The Holiday Inn was a fine place to stay. The price was moderate, the staff was very friendly and the room was clean and confortable.

Holiday Inn Cooperstown was recommended by a Cooperstown resident as a good, clean place to stay for an overnight stop. She was right ! The staff was attentive, the room was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was excellent. When we continued our trip, we ate breakfast out and later remarked that having a nice continental breakfast was a big saving and got us on the road that much quicker. The ladies/staff that put the breakfast together were so nice. They took the time to visit with those patrons who wanted to chat, but did not interrupt if it seemed you wanted to be left alone. We got some tips on the local scene and driving directions.

We walked to the nearby grocery store to get things we forgot. There were a few stores within walking distance and a fast food place. There were a lot of families staying here and they all seemed quite happy and were having fun. It is a few miles from Cooperstown so you cannot walk to the hall of fame, but we were happy to drive the few miles to town and thought the location might be quieter than an in-town motel anyway.

With a government discount applied, the price for two Queen beds in a nice, clean and comfortable room came to $70 per night. Friendly staff, fairly convenient location to all attractions in Cooperstown proper (about a five minute drive to HOF) made staying here quite worthwhile.

We had a chance to check out the exterior of some of the lodging in and around Cooperstown, and maybe it's because it is not "high season" yet (this is April), but some of the properties--especially lakeside, are showing their age. Not their "character", but their age ;-(

Note to families coming to Cooperstown this time of year: Lots of attractions are NOT yet opened, so aside from the HOF and some good eating places (TJ's, Danny's), there is NOT that much to do in this neck of the woods.

I checked the prior reiews on tripadvisor.com and was happy I did. An excellent hotel if you are visiting Cooperstown. Very nice and attententive staff. Clean and well-decorated rooms. Our king had a sleeper sofa as well. Plenty of cable stations, large fluffy towels (unusual) and a comfortable bed. Breakfast buffet that will please is free as well. Finally, they had two computers on hand to surf the net. Highly recommended.
