The Tunnicliff Inn - Cooperstown

Rooms: 3 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel Highlights: Excellent value

Every meal featured chicken tenders, which felt a bit repetitive. While I understand it's a tourist town, I believe the food shouldn't compromise on quality, even after the busy season ends.

This building dates back to 1802, which is definitely impressive, but having a slanted floor and a bed where the head is 3-4 inches lower than the feet is not. There is no elevator available, and they do not offer assistance with luggage. Additionally, there was rarely anyone at the front desk; you have to call the manager (or owner?) for help. The room and bathroom were clean, but the windows only had mini-blinds, so there were no blackout curtains. There is a restaurant in the basement that serves good food for lunch and dinner. The best aspect of this place is its location — it’s within walking distance of the Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as various restaurants and shops. There are 17 rooms in the hotel, but only 9 parking spaces, so if you manage to get one, it's best not to move your car to avoid losing it. I wouldn’t stay here again because of the lack of an elevator.

First and foremost, you can't beat the location. It's perfect. Near food, shopping, and the hall of fame. And it has parking. So all of that is great. But on the flipside the hotel isn't great. A bit rundown, right on the line between quaint and off-putting. Not dirty but not clean either. For the price I don't know that you can do a lot better in the area but I personally wouldn't stay there again unless I didn't have any other options at least until they do some renovations.

$170 for a room that hasn’t been updated since at least the late 1990’s? You’re staying here for one reason: the hall of fame is a block away. But for what I paid for one night, there are several things that need to be addressed by management: If you’re going to put the cheapest cable possible in the rooms, the least you could do is update the television to a modern smart TV. Everybody has something on their phone they could stream to a modern television. Streaming will be impossible however since the WiFi at the inn is useless beyond the lobby. An old air conditioner in the knee-high window at the foot of my bed that could not be adjusted from blowing in my face all night. I cannot comment on the food since we chose to eat dinner at the nearby Lake Front Hotel for dinner. That was very good. As for coffee and breakfast: the Stagecoach Cafe across the street was excellent, which is good since the Tunnicliff doesn’t have so much as as Keurig in the lobby. It’s too overpriced for the bare bones amenities provided. It’s a lovely enough old house, but a little more money put into the rooms and amenities would make the asking price at the Tunnicliff Inn perfectly acceptable. Rooms: Old, out of date. Needs a smart tv and better WiFi. For parents of little kids, bring some dvd’s. My room had a little dvd player in it.
