Clean and quaint motor inn.

We only stayed overnight and departed before the chickens arose the next day, but the property was clean and pleasant. The lakeside view was beautiful.

Peaceful and cute

Super cute and peaceful location! I have never stayed in a motor Lodge before, and the convenience of having your car directly outside the room is insanely nice. I can see why it was such a popular design. The room was a bit dated, but very well kept, and the mattress older but not uncomfortable. The lodge has a small private beach a short walk down the hill, and you can borrow their kayaks for free!

This was a gem of a place to find. It was small and lovely. The room felt like a cabin on the lake. The walk to the lake was easy and the lakefront area was perfect. The staff was lovely and so helpful and kind.

Whitney

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was polite. However, the room smelled of old age and mildew and had a continous damp feeling. Also, the showrr was so small that it was impossible to feel entirely clean. No refunds unless canceled 10 days prior, so with no other availability in the area (Cooperstown tournament time), we were stuck. Would not recommend.

Cozy in Cooperstown

Our room was very comfortable and clean. Double beds were great for both of us. Water in shower became increasingly hot, and that was somewhat concerning. Hostess was friendly and thorough at check-in. Will definitely return here in future trips to this area!

Peaceful Stay by the Lake

This modest motel lived up to expectations for a short stay while in Cooperstown. The room was clean and contained a small refrigerator and microwave. The property is well maintained and the view of Lake Otsego is picturesque. The property has an outdoor grill and ice machine, and just a short drive into the Village of Cooperstown provides access to restaurants and retail shopping. I would stay there again when visiting Cooperstown.

Unexpected ammenities

The room was much better than we anticipated because it had both a refrigorator and a microwave. These were not included in the discription. The room was not ready when we arrived because we arrived earlier than normal check-in time but the staff check us in anyway and let us stow our stuff in the room. When we returned for the evening the room was immaculate and just the right temperature.

Staff was friendly. Property was well maintained. The only issue was the size of the shower. It’s just as small as the reviews say. It was hard for my husband to fit in the shower and he’s only 5’11.

We stayed at the Lake N Pines Motel. I couldn't say enough about the scenery! It's absolutely beautiful! The set up of the property is unique in a good way. The motel has separate sections which affords for some nice privacy. We had a second floor room with a private balcony overlooking the water. My favorite part was the gorgeous sunrise! The staff and people there are so friendly! I think I've found my favorite spot. A very nice place to relax.

My only complaint is the property is a little rural and set back from the main areas of Cooperstown. The result is horrible cell service but the WiFi is great so just connect your phone to that!
