The Lake Front - Hartwick Seminary

Nice place to stay but low rating , as massively !!!over priced for what it is basic motel

Excellent little hotel in the heart of Cooperstown. Within walkable distance to the HOF.Walkability: Close to downtown.Food drinks: Restaurant on site

Not enough parking. Ice machine broken.Very expensive for basic accommodation but it was high season. They will wake you up at 815 with a leaf blower. In July. Not leaf season. There were no leaves to blow.It 's loud. Kids clomping up the metal outside stairwell or banging on their own door with no care for others, slamming doors, etc. Lots of baseball kids in town for tournaments and it sounded like they were playing a game right next door.You do get 1 free boat ride and 1 $5 meal discount per person per night. So our family of 4 stayed 2 nights we got 8 coupons for our $650. Just one boat ride not 4 or 8 though. I go to use 5 of them, our relative joined us for dinner the first night, and the waitress takes 20 not 25 off the bill. We say what 's up, and she shows me 4 coupons. I know I handed her a stack of 5 but trusted her not to screw up by accident or screw us over on purpose. Next time, show them how many you are handing them, count them in front of the server. 5 dollar lesson learned. I get back to the room and yup, there are 3 not 4 coupons left. Food was okay, you 're overpaying for the location and view but this left a sour taste.325 a night with tax for a motel (I think they changed their name at some point to hotel but it is a motel) and they have to screw us over like that for 5 extra bucks?Same owners of motel and restaurant I think.I will add a star because the towels provided were some of the nicest ones I 've ever had. A strange thing to ace but they did.Just admire the pictures of the lake and the orange roofs of the hotel and thank me if you didn 't stay here.Rooms: Great towels, seemed clean, AC worked okay, small TV, fridge froze everything on a medium setting and there 's no microwave. Bathroom was redone but no shelf at the pedestal sink and hair dryer very old.Walkability: Walk to the Hall of Fame

Older, family owned, clean.Gal at front desk had an attitude, think she judges before meeting you???The Scenic Cruise on Lake was really interesting and nice. The bartender on board was full of knowledge about the history of Lake and surrounding banks. Water was a beautiful aqua green, gorgeous!!! Restaurant served great food, service was a little slooow.?No microwave in room asked the “gal” at front desk if she would pop it for me…..big mistake burnt it, smelled horrible could not enjoy it with a little down time. She made her point! Walking distance to town , good restaurants and CoopersTown. If I were to visit again I would stay downtown quaint and friendly people. No such thing as a true water view or balcony to speak of, js

Clean, bright, comfortable! Comfortable stay. Chairs to sit outside, plus chairs by the boats. Excellent food choices for all three meals. Easy walk to baseball Hall of Fame or around the town. We will return.
