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.
