A basic motel. The renovations are nice. The room is small. We had trouble with the code on the door, but were finally able to reach someone and get it straightened out.

Not worth the price
Check in was confusing. No front desk person. And no one on property to trouble shoot. And so far no instructions for check-out.
Totally self directed stay however that lack of staffing didnt seem to be reflected in any lower prices. The room was expensive & smaller than pictured.
Positives: comfy beds and humble but cute decor.

There are not many places to stay near Hillsdale, NY. The Brooks Motel is an exceptional find. A renovated 1950s roadside motel, The Brooks provided a safe haven for the night. A no host hotel, guests are provided by email a code for the keypad on the door. A text and phone number are provided to reach the host if something is needed. The hosts are quick to respond and very gracious. Beds are new memory foam and very comfy. My only complaint is that there is no carpet on any floor, only concrete.

Niagara Canada is has a wild city center for families visiting the attractions. Kings Inn is walkable to everything without being in the center of everything, super convenient. Quiet and simple, it felt like a place I could take a nap between here in there or stay for aweek and be treated like family.

Had a lovely night at the Brooks Motel. It’s very well appointed with super comfy beds. There doesn’t seem to be staff on site but a number you can contact with any issues - we didn’t have any and it was not a problem for us. The room was clean and recently renovated. Close to lots of good dining options in Columbia county and the Berkshires.

Excellent customer service!! Very accommodating and took my concerns seriously. Room was modern and very clean. I over slept because the bed was that comfortable. Will definitely go back and refer to friends. Until next time.

Clean during rehab
The hotel feels like it is in the first steps of rehab. Walls/trim were painted without being fully repaired. The floors were painted concrete, I guess they ripped up the old carpeting to make it habitable before they had the money to replace it. concrete floors in the winter are very cold.

It was exactly what we needed for the visit. Clean room, tv, wifi, excellent shower, towels, coffee. It’s a little bare-bones (concrete floor and painted plywood walls), but noise wasn’t an issue. Seamless checkin and checkout. Would stay again.
