Checkin was simple, I received my keycards and proceeded to my room. The property not only is in good condition, yet was festively decorated for the harvest season. This did not strike me as a “regular motel,” but felt like it was someone’s home. Parking was ample, maybe a little tight for big cars and trucks. My motel room was clean and cozy, decor-wise straddled modern and vintage. The bathroom was a little cramped, though I am 6’2” and everything was updated and clean. The coffee machine in the room was Keurig-based, not sure if that’s standard, yet it helped to make no-fuss coffee. The pool looked in great form, though may as well have been closed for the season. (PS, I met Jake the Cat!) Per location, there was supposedly pizza nearby, yet was closed during my weekday visit. A convenience store was cattycorner to it, and had ample stock.

Charming little spot on the way to Cooperstown
This is a charming, well-kept little motel in a tiny quaint town. My son and I were on a baseball trip and looking for an inexpensive place to stay on our drive from NYC to Cooperstown. This was perfect. Room was old-fashioned, but in a charming way. Everything was clean, and the owner Josh was very hospitable. Would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.
