We stayed here for one night on a Saturday. We can't really say much about it other than the room were clean & friendly staff. It's definitely great for the price we paid. You can walk across to enjoy the lake. Highly recommended if you are planning to stay in the area.

The only day the toilet worked was the first. Noticed loud gurgling when we woke up the second morning. When we used the toilet it immediately overflowed. Spent 10 minutes plunging it and then reported it to management. They said they fix it but we had the same experience the third morning. Thankfully we were leaving. The mattresses were uncomfortable and the blankets looked like something I just found in the way back of in my 91 year old mother's linen closet. The only positive was the great view of the lake. The room was clean but the carpets stained.

This place is a treasure! It's nice and neat and well maintained. We had a fantastic room that over looked the lake. There is a lake front dock for the guests use with free use of the paddle boats. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! We're coming back next week! Can't wait.

This was a fabulous little place about 6 miles north of Cooperstown. We arrived around 5pm and the check in was pretty easy. Our room was clean, cozy and comfortable.
It was a great evening so we walked across the street and enjoyed the beach on the lake. We were able to cool off by wading in the water and the took out a paddle boat.
The next day we were able to drive just 3 miles then take the trolley into town to see the Hall of Fame.
The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. We had a couple of needs (extra towels, etc) and they were prompt to offer assistance.
I will definitely head back to this place when we go to the Hall of Fame again!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Courty C.Old Orchard Beach, ME6919188May 29, 2014
Affordable accommodations within 15 minutes of Cooperstown and 20 minutes of brewery Ommegang. We will definitely return when in the area.
Upon arrival we were immediately in awe of the beautiful lake view. Not only is there a view with Adirondack chairs from the motel side, but across the street are two docks for guest use. Three well kept paddle boats are up for grabs to any guest. There are lounge chairs a plenty, a spot for fishing, and a few entry point if you want to take a swim.
A close second to the location is the staff. Everyone was professional and friendly, from the front desk to the maintenance. It was their top priority to make every guest feel at home.
The room was clean though a little cramped and damp. There is a calming brook on the backside of the rooms that lulled me to sleep every night ( not that I needed it - most relaxing trip in recent memory). Mini fridge in room, cable tv, reasonably comfortable beds.
There is coffee in your room or the lounge. Breakfast in town is a bit of a wait, but we found a gem convenience store up the road (mt Wellington) and took their breakfast sandwiches to "our dock" at the Lake View.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Dave S.Bainbridge Island, WA6125212Sep 7, 2017
This was a quick stay for us as we stopped at the Hall of Fame before driving to Boston. We got in after hours but our key was still ready for us. The room was nice enough and the place was very quiet, which was nice. We got up very, very early to start our drive but the sun was just coming up. Looks like they have a deck on the lake where you can sit and watch the sunrise/sunset. Looks like a pretty good place to spend some time during the summer.

This place was awesome. The view was awesome. The price was awesome. The people working there were awesome.
Its a short drive to Main St. Thats a big plus. The woman working the front desk was quick to offer us maps and places to go for dinner. She was very friendly.
Rooms are small, but that didnt bother me too much. Very clean.
Cell signal was very very weak, but they had Wifi there which helped out a lot.
No doubt I'll be returning if I go back to NYHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Charlie V.Williamsburg - North Side, Brooklyn, NY76811Sep 5, 2012
I'm so glad I chose to stay here! It's about 7 miles from Main St. I'll definitely come back to stay here next time I'm up.
The staff was helpful providing maps and information. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. I really enjoyed the cable TV that I'm not used to having - we were mostly very excited that they had AMC so we could watch Breaking Bad.
The motel has a deck/dock area on the lake & it was so nice to sit outside and look at the scenery. I wish I could have stayed longer to utilize the swimming/fishing area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nathan H.Cooperstown, NY192Aug 5, 2017
We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom cabins with a kitchen. Owners need to do some updating/painting/fixing since several of the blinds were broken and the curtains dirty and gross. Beds were small and the bed spreads looked like they had not been washed in a long time. If they painted it would freshen up the space. Did look like the upper kitchen cabinets and the fridge were new so that's a start.
Did have Great Lake access along with peddle boats to use. The swim area had large water grass growing in the area so not friendly to swim out to the floating swim pad.
Not sure about the individual rooms since I never set foot in one. Staff was nice and helpful.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
