My only complaint is the property is a little rural and set back from the main areas of Cooperstown. The result is horrible cell service but the WiFi is great so just connect your phone to that!

Comfortable Stay, But Some Drawbacks

We stayed here during a trip to Cooperstown Dreams Park. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but there were a few issues worth noting. The beds were very comfortable, and the views of the lake from our room were beautiful — definitely a highlight. However, the property feels a bit dated. My son, who has allergies, experienced worsening symptoms during our stay, possibly due to moisture or air quality issues in the room. The mini fridge didn’t keep things very cold, and the showers were extremely small, which made them uncomfortable to use. Housekeeping was just okay — not terrible, but not great either. Parking was frustrating, as some cars weren’t parked within the lines, making it difficult to get in and out. One of the biggest inconveniences was the 25-minute drive to Dreams Park. It made it tough to go back and forth between games, especially with the tight schedule. Not a bad place if you're looking for a scenic, peaceful setting, but there are definitely a few things that could be improved.

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.
