Excellent all the way around. Three of us stayed in the suite with the extra loft space. It was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Decent Hotel
There are no food options close by but there are some restaurants about a 10 minute walk. Parking is free but it is a gravel lot. The room and bathroom were clean but average. Surprisingly we had no closet but an odd contraption made of metal pipes and 4x4 timbers, with a couple of hangers. Complimentary breakfast was prepackaged pastries, coffee, juice and water. This hotel was an average hotel with a boutique hotel price tag. It was a decent stay but not for the price.

Perfect spot to stay!
The rooms are very modern and clean. Location is perfect, walking distance to Main St. and all of downtown as well as the HOF Museum. Nice lobby amenities for snacks and breakfast. The lady at the front desk was very kind, super friendly and did her best to figure out our Roku TV that we couldn’t get to connect to any live shows for news or sports. The Roku channels were just replaying outdated repeats of prior broadcasts. Other than that, highly recommend to stay here.

Pleasantly Surprised
I typically stick with name brand hotels but the reviews were good and the location was perfect so I decided to take a chance on a two night stay. I was not disappointed as the staff was friendly and helpful and the accommodations comfortable. It has a bit of a B&B feel as I made some new friends during breakfast. If you are planning a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame I’d highly recommend the Railroad Inn

Last minute decision to stay in Cooperstown on a beautiful fall day. Found this place and couldn’t have been happier with the accommodations and rate.
