The Holiday Inn Express was a great family hotel with decent rates. We stayed here Nov. 8-10, 2007 and had a Jr. Suite. With two teenage sons, the suite turned out to be a good size. It was also nice to have a couch and three chairs in which to sit rather than just having a couple beds. It was very clean and quiet.

The continental breakfast was good and there were some choices between sweets, cereals, hard boiled eggs, toast, fruit and yogurt. The room the breakfast was in was all glass on one side and had a large fireplace with seating. It was a nice way to start the day. There was an indoor pool on the lower level which my husband and kids enjoyed.

I only had two minor issues with the hotel. First, the shower curtain rod was pulling away from the walls so the shower curtain wouldn't stay shut on either end. The other was that there was a strong chlorine smell in the hallways from the pool, even on the second floor (although it could not be smelled while in the room). All in all I would definately stay if we decide to return to Cooperstown in the future.

Room was average size and beds were fairly comfortable.
Microwave did not work. Hallways were always dirty even right after housekeeping had been through. Breakfast room did not have enough seating. Food area was small and people were bumping into each other, and this was not the height of tourist season. They told us the hotel was 3-1/2 years old, but it seemed to have more "mileage" than that.

We stayed at the Cooperstown Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights in late September - early October, in a junior suite sort of room (separate sitting area, table and 2 chairs, small refrigerator and microwave). The room was clean enough and appeared to have been refurbished not too long ago. The positioning of the single TV meant that you could not watch it from the sitting area, which never makes sense to me. I used the laundry room, which was adequate, but not the pool. The standard Holiday Inn Express breakfast, which I do not think it up to the standards of its competition, was crowded so I cannot imagine what it would be like in season. We wound up taking food back to the room one morning. There is no wireless Internet access, but you can borrow a cable from the front desk for wired access if you make a deposit. There was a mistake on our bill which the front desk person was unable to fix but promised would be fixed after our departure.

Newer hotel...about 4 miles from the HOF museum. Clean, larger rooms...very comfortable bedding...large bath with great shower...typical morning fare for breakfast.(incl with room price) Within a mile of restaurants, gas, etc. Nice views all around. Friendly, helpful front desk staff. Hotel was about 85% full; yet quiet. I would definitely stay there again.
