We had a really nice room with a new fire[lace set up for gas heat. Location was perfect and easy to find, many attractions in town with a beautiful park in the center. The manager was very friendly and helpful, carried our bags and gave us directions to the restraints, The beds were comfortable and every thing was really clean. .

Nice, clean hotel. Beds were newer with nice sheets and blankets. Room was very clean. Hotel itself is old from the mid 1800s, so if you do not like that sort of accommodations try another place. Quick and professional check-in. Reasonable priced room .

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.

Even though it’s called The Baseball Hotel it does not have ANYTHING related to baseball. Has a musty smell and everyone has to share a single fridge from the 1950s.

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!

Nice stay but no one there to check us in

We came up stopping on our way to visit our daughter. We booked on line, but when we arrived, there wasn't anybody there to check us in. Another group was there with the same problem. We eventually contacted the management was was at a wedding and walked us through what rooms we'd be in etc. Also, the TV set up was less than ideal as it was hard to get service and couldn't get normal channels like ESPN.

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

Bad publicity for Cooperstown Baseball

Never stay at this hotel, unless you are desperate. The room was tiny, no light in the bathroom that I could find a switch for. The tv wouldn't work for me. After spending less than 1/2 hour in the room, I was summoned to fly to Georgia due to a death in the family. Since I had a reservation for three nights guaranteed, I offered to pay for the first night and requested a full refund for the remaining nights. My request was denied by a gentleman I thought to be the owner. He told me it would be impossible to re-rent the room. Hard to believe since I was the only guest staying there. For me, I will just accept this as poor judgment on my part for making a hotel reservation site unseen.

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!

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.
