Stayed there two nights last week. Relatively new place and the outside and inside look great. Staff was young but accommodating. Once checked in is when things got tripped up. The tv was broken in our room. Got a room switch. Climate control in the room (heat pump) was not working and the room was hot. Had to ask for more tp as the role was almost empty at check-in. Cable tv still did not work so I had to use my You tube tv account. There was a stink bug that found its way onto my sleeping girlfriend. Yikes, she was not happy! Walls are thin and lots can be heard from the hallway even though not many people were staying there. The bed was not the comfortable compared to the rest of the decor which is quite nice and thematic. Would I stay there again? Possibly is the best answer I can give.

Great job renovating an old train facility into a cool inn! Helen was warm and wonderful, the rooms were pleasant and fun. Steps away from downtown Cooperstown (a fun walk, we passed because of the cold)... will come back and stay again!

It is a comfortable and friendly place. Everything is clean and they offer snacks, drinks and easy breakfast items. The whole inn is decorated in sleek modern lines with whimsy of train decor. I would go back anytime. One small negative was the showers are rainshower style and they do not offer much pressure.
