My wife and I had a lovely weekend stay at this inn during the 4th of July weekend. We were mostly in the area for hiking and just needed a place to sleep and relax when not exploring the area. The place was fairly quiet and comfortable. It’s pretty much a full apartment with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The place is a little dated but we didn’t mind at all because it had everything we needed at a reasonable price. The only complaint I have is that one day after a long hike we came back to shower and didn’t have hot water. Thankfully it only happened one day. Hopefully this is resolved going forward. We’d love to stay there again in the future.

This was a really nice little place to stay. It's basically a small apartment with all the amenities it has. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything i needed. The only negative thing i could say, which is no fault of the property owners, is that there is no cellular service.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately this place is filthy. We checked in and upon entering the room were hit by an odor of dirtiness and mold. The room itself was dirty and the linens appeared to have not been washed in quite some time, hair on the sheets when we pulled the filthy comforter down. There was no running water in the kitchen or one of the baths when we arrived and the staff texted us it would be turned on but my asthma was starting to kick in due to the smell and there was just no way we could stay here. There are many nice places to stay in the ADk’s, this is definitely not one of them!!

This is a great find. Everything is very bare bones but for the price and location it is worth it. It is very quiet and comfortable. The kitchenette is a great addition!

The Brookside Motor Inn in Upper Jay is a rustic two-story motel in the High Peaks Region of Upstate New York’s Adirondack Mountains. Rooms on the upper level are only accessible via a steep rickety wooden staircase that looks and creaks like the one that led to the basement of my grandmother’s farmhouse. If you have any mobility issues, make sure you specifically request a room on the ground level. Carrying our luggage up the stairs while hanging on to the board railing for dear life was a challenge. We received a text message informing us of the access code to our room. When we arrived, we rang the doorbell of the house by the motel with the word “office” on the door. Nobody came out to meet us. Instead, a gruff voice over a speaker asked if we had received the text with the room access code. When we said “yes,” the voice responded, “Then you’re checked in.” Then the speaker went silent. We never saw any management or staff member during our stay. For all we knew, the voice in the speaker could have been from an absentee owner managing the facility from a distant city. Our room was very clean and attractive in a rustic sort of way. The bed was comfortable. There was a kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator, sink and stove. The kitchen was also stocked with complete sets of dishes, flatware, cookware and utensils. Our bed was comfortable. The bathroom was modern and functional. We had no problems requiring management assistance, so we enjoyed our stay.
