Very Disappointing!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/17/09
Old and shabby, no amenities, no decoration - weird layout. They did not clean the room between our days stay - said they were busy. I've heard these are new owners - i don't think they know how to run a hotel. Unfortunately the area's hotel rates are usually high, this hotel has reasonable rates (if it was a decent hotel). I've ...

Brookdale Lodge

Hello I am not very happy with the new owners of the Brookdale Lodge and I don't trust them with this place either and I feel they will take the original history away and Stop great people from coming back and The new owners should be told to leave for violation of damaging the real Brookdale Lodge and There are ways to keep the place looking ...

Came to The Brookdale Lodge in 02' and "04 to see the great Leon Russell The lodge has never been The Ritz but it was full of charm. both times had an experience of a lifetime. A rare chance to intimately see a great artist I appreciate the old lodge and am certain Mr.Russell nor Elvin Bishop or any of the other greats will perform there ...

Cute Vintage Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/08
Brookdale Inn and Spa has soo much character. Took a break from my daily grind and found myself in a cute vintage hotel set in Santa Cruz Mountains. The lounge was delightful and the bartender Roco was fun to talk with. His cosmopolitans were so tasty. If you are looking for a retreat from your everyday life I highly recomend the Brookdale Inn and Spa.

Thumbs up to the New Owners
By elizabethj1979, 08/07/08
Found out there was new owners and I was kinda bumed. It turned out that they are doing so much work on the property to make it a 5 star destination vacation hotel. They are not quit there yet but you could see the work that they have done and it looks soo much better than before. Thumbs up!
"New management" is not better. We stayed 07-19-08!
We booked a room at the Brookdale Inn & Spa in April 2008 filled with excitement as my husband's sister was going to get married there in July 2008. In anticipation of a sold out hotel, we booked the room in advance for two nights and made sure to "ask for the new ...

House of Horrors - Bates Motel
By danmariaindublin, 07/28/08
Want to say that this is since the new ownership. When I made reservations in Jan of 08, I asked about a pool. I was told that the pool was being repaired and would be open by summer. Not so. When we checked in the manager, (Mr. Poon) and the girl at the front desk were very helpful and nice, We had a drink in the bar and Lynda was new and very ...

1st place on my list of worse ever!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/20/08
Drive right past and don't stop, that's my advice. Checked into our room and it hadn't been cleaned yet. Remains of a big party where still in the room. We waited patiently to finally check into a room that had beautiful french doors and a private balconey. Only problem was there were no knobs or locks on the french door! Two big ...

A Happy Traveler!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/08
First of all, the Brookdale Inn & Spa is under new management. Most of the comments are under the old management. They even have a new sales person to help with all arrangements for the gatherings which include flowers, beverages, etc. They are very reasonable with a great ambience!
The old cook is gone and the new chef, Eric, did a ...
