Choosing a wonderful hotel when you’re visiting in Cooperstown isn’t often easy, simply because there’s so much choice! Sure, you can go for something out of the same Cooperstown guidebook which everybody and their cousin has used during the last several years, but that doesn’t suggest you will have a very high-quality experience (in actual fact, it’d almost guarantee a negative one!). As an alternative, it is a good plan to do a little bit of investigation, utilizing your close friend the Web. Locals will always be aware of the good places to stay in their own city, what the best hotel rooms are, and the perfect days to hit up their chosen parts of the city. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t go up to everyone you run into in the airport in Cooperstown, asking for their help and advice. So in lieu, we’ve made a quick list of our 3 preferred hotels in Cooperstown for you. They are the ones we would suggest to our family when they arrive to visit – but because we do not want you to think we’re only being biased, listed here are the ratings from Yelp.com:

Stayed here a few days to visit the baseball HoF and had a great time. Pool was smallish but adequate for the kids to take a dip. Breakfast was nice with sausage, eggs and self made waffles, fresh fruit and coffee/tee. Everything is clean and staff was polite and helpful. Well worth it, not the Ritz but more than nice enough for family.

Excellent, simply excellent.
Clean, convenient, quiet — perfect.
From the time I arrived until the time I left I was happy and satisfied.
The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The location is excellent. Breakfast was fine (nothing special) but the decor and ambiance is second to none.
I would return and highly recommend.

I’ve only been here for cocktails, but had such a lovely time. We were on the back porch overlooking the lake and sat in white rocking chairs while a late afternoon shower cooled down the air. It was a perfect way to end a beautiful day in upstate NY. I highly recommend ordering their margaritas…you won’t be disappointed!
