I stayed here after visiting Cooperstown for the Glimmerglass Opera Festival. I'm a swimmer so I loved the outdoor pool! The continental breakfast was standard fare like coffee, oatmeal, yogurt muffins, hard boiled eggs. It's not fancy but did the trick to get us on the road. There is a Denny's across the parking lot if you want a hot breakfast. This is one of the nicest budget hotels I've stayed in and I'd definitely return.

I just spend a long weekend at the wonderful Portobello Inn. My bedroom, the Small room, was…read moreextremely comfortable with a comfortable Queen size bed, very efficient air conditioning, and a bathroom/shower with plentiful warm water. Each morning's amazing breakfast was exceptional and my hosts Roland/Steve were very accommodating, If I was ever hungry, it would have been my own fault, but each morning's breakfast got me started in fine fashion! One morning my hosts allowed my sister to enjoy the breakfast with me, even though she was not a guest. The Inn is an oasis from the busy world and while I was staying there it allowed me to finish one book, and take in all the ambiance of a richly appointed Inn. The Portobello is ideally situated so that I could easily get to Utica, Herkimer, and the wonderful Little Falls Canal Days celebration during my stay, Driving a car is a delight in the Mohawk Valley! Just an ideal place to stay full of peace, quiet, and friendly conversation. Thanks Roland and Steve!

Title: $175 for 2 Hours?…read more Diamond member -- 75 nights this year. Asked for a 2 PM checkout because we had a hockey game later in the day and didn't want to be stuck outside with our things. Hotel only offered noon or $175 to stay until 2:30. Nice property otherwise, but that policy is unreasonable. A couple extra hours for a loyal guest shouldn't cost almost two hundred dollars.

When I first opened the door I was impressed by the size of the room, huge is all I can say. The bed was warm and cozy, buy was I tired after a long day. The suite consisted of a living room, bed room and bathroom. Even the bathroom was huge. In the morning I was greeted by a beautiful picturesque view of the falls. The Inn also provided a Continental Breakfast, and the best thing ever for a morning, a Kureg coffee maker with a selection of various coffees. The host was amazing, showing us the rooms and describing anything we might need to know. The place is Amazing and I suggest a stay when ever you're in the area. Sorry, some of the photos are blurry because I had a screen on the window. I forgot to mention that the bathroom had a Jacuzzi.

Centrally located to Cooperstown and Erie Canal. The B&B was better than I had imagined it to be. The historical structure holds an interesting past and has been newly renovated inside and out. VERY clean inside and out. The cook to order breakfasts were second to none. Loved being able to visit with Brick!! Jason went above and beyond with arranging a pastor to perform our renewal and arrange for a wonderful dinner at Beardsley Castle (a must see).

After a warm shower, I had a delicious dinner of Baked Haddock, Creamy Risotto, Broccoli with Garlic Butter Sauce. Southern Tier IPA, a warm bread roll & butter. Caley was my server, a very lovely young lady. On my second visit after the opera, the warm bread & butter, a glass of Riesling to start great with the Brussels Sprouts were very good. The NY Strip Steak is delicious, the French Fries crispy and hot. Key Lime Pie finished the meal. Two things that needed attention. I asked for A1 sauce (it came from the fridge ice-cold) on a nice hot steak, not ideal. Also, the steak was a bit overcooked. To me, that is better than not enough. The table across me asked for Medium-Rare, and those steaks looked pretty much overcooked. Aja was my server, another lovely young woman. Both were friendly and attentive. The staff is young and eclectic, friendly and attentive. These are young people earning a living in a poverty-stricken part of NY. The restaurant views of the lake are great.

I've stayed in a LOT of hotels and for one at a modest price, Inn Towne Motel can't be beat.

If you're a conspiracy theorist, you'll love the wifi so weak that you can't connect to it with anything - laptop or phone. But if you're a weary traveler looking for an inexpensive place to have a hot shower and sleep for the night, you'll want something more name-brand. Trust me. The extra $10 you save by staying here is NOT WORTH IT. Not even for the free nightmares and hair left behind by the cleaning staff. Just driving up to this place gave me the urge to Yelp it, and that desire only got stronger the longer I stayed, which ended up not being very long because the smoke smell of the (non-smoking) room and the overdry air from the non self-regulating heater had me completely dried out within hours, the bed was scratchy, and I had the distinct feeling that the man in the room next to ours who bragged that he lives in this place for weeks at a time was hard at work packaging for transport either stolen goods or a body. Not interested in my belongings or my person being added to his inventory, I left six hours after I arrived, turning in my key to a silent, surly woman on my way out. Don't let this hotel happen to you. Go anywhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE. You won't regret it.

Utica Hampton Inn has lost that loving feeling…read more The Good: There was plenty of parking. There were enough towels in the room for a family of four. The Bad: We checked in on a Friday between 5-6 and the staff was not welcoming. They were just "going through the motions" and there was no joy in their work. When we made our way to the room, it was obviously well used and not as clean as we are used to when staying at a Hampton Inn. The carpet was "tired" and looked like it could use a good cleaning. There were smudges on the mirrors, paint peeling from the ceiling in the shower, and a giant cobweb hanging down over the sink in the bathroom. The ugly: Two of the bed pillows (out of 8) where very well loved and did not have any life/support left in them so we called the front desk to get them replaced. The agent we spoke with stated that they do not deliver to the room so we needed to come to the front desk to get replacement pillows. So when I took the pillows to the front desk, I genuinely felt that I was inconveniencing the staff. When I described why I was turning the pillows in, I watched as the staff member that I handed the pillows to openly mocked me as she described my concerns to a fellow staff member. When in Utica, I would avoid this location.
