The hotel is fairly new and has what we needed for our family.
The off-season price was right--under $100. It has an indoor pool which is not big nor fancy, but is clean. We requested a "Crayola" room which has bright colors and an easel for the kids. In room fridge and microwave are a plus.
The rooms are clean, although the staff neglected to clean the toilet, but with one phone call to the desk, it was immediately cleaned and then they "refreshed" the whole room.
Free breakfast is very basic (coffee, tea, milk, juices, cereal, toaster waffles, muffins, etc.) but satisfying if you don't need a big, hot meal.
Overall, a clean family place in the middle of farm country, just outside Cooperstown.

This place is a nightmare. Our room was given to someone else so we were were given keys to check out an alternate room. Problem was we walked in to an occupied room. When we finally got a room we had people enter or try to enter twice. The first time an elderly couple came waltzing in (with a key).
The second time we fortunately had the safety latch thrown so the intruder (again with a key) only opened the door a few inches (at 11 pm). This time I ran to the lobby immediately to report only to have the man at the desk tell me "oh..that was me,sorry".
We paid about $250/night to stay and the only compensation they gave was $50 off. We currently have an open "incident" with corporate hojo.
I don't make a habit of slamming businesses but this has been bugging me for a while. These people were not proffessional and were arrogant. They were very unorganized and seemed to adopt a bad attitude to cover for their lack of having a clue as to how to run a hotel.
There, I feel better now.

We wanted to visit Baseball Hall of Fame for few days with my school age kids. We were looking for a hotel in the area that had a swimming pool, which my kids seem to enjoy no matter else we do during a trip.

We did not find any inexpensive hotels in Cooperstown this time of year. We looked online at three hotels just outside of town (within 5 miles), including the Holiday Inn Express.

The HoJo one was new, had a pool, and received other good recommendations. Plus it has a basic breakfast included. We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and bright with Crayola theme. The breakfast was basically what expected with bagels, muffins, cerals, coffee. The pool area was fine, although it is smaller than would like when crowded. Service was friendly and lobby area is bright and comfortable for sitting.

Tip for Hall of Fame: If you're planning to go for at least two days to visit the Hall, I recommend purchasing a family membership before your trip online at [--]. We did this and we cut through the lines outside to get in, received special treatment inside and tickets to members only event, had discounts on purchases at store, and the total cost was about what it would have been if we just purchased two-day passes. Plus, your membership supports the Hall of Fame and its activities.

We stayed for one night. The hotel was very clean. When you walked into the room for the first time it actually smelled clean. The hotel is only a few miles from town. We parked and use the trolley service to go back and forth. Check in and Check out were quick and painless. Free Internet usage from your room. This is a family hotel, lots of baseball teams in town. There were some kids yelling and running around, but it did not last too long. I would recommend this hotel to any one visiting the area.
