. The night stand was a TV tray. The doors were filthy, paint was chipping, etc. No maid service; we had to take our dirty towels to the office and request new ones, etc. We paid far too much and when I told the owner that the room was now listed for a lot less on another site, they just smiled. No closet, coffee pot iron or even a coat hook! Truly minimal. I would not stay there again

Brookside Inn & Cottage was a good place to stay. The bed was comfortable. Clean linens and towels. The cabin I stayed in had a microwave and a small fridge. Simply furnished but a good place for a night's stay. Nothing fancy and decently priced. Close to Saco and Kennebunkport.
