“The Historic Brookdale Lodge's location in the Santa Cruz Mountains makes it a good base for exploring local nature. I think families will particularly appreciate the spacious rooms and pet-friendly policies, but the possibility of live music adds a layer of entertainment that sets this Brookdale landmark apart. While some may find the ongoing renovations a temporary drawback, the charm of a hotel with such a unique history still shines through.”
