Accommodations were very comfortable and clean

Nice place

It was ok for the local and price however,the rooms are outdated. Renovations are badly needed, which they are supposed to be starting next week. The staff are not very helpful nor are the very flexible for mishaps due to third party bookings. Very strict regarding the 10 am check out time.

Liked that there were stores easily accessible and that your not very far from Old Orchard Beach

Appears clean on app, but on arrival it’s not at all clean!

Super cute cottage. Very nice grounds and pool. Convienent location.

Reasonably priced for the area and accommodations. Clean, convenient and quiet. Enjoyed staying here and will do so again 😊

I liked that each room was it’s own little “tiny house.” It was very quiet and felt like a safe area. Lots of food options near by. The room could have used some cosmetic updates and the shower was tiny, but overall a good place to sleep.

This room was prepaid for online because I knew I was not going to be there at check in. It was handled well!!

The beds were comfortable, overall a decent place. The neighbors were potheads who left quite the stink in the area and had a screaming row at 3:30 am. (Not the property's fault, but did affect our enjoyment of our stay.) The fridge's compressor was very noisy. The front staff were kind and seem like good people.

Very clean building. Easy check in. Quiet. Lots of parking. Easily accessible.

Decent

Fair value for price

Great service from front desk. Room condition was poor. Dirty doors and walls, poor flooring job and old furnishings.

This is a quaint little property. We rented a classic cabin and the pictures are exactly what you get. It’s small but cozy. The heat worked perfectly and the shower was small but hot! Bed was fine. Big flat screen tv with all cable channels plus a small microwave and fridge. The owner/manager was kind. Close to several lobster restaurants. The Sea Salt Lobster restaurant was delicious. It was a little over two miles to Old Orchard Beach which was a nice place to walk around during the offseason. I’d definitely come back here if I’m ever in the area again.

It was a good comfortable stay.

We got a full refund, couldn't stand it more than 10 minutes the toilet didn't flush and the tub drain was overflowing with a ton of body hair water and feces

Roaches all over the room

Accommodations were fine for the price. The bed was comfortable. The staff was cordial.

This was a last minute stay for me and they have been able to accommodate me and my need... the cabin is small but i didnt need anything much because it is only me. Ac works heat works the water in the shower is hot.

Cottages are small but nice. Would have been 5 star if there was a bath tub instead of only a shower.

The grounds were attractive. The rate was inexpensive. The bed was king size. However the amenities included only one plastic cup, only one coat hanger, and cheap toilet tissue and soap.

Wasnt terrible, it was quiet, decent and clean room.

Water was not as hot as we would have liked

Dingy, musty homemade curtains (sheets) barely covered the windows not the cleanest.

Cute cozy spot, the managers are very accommodating ❤️

The cottage was old and a little run down. It was small with few amenities. It was clean enough. The staff is friendly and both nights, week nights, were very peaceful. It was adequate for a place to sleep but not much more.

Simply discusting. Cleaning is basic. Looks they are not cleaning at all. I slept in my own sheets and did not want to sit or walk on anything. This place is filthy!!

Dirty and smelly.

Great

I think the facility is in the process of updating the interior. The other four people who also stayed had a bathtub that was in terrible shape. Our room smelled dirty. Our bedspread needed a wash. There was dry human secretions on the bedspread. Could have been from the nose or elsewhere. You get what you pay for.

Tiny cozy cottage

Cozy, clean, close to restaurants and attractions

Nice

Nice little cottage in a convenient spot near all kinds of locations.

The cabin was very clean, not even a spot on the carpet. Some things were damaged, for example the plate on the deadbolt was coming off which made the door hard to lock, but everything still functioned and was clean. The owner even let me check in very late because my flight arrived in the night.

Very cute , very quiet , all I need it !!! Very comfortable and clean!! The pool was amazing and the area is quiet and very close to restaurants and gas stations and to the beach actually

Cute cabin

Just needed a place to crash. Friendly host. Room was very small but we just needed one night so it was fine.

It was an ok stay. Our cabin was more of a duplex in the corner of the property. People sat outside our window on the chairs provided chatting loudly until 11 pm. It’s a room with a bed and small bathroom with a small room with frig and microwave. The table was a tv table with folding chairs. Not the cabin in Maine we had envisioned but affordable and right off the main road. A step up from camping.

This is definitely old school motel. I ended up in the handicap accessible room. The shower was perfect for handicap folks. The rest of the room look like they put the left over furniture. The bed was low to the floor. not ideal fot a handicap person. A wire that appeared to be capped, hence live was protruding from the wall over the door. Surely dated for sure.

Our door lock was busted, as though someon had broken in previously. Otherwise it was quiet and bed was decently comfy

The room was dingy. The batbtoom door was filthy like a mechanic was there. I had to skim the pool in order to use it because of the bugs in it. There was a hole in our wall and the size was no accuarlty depicted.

It's a room

We didn’t have high expectations and t unfortunately we got what we paid for. Our only complaint was mostly the “stale smell” in the room. Deodorizer used by facility didn’t cover it up! Bed very low to ground and only two folding metal chairs with in the room.

I never review but I feel like I need to. The bathroom was horrendously small can’t even move around in it to properly clean myself. My significant other couldn’t even turn around. The sink being on the outside of the bathroom is insane. It was cute but the bathroom I have a problem with. The pool could’ve been kept up with cleaning wise.

Room could have been cleaner, the bathroom door was filthy. One night stay, overall ok

Basic and poor quality

The room was very basic, a thin blanket and old pillows, smelt of stale cigarettes, the carpet was ripped and didn’t feel very clean. Was a lot of money and not worth it.

Low recommendation

Old and run down, though clean. No amenities. No coffeemaker or kettle. No tea or coffee. Overpriced for what it is.

Nope

This motel was absolutely disgusting, upon arrival we instantly smelt mold coming from the AC, there was mold in the bathroom and bathtub, we noticed different types of bugs throughout the room, there were stains all over the walls, the sheets weren’t clean and had crusty stuff on it.. We drove 6 hours to come to this place, the pictures are very decisiving. Both my son & I felt sick for days after staying at this motel. I would not recommend whatsoever. It was super overpriced. We were offered to switch rooms but every room we were offered was also filled with mold.

The smell of cigarettes is outstanding! The mold,its so bright 24-7, people outside at 3am yelling

It had 2 pools 😎 it was fun we had a deck to smoke on and we had are own little COTTAGE!

For the price and location it provided just what my family needed for our stay here in OOB close to everything you may possibly need

Check in was easy. We stayed in a basic cabin. No smoke smell. Clean. Had micro fridge and two chairs and bistro table. You parked your vehicle next to the cabin which I liked for keeping an eye on the car. There were several picnic tables across from the cabin that were shared. Outside light didn’t turn on. Outside stoop had two folding chairs. Exterior stoop and doorframe could use repainting or replacing of the wood but for the price it was not bothersome. Would recommend they get doormats for entry as you walk onto a carpet. There is heat and AC (we used heat) with a thermostat. Windows had screens too. Shower had hot water and I liked that I could adjust the water flow. I recommend the place as a good budget cabin.

There was literally one foot distance between the shower and the toilet so getting in and out was fun. The bathroom and only sink was outside the bathroom. The night stand was a TV tray. The doors were filthy, paint was chipping, etc. No maid service; we had to take our dirty towels to the office and request new ones, etc. We paid far too much and when I told the owner that the room was now listed for a lot less on another site, they just smiled. No closet, coffee pot iron or even a coat hook! Truly minimal. I would not stay there again

Relaxing

Brookside Inn & Cottage was a good place to stay. The bed was comfortable. Clean linens and towels. The cabin I stayed in had a microwave and a small fridge. Simply furnished but a good place for a night's stay. Nothing fancy and decently priced. Close to Saco and Kennebunkport.

Loved the little cottage perfect for 2 people

Staff was friendly. Clean but a little run down. Average. Would stay again. Lots of clean fluffy towels.

Good value

Well maintain cabin, clean, confortable beds and linings, nice little pool, good location, very good value for the price

Insalubre

Hôtel très sale,douche plein de noir avec moisissure,propreté dégueulasse le lit était confortable parcontre .Jamais je retourne a cet Hôtel.

Friendly staff but rooms had cigarette smell and linen had too much chlorine smell.

.

Will definitely come back!

We stayed in a cabin… A little outdated, but very clean and comfortable. Very cozy! The staff was very friendly and was very quick to perform housekeeping. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Will definitely come back!

The hotel was nice and staff. The garden to barbecue was perfect. They had 2 grills with picnic tables. 8 minute drive from OOB. Would definitely stay there again.

Pretty ramshackle place typical of foriegn pwned properties, no reinestment into the peoperty. Was a cheap stay. Ya get what ya pay for

Quick and easy check in/out. Friendly staff

Recommend staying in a cabin, not a room

The Brookside Inn is a great place for a couple’s getaway. The rooms are very clean and the beds are not hard. It is also very close to make restaurant options and OOB. I would stay here again.

dingy

the air conditioner worked and that was nice. lots of stains on lamp on the bathroom and front door and the room smelled like cigarettes.. staff was nice at check in.

Be cautious

Please take pictures upon arrival. We arrived late from an office trip with children and we had three rooms. All three had major issues, not to mention the dumpster was a rodent attraction. Which is right in between some of the cabins.

Great place for the price the pool was an added bonus. Would stay again

Trip

We stayed for a family trip. Room was on the small side. Bed was on the stiff side so if you need a soft bed this may not be for you. However everything we immaculately maintained. Pool was clean and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. For the price you can’t get a much better deal.

For the price point, I cannot complain. Would stay here again.

It was clean but needed some repair

Clean and comfortable low price lodging.

For a low price hotel, this really is not bad. very very clean. I found the shower a bit small- but otherwise really no real complaints.

Fine for the price

We had a great stay! Perfect for a night or 2. It was clean and neat. I chose it because it's pretty close to Fun Town Splash Town. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice stay for 3 nights! It was very clean and the pool was amazing

Family vacation

Great location next to everything, lots of things to do. Lady in the office was very nice & she let me check in earlier. Room was ok but a little outdated but I was happy it had a fridge and a microwave. One of the towels had a stain on it but I had my own. People staying here were very friendly. The pool was great & very clean.

The staff are very polite and helpful

A basic motel/cottage place - great price, but nothing special. We liked it because it was close to where we needed to be.

The place is overall pretty decent, clean enough, nice swimming pool, walkable to a lobster restaurant, close to OOB Pier, easy parking, staff is respectful. We like the place and will consider Brookside Inn again in the future.

Clean,quiet,and not to far from the Beach.

Decent place, I was turned off at arrival with only a plastic covered window to check in like a locked 24 hour gas station. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean, big enough. Didn't like the parking for my cabin, at a short distance walk versus in front like other's, but I asked for unit further from road, so reasonable enough. There was NO dresser or drawers of any kind, never seen that, not very helpful to put things away for your stay. Otherwise happy with the property. I would stay again if they added a small dresser or something of it's kind. Price was good for the classic cabin

Cute little cottages

It's your usual economy type place. No frills. Little cottages are cute, in-ground pool is a little smaller then I thought. Could use some updating..but I had a nice stay, no problems.

Close to everything

Nice little cottage for the price it definitely needs updating inside the rooms but overall the stay was okay

Would not return

Very basic

We only stayed one night Beach near by Great restaurant in walking distance Clean

Clean and friendly. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you!

This little cottage was pretty cute! Could use some updates to make it way cuter ( like new mattress) other than that a great place to stay!

The cottages were perfect for my family. Staff was friendly. I would stay there again.

We stayed in cabin #129 for 3 nights.It was super spotless clean. AC worked great. Bed was ok but the floor is a little slanted so we leaned to one side slightly & there is noise from the busy road & mechanic shop. However for the inexpensive price of this cabin it is well worth it. The host is very nice & the pool was refreshing.

Nice place for a one night stay. Would book again!

Nice little cabins. Very quiet

Pretty decent room and nice staff. Would stay again.

Cute cozy cabin

There should be towel bars next to the sink in the cabins. The refrigerators could be quieter. The door lock in cabin 124 didn’t work properly.

Room full of ants and smelly disposal bin 😧

Lady running the motel is a sweetheart and I really wanted to be able to give this room a good rating. However…..there was ants everywhere, the bed had clean sheets but was as hard as granite. The carpet was filthy and the garbage bin was full and smelled horribly. It’s a bargain price and frankly was over priced for what you got or didn’t get. Cannot recommend.

Cozy little place

Friendly staff, nice guests and my daughter loves the pool.
