Brookstone Lodge

Not what was advertised

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Booked the room because of the large jetted tubs and rooms, but when we checked in that was not the case. Our room was so small you could barely walk around. When we went downstairs to ask about the room we were told that there were no more rooms available. At that point, we cancelled our reservation and went to another hotel.

Pros: The bathroom may have been a bit larger than most and everything worked. The stairwells were nicer, cleaner, and newer than the room Everything seemed to function normally

Cons: The hotel is right on top of a major four lane highway The hotel is not a lodge The hotel pool was small and not clean The spa was out of order The breakfast attendant had an attitude The hotel was not new, contrary to advertisement The furnishings were low quality There were no room amenities, such as lotion, etc. There were few item choices for breakfast The "reduced" rate for one equals two nights at a Comfort Inn, which is just about a notch above the level of this hotel

It was fine but left me wanting more

Pros: It wasn't bad, I just felt like for the money, it left me wanting more. Location was fine, not super close to downtown, but very convenient to I-40. Cleaning crew was very interactive and sweet. Great shower, water pressure and bathroom. Had a waffle maker. Great for families bc it has an indoor pool. Everything seemed really clean.

Cons: I went up hoping to have a really great weekend by myself and ended up paying $100 a night for a really tiny room. Probably the smallest I've been in. Internet was very slow. There was no floor length mirror in my room (I am female so this is important to me!) The A/C unit was a bit loud and kept me awake. Lots of kids. Parking lot was pretty dark. Close to highway so it was loud at night. Breakfast wasn't that great. No healthy options. (sugary cereal, scrambled eggs, sausage, waffle maker, breakfast breads, juice and coffee) - no granola bars in the shop area- only chips sodas ice cream candy. Overall I really didn't feel like it was the best value for the money. I typically don't report negative things and am pretty accepting, but I just wish it had been a little better experience especially at this price point.

Fair

Pros: It was shabby but clean. Staff was accommodating with directions. I like getting a USAToday in the morning It was economical Comfortable mattress

Cons: The rooms were worn. The location wasn't very close to downtown or to Biltmore Village The breakfast was not appealing Room was shabby No TV channel guide
