Pleasantly Surprised

I typically stick with name brand hotels but the reviews were good and the location was perfect so I decided to take a chance on a two night stay. I was not disappointed as the staff was friendly and helpful and the accommodations comfortable. It has a bit of a B&B feel as I made some new friends during breakfast. If you are planning a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame I’d highly recommend the Railroad Inn

I found this property last Fall when I was in town on short notice. Being a small businessman myself, I always try and support non franchise hotels when possible. The Railroad Inn looked good on Expedia so I took the chance. I loved it! Super accommodating staff when I needed late check in, and a clean room with a comfortable bed. When we decided to do a weekend in Cooperstown with friends, I remembered this place and brought it up. We stayed two nights and everyone loved it. The suite with the circular staircase was super cool. The staff AGAIN went over the top to accommodate our needs and everyone remarked how comfortable their beds were and how nice the rooms were. BRAVO Railroad Inn! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cooperstwon.

I loved the Railroad Inn! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas! The walls were “thin” because you could hear everyone walking down the hallway and opening and closing of doors, And the street traffic outside was a little noisy. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too big, my head felt like it was way up high, just too firm, couldn’t get comfortable. Everything was very clean and well appointed.

Great Hotel!

A cozy wood cabin with a touch of modern. Check-in/Check-out process was a breeze, staff was nice and courteous. The room is spacious for the 3 of us including our 10yr old. We booked the queen size room, but they upgraded us to a king size room which was nice of them. You can't beat the location, it's perfect walking distance to Main Street. I can imagine this place getting booked up fast during baseball season. Overall was a perfect weekend getaway stay for a decent price. Would stay there again.
