Our weekend at the Otesaga was a bit on the disappointing side, from the viewpoint of value for the dollar, as well as some service issues. The property's lakeside location was stunning, as well as convenient to downtown Cooperstown, if you are interested in baseball. (We were there for a soccer tournament.) It's really the only place to stay in... more

We just came back from the Otesaga (stayed June 16th) as a Father's Day present for my husband. What a relaxing place! We arrived early, they checked us in, and gave us a room upgrade (2 bedroom). We have 3 children and the additional space was nice. The service was terrific and everyone was so pleasant. We did not select... more

We spent four days in May 2007 at the Otesaga Resort as part of a group of vintage car drivers. The Otesaga is in a wonderful setting at the south end of Otsego Lake. The rooms are comfortable though not huge. The bed was very good and excellent toiletries were provided. The staff was unfailingly courteous and helpful. Unfortunately we... more

My wife, son, and I arrived in Cooperstown, N.Y. on 5/24/07 with no advance reservations. We stopped at the Information Center in town and they called the 3 Hotels that we had brochures for. After being quoted a rate of $219 per night for a 2 bedroom suite, we visited the hotel and could not have been happier. We stayed... more

My family and I visited the Otesaga in Novemebr for three nights. The room was beautiful with gorgeous lake views. The hotel has tons of oldworld charm in it archetecture and furnishings. And being in cooperstown with the Baseball Hall of Fame is a blast. But, unfortunately the staff and management of the hotel are not customer focused. We have... more

My husband and I try to stay at the Otesaga once a year. We have come to know the delightful staff, especially Josie in the dining room. The service is superb, the dining room spectacular and the property amazingly beautiful. The rooms are spacious and ever so comfortable with all amenties. Try to book one facing the gorgeous lake on... more

My Husband and I came here for the Labor Day weekend (I am here as I write this). We booked the room through the Chamber of Commerce,and they said they had a standard room available the first night, but an upgraded room with lake views would be available the second night. After we got our stuff packed to go to... more

We loved the hotel. Found the rooms to be charming. We especially enjoyed the club in the evening for dancing. I recommend the hotel. My only issues are relatively minor, but worth noting. The "gameroom" was actually a room in the basement with electronic type games. I expected a room where we could play backgammon, cards, checkers. That was disappointing.... more

We (a family of 4) stayed in a "family suite" with the breakast and dinner option over 4th of July weekend as part of a small family reunion. None of us was thrilled with the experience versus the expense. As per an earlier review, the location on the lake is beautiful and the proximity to downtown is very convenient. It... more
