Lake 'N Pines Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Older place that is immaculate and well kept up to date."

Super 8 by Wyndham Johnstown/Gloversville

8/10 Good

"Limited continental breakfast"

Super 8 by Wyndham Cobleskill NY

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. First floor hallway was pretty dirty from so many pets. First floor back door constantly slammed all night because the damper on the door was not adjusted properly or repaired as needed."

Grand Slam - Lake House Cooperstown Dreams Park

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional! ! The house and property were even more stunning than photos on line . The first floor kitchen, dining and living spaces were perfect for our family of 15. We've never had a Vrbo with more fine touches - quality extra blankets , kitchen/ cabinets full of cooking basics and everything you could need . Communications with Jeffrey were fabulous - quick responses throughout the process both pre and during stay . Host was flexible and accommodating with some of our "asks". Kids loved the game room. The firepit / lawn overlooking the lake was the perfect gathering place for our multi generational family. Only wish it were warmer to take advantage of the dock, paddle boards etc ! Wonderful all around !!."

Holiday Inn Johnstown-Gloversville by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a nice restaurant, bar area and outside firepit area. Everything seemed clean and neat. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that I booked a room with two double beds via Expedia and received a confirmation back that the room had two double beds. When I called the hotel, however, they said there were no rooms with two double beds and instead the room had one double bed and pull-out couch with could serve as another bed if needed. I said that is not what I booked and they told me that it was a problem with Expedia and not the hotel itself."

Haslett House

10/10 Excellent

"We were so impressed by Paul and his kindness and his skills. His breakfasts were beyond delicious and left us full for the better part of the day. The house is gorgeous and the history makes it that more amazing. I know as Paul gets more and more of the renovations done the house will simply be awe inspiring. We couldn't have had a better “first” Bed and Breakfast experience. We recommend this place 100%."

Countryside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, comfortable beds. Clean, Nice manager.. Would recommend."

Travelers Inn

8/10 Good

"Interior and exterior needs updating."

KC's Corner Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice clean and comfortable room. The Beekman toiletries were a nice touch. The only issue is the electrical outlet in the bathroom was too far away from the mirror over the sink. This was the only mirror in the room so I couldn’t use hair dryer or curling iron. The room use another mirror somewhere near an electrical outlet. As a side note, the electrical outlet in the bathroom didn’t work at all anyway."
