The sheets didn’t look like they’d been changed on one of the beds, unfortunately. For being at the heart of Main Street I am surprised to find that the facilities weren’t more updated - we’re only here one night before the tournament starts tomorrow, so not a huge deal, but I would not return.

The hotel is extremely under maintenanced. The carpets had questionable stains, the ceiling had mold and was chipping right about the beds were you lay down. The grounds outside of the hotel were also not maintained well. And the entire hotel had a very moldy odor. And the breakfast was a total joke. Especially for $300/night. I was totally ripped off.

Had a short stay to visit the museums and attractions in Cooperstown. The hotel was about a half hour from Cooperstown and away from the crowds. The pool was closed. The hotel smelled a bit musty and some fixtures need to be updated but it was clean and comfortable. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance.

Staff was super friendly, but the hotel itself needed some TLC and/or renovation. Has potential to be a beautiful property. As a side note, there is a train with a very loud whistle/horn that will run through multiple times a night. It will wake you up. I wish I knew this before booking...

Do not stay here

We recently stayed at this hotel and were extremely disappointed. The property is severely outdated and clearly neglected—it’s evident that no meaningful investment or upkeep has been made in a long time. Our room smelled terrible the entire stay. The carpet was extremely old, stained, and damaged. One employee even admitted that it had never been replaced. The bathroom was just as bad. Mold was visible in the shower and under the peeling wallpaper. It was unsanitary and unacceptable. There was a couch in the room that was covered in stains and holes. The pullout bed in the couch was in terrible condition—held together with some kind of wire or rubber string, and completely unusable. I couldn’t sleep on it at all. When we asked for a better sleeping option, they gave us a cot that was even worse. We requested something more supportive, and the “solution” was placing two pieces of wood under the mattress. Other issues included a poorly functioning mini fridge and a toilet that would run nonstop unless you jiggled the handle after every flush. All around, this was a deeply uncomfortable and frustrating experience. We tried to address several of these issues with the staff, but nothing was meaningfully resolved. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone until it receives a full renovation and proper maintenance.

I highly recommend staying here! Emily made our trip to Cooperstown so much better! She went above and beyond to make sure our trip was memorable! By far the best hotel I have ever stayed at. I travel a lot so I see a lot of them. What separates this hotel from all the others? Emily. Thank you Emily for help making our trip to Cooperstown memorable. We won't forget you and the amazing hospitality you showed to me and my kids. If you need a place to stay, this is the best. Their customer service is second to none!!!

The ceiling was peeling off and falling on the floor. The lampshade was torn and hanging. Ran out of toilet paper and tissues, had to get our own. Ran out of clean towels and was only given two clean ones even though we registered three guests. The toilet was filthy and overflowed after one flush, when management was told, they gave us a plunger to handle ourselves. The fire sprinklers were rotted and coming off the wall. Strange red streak on the wallpaper, not sure what it was from.
