Pros: The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Cons: This is a very barebones set-up. Nobody checks guests in (or rather, it's all over text/email) and there is no staff around. In the rooms, the cement floors are very cold, there is a shortage of surfaces, and one little hook for clothes & coats. The bathroom fixtures were coming out of the wall and there were scratches & scuffs all over the door. Everything felt very cheaply made. During my stay, the power went out and there was a pile of leaves outside my door I had to trudge through. The reality doesn't live up to the cute photos. Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't stay here again.

Shower was weird, didn’t have a lot of water pressure in it. Heating unit in room kept making a weird noise. Floor was super cold, as it was concrete and no carpet or rug on it. My doors extra lock was broken. Most of the outlets in the room did not work.

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.
