Lake View Motel

The rooms are a bit old and dated, but don’t let that stop you. We stayed one night and wished we booked for longer. All the staff members were overly helpful, friendly and funny. The location was amazing. Getting to swim in the lake and watch the sunset and sunrise from the Adirondack chairs… cannot wait to go back.

We love this place!! We come up to Cooperstown every year and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very friendly. The view of the lake is amazing.

Another visit, another cottage. This one on the main road. Probably would not take it during high season. A cool old 2 bedroom cottage. Photos included. A very nice view of the lake and just across the street to where you can swim. (This next part of the review is prior, been here a few times).Review from current visit at the end. We just spent 2 nights at the lake view in a deluxe room in the building up on the hill (photo and photo of the view toward the lake). We have been here before and the stay was not great. We had issues with the room. This time everything was great. There was no problem with the room and we enjoyed the stay. The staff was kind, friendly, and very helpful. The room was clean and it's location on the property was very good. My wife loves to swim and enjoyed getting in a super clean Otsego lake. Because we we on the hill, the walk down to the lake was a little bit. We were there to enjoy a production at Glimmerglass. We attend almost every year. Sometimes we do not stay overnight. But I prefer to stay 2 nights. We can also visit the Fenimore and take our time. We shall return but I think we will take a cottage next time. They seem very nice and they definitely have a lot of room. We also lucked out on the weather. Thanks again to the staff. We returned after the baseball hysteria ended for the year. It did not turn out the way I thought it would . I came for a little peace . One family, with many kids, can ruin it. I do understand that the baseball hall is nearby. I like it here, but!!!!

First time here but hopefully not the last. After driving thru hours of traffic all I wanted to do was to relax. The water and the view was great. While the room was old it was still really nice. Price was really good. The front desk clerk (sorry I forgot his name) was very patient as I asked my numerous questions. Thank you!!!

Everything about this place was good. The view of the lake from our room very beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Cooperstown area. We will stay here again if we ever back up their way

This is a privately owned vintage motor inn type hotel that will make you feel like you stepped into the 1960’s. We had a GE clock radio, mismatched furniture, a GE window air conditioner that looked like it was updated in 1972, a loose faucet, a deadbolt that didn’t fit the strike plate, linoleum floors in the bath, rock parking lot and noisy kids next door - all minor issues that are easily overlooked. We embraced the nostalgic charm and loved every moment of our stay at Lake View. The service was impeccable, the room was clean and comfortable and the lake views and location were perfect. 10 minute drive to the HOF. We would definitely stay again.

My husband and I came for the weekend for my class reunion from CCS. Thank for the most restful weekend with the most attentive staff and manager. We look for to coming next September and staying in the most adorable cabin again. Thank you, Elizabeth and Scott

This is a cute motel with beautiful lake views. We stayed in both a cottage and regular room. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There are beautiful flower planters throughout the property that I really appreciated. And there are many adirondack chairs and picnic tables to sit on outside to enjoy the view. The rooms are pretty outdated though. I think switching out the bedspreads for plain white covers would really update the room and make it look more fresh. Although the rooms are outdated everything is clean and works well.
