The convenience from the area...
Liked: It was very convenient coming to and from Cooperstown - All Star Village. Hotel being situated on Main Street was also a plus.
Disliked: To point out the obvious, the hotel needs a lot of upgrading or a total renovation. From very thin bath towels, outdated carpets, cracked bathroom sinks and questionable bed covers are only a few that needs to be addressed.

Hotel is old, needs updates....
Liked: Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Central to All-Star Village and restaurants.
Disliked: The hotel is old, wall paper was peeling off the walls in the rooms. The room smelled like mildewed carpet.

Passable
Liked: The location was perfect, there were tons to do nearby. Our family traveled from TX to participate in Cooperstown 2025. The breakfast cook (male) was awesome. He was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The hotel is extremely outdated. There is a bad odor, especially in the rooms. The beds are not queen size as listed, the carpet is old and the restroom smells moldy. The restroom fan did not work, so the walls and ceiling stayed wet from condensation. The parking lot is very dark. I did not feel safe walking outside alone, it could definitely use some additional lighting.

Very good
Liked: You know. When it was the Clarion and when we packed it up as an alumni of Oneonta state. Fraternities and sororities causing problems. You know they put up with us. The vibe was so much different but things change. Was still clean enough, room 418 has a wall plastic corner that needs mending. Was like that when I got there I should have said something.
Disliked: All good. Close to my destination, but Oh-please yes --fix that parking lot!!!!

Very uncomfortable because it was...
Liked: It was available when most other hotels were sold out. Now I see why. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly but the clerk at the front desk said no smoking - then promptly and walked right out the front door and lit a cigarette.
Disliked: Old, not clean, in disrepair, smelly, sheets torn, shower didn’t drain, towel from previous guest was left in the bathroom. Yuck!

Great location
Liked: The property is in a great location. We loved how you could go out back and be right in the center of town. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. The staff was very kind and accomodating.
Disliked: The property smelled old and musty. It is in desperate need of a remodel. I liked that they provided a complimentary breakfast but it was very limited…the waffle mix didn’t last through the group. We had to go next door for breakfast. It has great potential, it just needs some updates. It was a little pricey so I was expecting a little more. The restaurant has been closed since Covid and the pool is closed.

Served its purpose.
Liked: Conveniently located for our purposes, brief interactions with staff were positive, and breakfast was one of the better ones all around.
Disliked: It was busier than expected, although that's not bad for business, it's only bad when travelling with little ones and you have drunks having loud conversations in the hallway past Midnight. There was mold in the bathrooms!!!
