The gentleman at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The toilet was very noisy every time we flushed it and the room was very cold upon entering we had a turn the heat up. it was cozy and appropriate for the price that I paid.There was a bug I just noticed on my bed that looked very much like a cockroach. I truly hope it isn't.

Friendly, helpful staff. Easy 10 minute drive to downtown Cooperstown. Lovely view of the lake. Quiet…. Room was clean and albeit small, it was adequate - we were only there to sleep - that being said, Mattress and box springs need to be updated big time to provide comfort to weary travellers.

This place is seriously the best
One of my favorite places to stay. My partner and I came to this motel a year ago for a concert at Ommegang Brewing and absolutely LOVED everything about it. The staff is great super helpful, the rooms are great. We decided to make it an annual getaway spot. Excited to try a cottage next year :)

The room smelled like mildew and bleach to me. The bathroom floor was soft. The closet floor molding was looking as if it was rotten, mildewed and cleaned with bleach. There was mildew under the glass of a photo hanging over the bed. I just had a 1 night stay. The room was adequate for that. I let person in office know when i checked out. They did not seem interested.

Wonderful Experience
We absolutely loved our stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The office staff were very friendly and helpful. And of course, you just can’t beat the view! The only negative is how low the TV is on top of the dresser. It makes it difficult for the person further away to see it at night.

It was noisy because it was right on the road. The view was limited because of electric lines. The blankets on the bed were dirty and had hair on them. The floor in the bathroom had a dip in the tile in front of the sink. Very dated, could use a good cleaning.

Victoria - thank you for your thoughts on your recent stay withus. We appreciate your taking time to leave feedback. When guests arrive for their stay, they are provided with phone numbers to reach staff immediately if they encounter any issues with their accommodations. I did check with the office and they do not have record of any complaints about your stay. Our housekeeping staff receives many high compliments about their work and had our staff been made aware of an issue with your blankets on your bed, we would have immediately came and remedied that. We have made maintenance and management aware of the floor in the bathroom and will be addressing that issue.

This was a nice place and Cooperstown a nice spot. It is a old country motel in essence so you have to know your staying in a part of history. Aside from the lcd tv the place could be a 1960s time warp. Thats part of the charm for me. The lakefront is beautiful.
