The 2 people we met were very nice. Just keep in mind , the Inn is an older home and sadly it is showing its age. We needed to ask for a heater, as the room was chilly and a draft could be felt coming thru the windows. We ended up leaving a day early. :(

Staff was friendly, dietary options, bed was comfortable, water containers in room with comfotable lounger. Loved the power strip to accomodate my electronics. What can be improved is the parking for larger vehicles but a space was found for my husbands truck. Though the bathroom was tight, the room was spacious. Cooperstown is quiet but you feel relaxed and refreshed after your stay.

Well-located and comfortable. Coffee at breakfast was mediocre, so we went to a coffeehouse in town (The Stagecoach), which was excellent.

We enjoyed the morning breakfast and having conversations with the other guests. The breakfast was delicious and the conversation around the table with complete strangers was fun, informative and very easy. We looked forward to the next morning's conversations and discussions about what we each had done the day before.

The Inn is lovely, and Marge and Ed go to incredible lengths to make it feel like home--delicious home-cooked breakfasts are just one of the perks. It truly feels like you're with family! We could not have been happier with our choice of The White House Inn!

The White House is a wonderful place with nostalgic pieces and a great history. It was like staying at a friend’s house. The hospitality was first rate and breakfast was wonderful. It was nice to converse with other guests. It was about 5 blocks from the Hall of Fame. Easily walkable.

How on earth this place received a 9.6 exceptional rating is beyond my comprehension. The small house is old and tired. The reviews on line are misleading.
