The motel is cute and located in a good spot. Rooms were cute and vintage and check in was easy. Definitely glad we stayed here since free parking and so walkable to the town of Cooperstown. We would definitely stay here again and loved the covered outdoor patio on the 2nd floor where our room was, we were able to sit and eat dinner together. Last night some people were out there at 9pm and the walls aren't very sound proof but they were quiet by 10 so whatever. Old motel makes for thin walls so bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper. Great location! Great motel.

My wife an I needed a place to stay during our 3 day trip to Cooperstown last September. The…read moreGateway Inn caught my wife's attention and she booked a room for us. The owners were friendly and helpful. The owner gives his guests a choice of one of his watercolor paintings, they're copies, but a pleasant surprise none the less. The room was one of four in one of the buildings. Private entrance. The room had two beds, a queen and a twin. The rooms appoinents were cozy, the bath towels thick and fluffy though they could be bigger. My only compliant is that the fans in the bathroom are too loud. The fan on the room next to ours woke us up at 6AM. We would stay here again next time we visit the Baseball Hall of Fame I had contacted Eric (the owner) about the noisy fan and I think his reply to me is one more reason to stay there next we go back. You can read his reply here..... We are pleased that you found our inn to be 'Quaint, quiet and convenient' - all being qualities that we strive for. Sorry about the fan, a day before you posted your comment, the bearing burnt out - obviously the root of your early morning awakening. Rest assured, the problem has been resolved. It is also warming to know that you appreciated the complimentary matted watercolor print. A prior guest said that it was his best Cooperstown Souvenir. For us, it is merely one way that we show our clientele that we appreciate they selected Gateway Inn & Suites as their resting spot. Hope to see you in the future, Eric (the owner) Thanks Eric, you will when we go back for Pumpkinfest.

I was impressed by this place. It's very close to town but so much cheaper than other places! We…read morepaid $65 during the off season for a large room with two beds. The pet charge is $10 a night which is a little annoying (EVERY night?) but still nice to have an option for pets. There is a ton of outdoor space- gazebo, picnic tables, etc. Very family friendly. I love that it almost feels like a little cabin! I will definitely be back!

The Barnwell Inn checks off all the boxes you want in a B&B, or hotel, for that matter. The room -…read moreand bed - is comfortable. The room was serviced everyday, including new towels. There were a sufficient number of outlets for all the electronic charges, et cetera, the A/C worked fine, the TV had a digital cable package, it had a mini-fridge, and the bathroom was big enough to accommodate two people. The location was convenient - two blocks away from Main Street, so it was quiet, but only about an 8 minute walk into town, including the Hall of Fame (baseball, for all you coming to town for the opera). Three different churches are about five minutes away by walking, and there was sufficient parking at the Barnwell, even with a full house. Mark and Tara were outstanding hosts. Very personable, with good senses of humor. Attention to service was evident with all the "special" things done for breakfast for various guests (this reviewer included). Example: When the Keurig was broken a replacement was purchased within twelve hours. Yes, coffee is provided 24/7. Tara was an outstanding 'concierge' with recommendations of restaurants and the local area. Mark has an obvious passion for cooking, evidenced by the quality of the breakfasts (as well as the amount of food we had!). Anyone who will buy andouille sausage via mail order to ensure a good quality pays attention to the little details. Three days, three breakfasts, and nothing was repeated. Bottom Line: Whatever you expect out of a stay at a bed & breakfast will be exceeded at the Barnwell Inn.

After dragging my feet for years I finally gave in and traveled to Cooperstown to visit the…read moreBaseball Hall of Fame with my husband. I wasn't looking forward to the trip until I had my first contact, through Tara, with the Barnwell Inn. She and her husband Mark make you feel like welcome guests from your first inquiry about reservations until your final day at the Inn. They are a truly gracious couple! After we made reservations, Tara provided us with recommendations of things to do in the area as well as places for lunch and dinner. She also offered to make reservations for us. All of her suggestions were excellent. The Hall of Fame wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I didn't feel the need to visit for a second day. Tara recommended the Fennimore Art Museum, and I spent an enjoyable morning exploring there. The Inn is in a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, and is only a few blocks from the HOF, shops and restaurants. Cooperstown is a great town for walking. One of the best parts of staying at the Barnwell Inn is the breakfast. It is presented beautifully, and the food is out-of-this-world good! Our stay at the Barnwell Inn was one of the best lodging experiences we've ever had. I'm even looking forward to a return trip to Cooperstown! There appear to be other lovely inns and b&b's in Cooperstown, but there is no need to look beyond the Barnwell Inn.

But it's quaint without being manufactured, the proprietors are friendly and thoughtful, and the accommodations are generous. It's a pleasant walk down tree-lined streets to the Hall of Fame and the lake, and parking is free. We talked with folks staying at another local B&B that was much "fancier" and they had cold cereal and yogurt for breakfast, while we had fresh blueberry pancakes and French baked eggs . . . we were perfectly happy with our choice of where to stay in Cooperstown!

The house is extremely comfortable and the proprietors are the perfect amount of friendly and thoughtful. Location is perfect walking distance to all of the local attractions. The food is so good and we couldn't believe how many options there were! We stayed for a total of three breakfasts, and each day there was at least two or three options of savory and sweet breakfasts, in addition to fruit, oatmeal, yogurt and pastries. The owners also have a dog that they keep in their section of the house, but were nice enough to let us play with her when they found out we are dog people. Dakota was the icing on the cake to an already great stay.

We came to see the Hall of Fame and settled in here for two nights. If you're planning a trip, I…read morewould highly recommend you come here as well. It is a very nice place, but the breakfast is spectacular. They're open to letting you pick a meal, and I tried waffles, sausage, eggs, they give you a plate full of biscuits - my goodness, it's all delicious. One of the best breakfasts I've had in as long as I can remember. Even the coffee is delicious stuff. I have too much shame to gorge myself stupid in someone else's home, but I easily could have and secretly wish I would have. The owners are very accommodating, too. You're in their home, but they never make you feel like you're intruding on their space. That is a big plus. The problems with the place are beyond their control - there's nothing around, so once you come in for the night, you're pretty much stuck indoors. But that's a Cooperstown problem. There's just not much to do after 8. We even ventured around to find a nice place to eat, and it's shocking for a city guy like me to drive around such a rural area in the pitch darkness finding so little life around. Also, there's a fair amount of bugs, but I guess that's what you get when you're in the mountains. We weren't bothered by it. Pro tip: GPSes of all kinds have no idea how to get here. Yelp and google maps were confused. Google maps asked if we meant County Hwy 33 W - that is not the right one. Check out all the options the GPS gives you - Willow Tree is about 10 miles north of the Hall of Fame.

We booked March, right after the B&B opened. I had never stayed and a Bed and Breakfast. My…read moregirlfriend loves them, so I was apprehensively excited. The house was still under some renovations, and we were okay with that. We stayed in Room 1, and it was a pretty big room. The house was very comfortable and open, with a great deck and view out the back. John and Kim (and Emily) couldn't have been nicer. Breakfast is more than complete daily, and they'll make you whatever you want for dinner (salmon, steak, fried chicken, veggies). Only down part is there are a ton of ladybugs on the mountain, and without screens on all of the windows, they tend to get into the house. Otherwise, it was a really nice experience.
