The Brooks Motel

We canceled our reservation two days in advance because of an impending snowstorm and the cancellation of a ski race we were traveling for. The hotel denied full refund saying they cannot control the weather and that we could still come and stay. That response made it clear that guest safety is secondary to enforcing policy, even when travel conditions are potentially dangerous and the reason for the trip no longer exists. If you value flexibility or safety during winter travel I would think carefully before booking here.

The place had no onsite staff and it smelled really bad. There were two air fresheners that smelled horrible on top of musty smell.

The Brooks motel was a great short stay. Easy check-in and check-out, good location, and service was great. Dog friendly as well. Would recommend to stay if you need a couple nights and are visiting around the area.

The Brooks was a fantastic options for our wedding guests! We recently got married at Taconic Ridge Farm on 9/13/15, which is conveniently right across the street. A year before, my husband and I came by to test out the Brooks and couldn’t believe what a comfortable stay we had with our dog! Nolan also stayed at the house on the property with his groomsmen for the wedding. We really appreciate how communicative the Brooks was about our room block and how many rooms were booked and available. Their online booking system made it really easy for guests, and we appreciated them giving us the option of various ways / flexibility as to how we set up the block (vs other places that required a full buyout). Look forward to coming back soon!

The Brooks Motel is a fantastic spot with a cool, modern interior design & stylish details that give it a boutique feel. The room was super clean, with a comfy bed and thoughtful touches like USB headboards and mini-fridges. The location is perfect too! Hillsdale is a charming town, and you’re just minutes from Great Barrington and Hudson. It’s a quiet, relaxing place to stay, and I’ll definitely be back!
