Our pick of the best The Brook Hotel Deals
The Hotel Nelson
Room was simple but clean, staff were very attentive, location is nice and central. Quiet area - even when we stayed over New Year's Eve. Pool isn't huge, but was still a hit with the kids.

Rutherford Hotel Nelson
The stay was good but the parking was not convenient. Free parking got filled easily and additional parking was at a cost. For the expensive price we pay for the room, the parking should be free as the normal hotels provide.
