No-frills hotel
Funky old place, but clean and pretty quiet. Mostly a no-frills place, but location is good to Cooperstown and Glimmerglass. TV is all streamed, so the wi-fi was great.

Attractive old Adirondack building, but the rooms are small for the price, and they don’t serve breakfast. Very convenient for the Glimmerglass festival.

Horrible. Worse than you would ever think.
I have stayed in hundreds of hotels in my life including some very sketchy ones. This was the absolute worse one I’ve seen in my life. It was filthy and it was like going upstairs to the attic in an old house. We did not stay. I’m shocked that hotels.com lets this stay on their platform. If this was built to be a hotel, it was one built decades ago and never updated. I would like someone from hotels.com to contact me. I have pictures of the room I took before we left. The bathroom was like a utility closet. The windows look like they hadn’t been cleaned in years. (Even though this was the ground floor.). I know this was not refundable but this was a complete rip off.

NOT A HALL OF FAME EXPERIENCE
This was not HOTEL EXPERIENCE. It was like a B&B (Vrbo) without the Breakfast. More like a summer camp or hostel experience. There was NEVER NEVER ANYONE AT THE FRONT DESK. TO CHECK IN, I had to call a number and someone told me the key was on a hook beside the door- NOT HOTEL LIKE. The room was like a dormitory or summer camp room. It was just 3 queen beds stuffed into a small hotel sized room, no place to sit except on the beds or small desk with a chair. The bathroom was small with a small shower without a shower head. In addition, the “hotel” pictures on Hotel.com show a Lake Front area, therefore I was misled into thinking it was on a LAKE. Which it isn’t on or near a lake. There was supposed to be a restaurant and there was a menu on the front desk. However, the restaurant was never open and no staff ever seen. Because of all these experiences, ITherefore, I would like to have all my money refunded. If this situation is not rectified to my satisfaction I will assume that Hotels.com endorses this type of business practices. Therefore, I will not use Hotels.com again.

Property extremely run down. Rooms are very tiny and bed sheets and pillows look like they’ve been used for decades. Not close to anything and nothing related to baseball at all. We ended up leaving and booking a different hotel.

Pretty disappointed.
Feeling pretty disappointed having spent over $250 a night for the hall of fame weekend. The tv didn’t work, the room was very tight and hard to comfortably set up in, and there was never anyone around to ask for information about town or anything. The hotel is clearly very old, which could have some charm to it but it also smelled very old and musty. We are not picky about places we have stayed (both have lived in tents in the military), but this stay just wasn’t very comfortable at all.

Needs some work
Place still smelled musty. Based on locals site used to be a nursing home. Even though it is called Baseball Hotel I only saw 4 of someone’s junior trophies. Window air conditioner was too loud. Rattled whenever it kick on. It was also only 1 ft from the bed blew right on it.

This review is for mothers and families..... I'm a mom with a dog and we travel a lot! This hotel has SO much history! You can feel it when you walk in the door! I could picture Oleson's mercantile and ladies in dresses. Don't expect a resort or the Holiday Inn. The air conditioner was LOUD but we needed it! The hard wood floors are beautiful! Our queen room only had room for my husband and I and the big dog. There is NOT room for a portable crib! It's tight, but again, nice. There is NO breakfast, but there is coffee. Ask for extra towels early. You may need an extra pillow too. Bring toiletries. The towels are perfect. Yes the key is hanging on the wall, but don't freak out. Even though the front door of the hotel is unlocked, the town is SO quiet. We never really saw anyone. There is a huge refrigerator. No freezer. No ice machine. The dining room is huge. Buy take out and eat in the dining room. A baseball team could rent out the place and easily eat meals in the dining room. It took us 25 minutes to get to Cooperstown. There appears to be another part of the hotel behind it, but we were in the main building. We would definitely stay here again. They let the dog stay. That is a huge plus for us! Roku TV that certainly met our needs for a few nights. The price was right too!
