Having stayed at the Lake Front as a child, I went back there with my son for partly nostalgic reasons. But having been back there for the first time in 20 years, I'm somewhat surprised by some of the negative reviews. I sometimes wonder if we, as Americans, are spoiled as it seems that anything less than 5-star amenities are... more

Yes, the view is incredible and it is very close to the heart of Cooperstown, and the young lady at the counter was very nice. At that point the positives end. The room we had was tiny. The bath room ridiculously small with just a shower that was so small I literally had to get out of the shower to... more

First, the pluses. The property is literally one block away from the Baseball Hall of Fame, Main St. and all the other glorious bits of Cooperstown. We were given the lake-view room we were promised, and the room was almost completely spotless. Now the semi-negatives. The decor of the motel as a whole is really dated. The nautical theme is... more

The view and location are great but the amenities and staff are well below average. The room is a nice size but the bathroom is unusually small. The surroundings are lovely but there is alot of noise. If you enjoy living in an RV than you might find this motel to be just fine otherwise you may want to check... more

The Lakefront Motel is a great place to stay if you want to visit Cooperstown, NY. The rooms are small,but comfortable. The rooms were very clean,bathroom included. It was the ideal place to be when visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame. You leave your car parked in the lot of the Motel and walk up the hill, 2 blocks. Very... more

My husband and I go to this Motel every year on our anniversary. It is very beautiful. It is not a "four star" luxury place; but it is in the center of town within walking distance to everything. They have a fabulous new boat tour The Glimmerglass Queen. For an hour you travel around Otsego Lake; it is mostly private... more

The Lake Front Motel was an average motel. The bathroom, though very clean, was insanely small: the sink was barely big enough for me to brush my teeth. The air conditioning was old. The pillows were tiny. There were no special amenities like a fridge. Wireless internet was available for $5/day through an outside source. Having said that, the motel... more

If your looking for a place to sleep and that is close to everything, the Lake Front is it. It's not elegant, but it is clean and 2 blocks from everything. You get what you pay for, and the view is awesome. Been going there for 15 years. more

We were in Cooperstown the week of Aug 1-5, 2005 for our 12-year old's baseball tournament. Positives: Rooms were very clean. Maid service is daily and very good. Motel is centrally located for the town of Cooperstown. Restaurant is good - in August, it was nice to sit outside and eat. It is an easy 2-block walk to the Hall... more

The Lake Front Motel is the perfect place to stay when visting Cooperstown. Bill, the former owner, and his family make you feel at home. The place is clean and within walking distance to everything. The restaurant is nice for breakfast and they also have one of the "hottest" girls in Cooperstown working there.(and maybe the only one). more
