Brookside Lodge

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good
"Wonderful staff, really wonderful room and of course I loved the balcony on the river. Bathroom fixtures appeared new and in good taste which is not always the case. I wish the pillows were slightly better quality (these were lumpy) although I hate hard pillows which many hotels have and this one didn't. One key praise I must mention that might seem silly : almost every single hotel I've ever stayed in all around the world, with all numbers of stars almost always have bath and shower drains that back up. It's a major pet peeve of mine to stand in water after the shower is off. But with Brookside - didn't happen AT all! Love it!"
