The Inn at Cooperstown

We stayed two nights in early October. The Inn is very historic. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Rob was fantastic and full of excellent suggestions. The breakfast is incredibly good. Probably the best I have ever had at a B&B, in America or in Europe. The frittatas were amazing. But be forewarned though. It is a very old Inn. There is no elevator. If you are on the third floor, you will get a workout going up and down the steps. We needed the workout, so we were fine. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

Cooperstown trip was a success but the highlight of the trip was Cooperstown Inn . It felt like home . The amazing staff ( Rob & Luke ) . They really took care of us . I would definitely recommend this beautiful facility with very loving & gracious staff .

Great location with an easy walk to the Baseball Hall of Fame and Main Street, and nearby restaurants on the lake. Rooms are a bit small but with relatively large bathrooms. No elevator, but the staff will take heavy luggage up the stairs. Enhanced continental breakfast with a hot egg item, good fruit selection, and fresh breads. Ample parking in the back.

Room was nice and clean when we arrived. Receptionist was very helpful in acclimating to Cooperstown. Breakfast was fine including coffee, fruits, toast, kiche, muffins, tea, juices. Our room - 22 - had an issue with cold water in the sink. There was none and we advised the desk and in our review card. In addition it was very difficult showering. The shower head had to be maybe 7 feet high and we could not adjust. The shower head aimed directly in the middle of the shower floor so you could not avoid water to properly lather up. Very difficult showering in that room. It appeared to be a rather new bathroom so we could not understand how that was designed and built.

Well, it looks like it is time for a change. Due to new neighbors on both sides of the Inn, this may be our last visit to TIAC. It was memorable for all the wrong reasons. We've visited for 22 years now. We feel bad for the new owners because some of our review is out of their control. Foul language during the day and especially in the evenings made our relaxing on the porch almost impossible from the neighboring "apartments" that have been created over the past few years. (Not the apartments that were built). If we had been in the Luxury Suite we would have asked to change room to be put in the main house. The Suite is a pretty penny to stay in and we have booked it for three special visits but there would be no way I'd listen to all that noise, music and foul-language. Hotel common areas are looking rundown and one evening no front lights were on at all, not even the inside living room area. We had to use our phone light to see the entry to unlock the door @ 9pm. Not the welcoming we have ever encountered. Little details are nice and make a stay memorable; to see that the soaps were changed (at least for our room and stay) was a shock. When you spend over $300 a night, you would expect higher end soaps. Another detail that IAC had going for them was waking up to the fresh smell of the daily muffins. It sets you apart from other Inns. That is no longer a thing. Muffins were cold and mushy. They may seem like small details that some would ignore but when you expect something and it's been working this long. Why would you ever change it? We unfortunately will be looking to make a change in one of our favorite places to visit. Cooperstown will still be the same and we will just go on to make new memories at another Inn. It was a long fun ride. :-)

Staff were all friendly and helpful in providing information about the area. The room was adequate in size and bed was very comfortable. Continental breakfast was very nice - two different kinds of quiches were tasty. Location was the best. Easy walking distance to everything! Would stay there again.
