A satisfying stay

it was an old hotel and the likes we have never stayed in because of its age. But it had a unique charm to it, The room was fine and the beds comfortable. The hotels in the Cooperstown area are priced very high this time of year and staying here saved us money and gave us what we needed, It was also nearby for any places we wanted to go to, We would stay here again.

After a long drive we were able to relax at a Hotel that was able to accommodate our dog. The property was immaculately clean and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Very reasonable priced especially with a pet. Everything was as expected and would definitely stay here again.

The room is exceptionally clean and smells fresh and the fire in the fireplace was setting a glow off in the whole dining room. Everything was very walkable to all that is in Richfield Springs. Hotel is centrally located and located close by multiple cut shops, good food and a beautiful park, Definitely recommend.

We were pleased with the hotel room, only a short distance to Cooperstown. The room was very comfortable and clean. The woman who checked us in carried all our luggage to our room without hesitation. The room was a little small but very cozy. Plenty of towels and blankets provided and the bathroom was very clean. We were very comfortable and they had everything we needed. 5 stars all the way.

I know the local area well and this hotel is the most reasonably priced in this area. Very clean and the staff is exceptional. Our bags were carried to our room without asking for help. They accept pets which is hard to find. There is a large dining room that can be used for meetings or banquets. Highly recommend.

The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, They recommended some excellent dining options that turned out to be fabulous. Center of town was only one block away. We had to call front desk since the tv was so new we had no idea how to operate it. They came in a minute and spent a good half hour teaching us how to operate it. We had a nice room with no complaints!!

Only 20 minutes to the Baseball Hall of Fame with one red light. Mattress and box spring have been updated and provided an excellent nights sleep. We had a pet and could not beat the price and found this hotel on our way to Cooperstown. We did have to change the batteries on the remote but they had them available. This was a great find in a quiet area, very nice staff and close to stores, restaurants and points of interest. Thank you for all the memories!

We were booked to stay at the baseball hotel and the place changed the location of our stay to some Lakeside Lodge. What a dump. Never again. My grandson would not sleep in his bed because there were spiders in it. When we arrived around 7:30 pm no one was there our key was hanging in the door to the room. How sketchy is that! If it wasn’t already 7:30 I would have driven around to find a different place. Not worth the money I spent that’s for sure

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and more spacious than I had expected. Modern/updated bathroom amenities (toilet, sink, shower) and television (with hulu/netflix/etc). Front desk is virtual so the only employees I saw were the cleaning staff on Sat/Sun morning. Rooms don't have central heating, so I wish I had known that portable room heaters would be on a first-come, first-served basis huddled around the (empty) front desk. By the time I got back each night, they were out of heaters so I had no idea that was even an option until the morning I checked out. The hotel is next to a church so there is a large parking lot across the street that hotel guests also used as overflow. The living, dining, and sitting rooms were straight out of a winter hallmark movie. Very darling and cozy environment. Tired Tired Sea coded, iykyk. The scenery is BEAUTIFUL. Really enjoyed staying here and would gladly stay here again. Just a small tip for the town itself: the McDonalds in town couldn't handle more than two orders at a time; took me 25 minutes to get my order in drive-thru when I was the third car in line. No other national chains available.

I was in need of a pet friendly accommodation as a stop over on a business trip to Buffalo, NY from Connecticut. I was actually given a room at their lakefront hotel as I was the only guest registered at the Baseball hotel for the evening. Not at all a problem for me. The hotel is older but has a charming, rustic quality to it. The staff at both the hotel and the restaurant were great. I will definitely be returning.
