So the property was nice and I would stay here again... except, the hotel shut off the AC and the room was too warm overnight. So, I can't give it five stars.

Bathrooms are up to date, and the hot water comes quickly! We enjoyed learning the Inn was originally a railroad depot. Located on a pretty quiet street, with excellent blackout curtains. We had a lovely stay.

The Inn enhanced our Cooperstown experience. Our room was clean, comfortable and historical, and staff was friendly and helpful. We could easily walk to the Baseball Hall of Fame, restaurants and shops. Breakfast was a simple, yet sufficient 24 hour offering of fruit, packaged snacks, bagels, juice and hot beverages. The porch and grounds are beautiful and offer a fire pit, outside seating areas and tables - unfortunately we went in fall and it was too cool for us to enjoy being outside long.

A nice comfortable stay that looked to be recently renovated. The hallway floor sounded hollow underneath but fortunately I was at the end of the long hallway and someone walking only woke me up once.
