I thought it was a great motel at a great price. It was very clean inside with plenty of towels and soap/shampoo. They also had a pool! They had 26" Flat Screens and a good cable package. Hard to beat for that price! If you are going to the Baseball Hall of Fame, you should stay here!

Great place, great price. One of the cleanest hotels we could find on short notice. I read some of the other reviews after we had gotten our 2 rooms and we were blown away. They may be a little short on staff but that is the only thing other than that great overall the old man who booked us in even offered to show us the room first and was very kind the whole time.

Room very clean. Beds extra comfy, need extra pillows. WiFi was not usable in our room, but we were pretty far away from office. Need better towels. As stated by other people, decor is outdated, but I'm here to rest, not look at the room. Nice place.

Well worth the money this was a resort. Not musty, no bed bugs. Clean bedding, towels, cups and soap.The lighting in my bathroom was poor ?

Folks were very nice. I stayed in room 129 and it was dated in some aspects, but clean. I was worried about odors since some rooms are smoking, but it had no smell whatsoever. Although I am a light sleeper, I slept great. The bed was firm and it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night. It's in a central location that is close to a lot of restaurants. Took off one star because the water could've been warmer.

We stayed there for 7 days during the baseball tournament. The room and bathroom were clean, and the beds were comfortable. Located just 5 minutes from the Cooperstown All-Star Village. Highly recommended.

If you’re going to Cooperstown Allstate Village this is a great place to stay without breaking the bank! It’s 5min away from everything you need. Staff is super friendly as well.

I remember staying here back in 2022 on an autumn road trip to Maine and it was a fun experience. Walked to pizza land and had so many places within walking distance of the motel. It's like a sketch of family guy being here. I look forward to going back again this year.
