Peaceful and cute

Super cute and peaceful location! I have never stayed in a motor Lodge before, and the convenience of having your car directly outside the room is insanely nice. I can see why it was such a popular design. The room was a bit dated, but very well kept, and the mattress older but not uncomfortable. The lodge has a small private beach a short walk down the hill, and you can borrow their kayaks for free!

Staff was friendly. Property was well maintained. The only issue was the size of the shower. It’s just as small as the reviews say. It was hard for my husband to fit in the shower and he’s only 5’11.

The stay was ok. They shower could use a new shower head for water pressure adjustments. Couldn’t enjoy shower because water go everywhere. The carpet could use some cleaning . Curtains missing at door windows. Bright light in room while sleeping. The lake is just a distance view

Okay if you want to spend less

I stayed here because it was half the price of everything in Cooperstown. You get what you pay for. The room is small. The two full size beds take up most of the room. There was about a foot of clearance between one bed and the entrance to the bathroom. The shower is small enough that it would be at home in an RV. There were several flies buzzing around the room when I arrived. Would just suck it up and pay more for a better room if I go back.

The staff was polite. However, the room smelled of old age and mildew and had a continous damp feeling. Also, the showrr was so small that it was impossible to feel entirely clean. No refunds unless canceled 10 days prior, so with no other availability in the area (Cooperstown tournament time), we were stuck. Would not recommend.

Clean and quaint motor inn.

We only stayed overnight and departed before the chickens arose the next day, but the property was clean and pleasant. The lakeside view was beautiful.

We were generally pleased

The room had an odd smell to it; whether it was musty/mildew or from cleaning products, I'm not sure. However, it didn't cause any allergic symptoms. I kept the windows open during the day to try to freshen the air, but it didn't help much. Also, the sink drain was slow. Other than these things my friend and I were pleased and would stay there again.

Peaceful Stay by the Lake

This modest motel lived up to expectations for a short stay while in Cooperstown. The room was clean and contained a small refrigerator and microwave. The property is well maintained and the view of Lake Otsego is picturesque. The property has an outdoor grill and ice machine, and just a short drive into the Village of Cooperstown provides access to restaurants and retail shopping. I would stay there again when visiting Cooperstown.
