The Tunnicliff Inn - Cooperstown

First and foremost, you can't beat the location. It's perfect. Near food, shopping, and the hall of fame. And it has parking. So all of that is great. But on the flipside the hotel isn't great. A bit rundown, right on the line between quaint and off-putting. Not dirty but not clean either. For the price I don't know that you can do a lot better in the area but I personally wouldn't stay there again unless I didn't have any other options at least until they do some renovations.

$170 for a room that hasn’t been updated since at least the late 1990’s? You’re staying here for one reason: the hall of fame is a block away. But for what I paid for one night, there are several things that need to be addressed by management: If you’re going to put the cheapest cable possible in the rooms, the least you could do is update the television to a modern smart TV. Everybody has something on their phone they could stream to a modern television. Streaming will be impossible however since the WiFi at the inn is useless beyond the lobby. An old air conditioner in the knee-high window at the foot of my bed that could not be adjusted from blowing in my face all night. I cannot comment on the food since we chose to eat dinner at the nearby Lake Front Hotel for dinner. That was very good. As for coffee and breakfast: the Stagecoach Cafe across the street was excellent, which is good since the Tunnicliff doesn’t have so much as as Keurig in the lobby. It’s too overpriced for the bare bones amenities provided. It’s a lovely enough old house, but a little more money put into the rooms and amenities would make the asking price at the Tunnicliff Inn perfectly acceptable. Rooms: Old, out of date. Needs a smart tv and better WiFi. For parents of little kids, bring some dvd’s. My room had a little dvd player in it.

Delicious, fluffy gluten free buns are available for the sandwiches! The lemon herb stir fry is also gluten free but I only had room for one meal and it was fantastic! We definitely didn't go away hungry! Our waitress was attentive and friendly, the food was delicious, and the chef cooked all my food separately to make sure there was no chance of cross contamination. We're definitely eating here again next time we're in Cooperstown! Nearby activities: National Baseball Hall of Fame, Farmer's Museum and Market, Fenimore Museum, shops, bakeries, etc. Safety: The restaurant is downstairs and the staff great when cooking for those with food allergies! Food drinks: Gluten free options are available! They have fluffy, tasty sandwich buns instead of those heavy ones that taste funny. Large portions for a reasonable price.

Restaurant is a joke. Way too expensive for the quality and amount of food. Ordered $20 burgers and they wanted to charge extra for lettuce, onions, and tomatoes— really??? Fries were trash and almost non-existent. Service was slow too. Sat for 20 minutes before even taking our order. I cannot speak to the hotel but stay the heck away from the restaurant for sure!!!

Overall, it was a great place. Only negative was the showers were small, which at the me of the day was not s huge deal. The rooms were clean and the beds were fantastic. I would recommend anytime, walking distance to everything, and overall a great experience. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 5
