Lake View Motel

Second time staying here and in love this place. The location is really what sells it for me. You get to wake up every day of your stay and catch the sunrise on the lake from the Adirondack chairs or the loungers on the dock. Just a supremely beautiful spot. But to make things even better they are so reasonably priced. Why stay in the price gouged chain hotels outside of Cooperstown when you can stay here? Inside the rooms are cozy. Big fridge for bringing back local wine and beer and I love their shower. Only drawback for me is the stiff bed but I have yet to wake up hurting so there’s that. Overall awesomr location for the best price and their complimentary coffee is actually delicious.

Reasonable rates. Very clean. Friendly staff. Nice dock area across the street. Great view of the lake. 6 miles from downtown. Only maybe complaint would be might be time for some new mattresses.

Great place for families and friends. Wonderful hospitality. Close to Cooperstown trolley. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff knowledgeable and most helpful.

We loved the view of the lake and sitting out on the dock reading. We had 2 queens which I maybe accidentally requested but there was only 2 of us so not necessary but I didn’t find a need to complain so we kept it. Very friendly staff, would love to go back when the weather is warm and jump in the water!

The location is great, the rooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen at a hotel and the price was affordable. Easily the best accommodations I’ve had while visiting the HOF area. The front desk staff is very friendly and you can tell they care about their guests and their property.
The lake front area is nice, as well. There’s Adirondack chairs to relax on as well as a dock and deck area. Fishing poles are provided as well as paddle boats. You also get a local paper each day. Easy drive into the trolley parking area or downtown if you want to park there.
We will definitely stay there again!

Affordable accommodations within 15 minutes of Cooperstown and 20 minutes of brewery Ommegang. We will definitely return when in the area.
Upon arrival we were immediately in awe of the beautiful lake view. Not only is there a view with Adirondack chairs from the motel side, but across the street are two docks for guest use. Three well kept paddle boats are up for grabs to any guest. There are lounge chairs a plenty, a spot for fishing, and a few entry point if you want to take a swim.
A close second to the location is the staff. Everyone was professional and friendly, from the front desk to the maintenance. It was their top priority to make every guest feel at home.
The room was clean though a little cramped and damp. There is a calming brook on the backside of the rooms that lulled me to sleep every night (not that I needed it — most relaxing trip in recent memory). Mini fridge in room, cable tv, reasonably comfortable beds.
There is coffee in your room or the lounge. Breakfast in town is a bit of a wait, but we found a gem convenience store up the road (mt Wellington) and took their breakfast sandwiches to «our dock» at the Lake View.

We only stayed here one night and it was after tourist season so it wasn’t busy at all. The staff in the office were so nice and excited when we showed up to check in. They really made us felt welcome. The price was great and the rooms were very clean, though outdated. But still comfortable. The view of the lake it spectacular. And not a very far drive from the center of town. If I ever make it back to Cooperstown I’ll definitely stay here.

My friends and I wanted to come take a day trip to Cooperstown (for baseball hall of fame and Ommegang Brewery). We got there really late at night and left the next morning (from the motel that is) so we didn’t need a crazy fancy bed and breakfast to stay at. We booked the room 2 weeks before heading up there and EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was booked up. Except for Lakeview Motel. That had me feeling a little skeptical. But it was the only thing available, so we took it. Honestly, it was perfect. After we left we said we will stay there again the next time we return to Cooperstown (if that ever happens). The people working there were super nice. It is a great location to Main Street (where Baseball hall of fame is). Only a few minutes down the road. There is a beautiful lake across the street that we only got to look at for a few minutes since we were on a timed schedule, but there is a separate area with chairs and whatnot specifically designated for the motel. It looks as if they have paddle boats and kayaks also that you can use in the lake through the motel. Definitely recommend this place!

I wish I could say more than the other reviewers. The room was clean and comfortable but a little on the small side. The parking was great. Literally less than 20 feet from your bed. The rooms have a fridge and microwave too. It would be a great place to stay if you were traveling with a large group and booked several rooms next to each other. They even have chairs outside your door so you can hang out like you were on your front porch. The rates were very reasonable for the area.

This place was awesome. The view was awesome. The price was awesome. The people working there were awesome.
Its a short drive to Main St. Thats a big plus. The woman working the front desk was quick to offer us maps and places to go for dinner. She was very friendly.
Rooms are small, but that didnt bother me too much. Very clean.
Cell signal was very very weak, but they had Wifi there which helped out a lot.
No doubt I’ll be returning if I go back to NY

I’m so glad I chose to stay here! It’s about 7 miles from Main St. I’ll definitely come back to stay here next time I’m up.
The staff was helpful providing maps and information. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. I really enjoyed the cable TV that I’m not used to having — we were mostly very excited that they had AMC so we could watch Breaking Bad.
The motel has a deck/​dock area on the lake & it was so nice to sit outside and look at the scenery. I wish I could have stayed longer to utilize the swimming/​fishing area.
