The staff is nice, the location is pretty accessible (it's just down the road from the Walmart), and it's pretty easy to get on to 88. One time I was here, I swear the heat was turned off in the lobby. It felt like it was literally 12 degrees. Not sure what happened that day. Anyway, they have breakfast service which is always really well maintained. The prices can really fluctuate depending on whether or not the Cooperstown Hall of Fame games are going on or if it's Parents' Week for the SUNY colleges. The spikes happen all the time; it's kind of crazy. Other than that, it's a solid hotel. Very consistent experience.

Do not fear. This is a good motel unless you're really fussy. It's a bit of a throwback if you're…read moreover 50. Remember when you drove long-distance on vacation with your parents in a station wagon and would need a motel along the way? You rarely reserved in advance and there were relatively few chains besides Holiday Inn and Best Western. Everyone carried AE Travelers Cheques. That illuminated "Vacancy" sign from the highway let you know there was a room to be had for weary travelers. Well, this is it. I wanted a hotel about an hour south of Utica for a particular night to avoid too much driving the next morning. Sidney/Bainbridge was exactly the spot on my route. I'd booked it over the Super 8 on the highway based on reviews and not wanting to detour all the way to Oneonta since my reason was to save time the next morning. I arrived at 10:30pm, as planned. You call a number from the office and the owner/family/staff "come down" and check you in. They actually live there--great safety feature for a female traveling alone. My room was clean and very comfortable, if spare and exactly as advertised. Great value too. It did not smell musty. Bath amenities and towels were nice quality. It had a microwave and refrigerator and flat-screen TV, but sadly no coffee maker or even a glass or ceramic coffee mug to heat water (I'd brought a tea bag...), sigh. I'm quite sure they'd have accommodated a request, but I wasn't going to ask at 10:45pm. I will confirm some other reviews: it does seem to cater to people who work on the road and get up early. I suspect some are regulars M-Thurs. There appeared to be a communal space with a gas grill outside (great for group travelers or work teams). I did hear the person in the room above me--not loud or annoying, but it might be for someone not used to apartment living. A freight train came by at 6:30am (I'd gotten up at 6, so no big deal). There are no late night dining options, but there are some gas station/markets to procure something if you need and didn't bring. Early the next morning I awoke to some bird song. The Susquehanna River is literally just behind the motel (well down hill--no flood worries and the river was in flood-emergency when I was there). The delightful surprise was the cute coffee and breakfast/lunch options in Bainbridge, which I definitely recommend. If you're early enough in the evening, there are plenty of dinner options. Because of the proximity to parks and natural areas, this would be a fantastic vacation motel for several days or even a week on a limited budget. Suggestions for improvement: coffee mugs and coffee maker in the room and a black-out curtain for the front window. I turned out the porch light in front of my door, but the light from the neighboring door was on all night and illuminated my room from the gaps in the shade. I forgot an eye mask, not that it should be needed.

There's a courtyard bistro on site where one can purchase breakfast etc. One morning I ordered the bistro egg sandwich and I don't think that I'd order it again.

There were a couple of issues with water going down the drain slow in the sink and tub, but nothing major. For the 2 nights we were there, it was fine. The wedding was also at Fred's so it was super convenient. The food and the service at the wedding were very good. The staff did a great job of making it a fun time. If you happen to be in this area of upstate NY and you need a clean, safe place to stay, Fred's Inn would be a good choice.

The kids loved the pancake maker. They had Egg omelets and various types of sausages which were great. In addition, they had muffins, bagels, a variety of cereals, juices yogurts and other snacks. So much better than the continental breakfasts that the other places put out. They redid the pool area recently and it's so much brighter than it was last time we stayed. The chlorine levels were a little high but at least we knew the pool was sanitized. We are so looking forward to coming back. Thanks for the impeccable service!!!
