A laid back atmosphere, that was clean, comfortable and very inviting. Austin is friendly and conscientious. He goes above and beyond for his guests. It’s a small place and easy for people to talk to one another. A nice vibe. We would definitely come back again if we’re in the area.

Excellent stay for a trip to Cooperstown.

Austin was very hands on. The place was super clean and everyone was very friendly. It was probably the easiest, most positive stay we've had at a hotel in years. Thanks for making our stay easy, Austin!
