“Nice hotel, but.....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is impressive. Nice lobby, nice rooms, nice looking. The service? Not so nice. Both of the front desk people were either disinterested or downright rude. Example, my kids and I were in the pool and there were no towels in the pool area. Dripping wet, I went to the front desk to request towels. Deskguy said he'd get right on it. 20 minutes later we just walked up to our rooms dripping wet as no towels had yet appeared.

There was no continental breakfast, but if you wanted to eat at the overpriced hotel restaurant they would give you a discount at one meal. No wi-fi. Even Motel 6 gives away free wi-fi now a days.

The rooms were nice though. Spacious, clean, and comfortable. During the vast majority of our trip, we had great luck at Choice Hotels and we booked this one, even though it was more expensive than most, to stay in a choice hotel. We should have saved our money.

Background: My family (two adults, three kids 12, 7 & 7) drove cross country for 45 days. We stayed in over 30 motels and had dozens of meals at local restaurants. These reviews were written a month after we returned because I wanted to be able to think about them before writing. I hope you find this review helpful. I have to tell you that we relied heavily on them when making our choices and we were not disappointed

“Nice Hotel & People - Price and Location Leave Something to Be Desired”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The room was nice and clean and the hotel staff was friendly. However, that area of downtown Oneonta is pretty depressing making the price out of this world.

Although I love baseball, we were not there for one of the many summer tournaments run nearby. They are clearly taking advantage of the fact that there are very few places to stay with the room rates. The hotel probably has a package deal with the tournament directors to keep prices lower for families who go there.

Be advised that the restaurant has not alcohol for some reason. Not a deal breaker for me and he family but we saw a couple groups come the restaurant and leave because of it. Food was good - menu choices just average.

“Expensive but decent hotel for sure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

Reserved a 2 double/no smoking/larger room. The room was sure enough really big with plenty of space. Rooms had microwave/fridge and a nice desk area to hook up a lap-top. TV was kind of old but had a good picture and plenty of channels. Very clean. Close to downtown Oneonta - just a short walk away from many of the town's shops and restaurants. Beds were extremely comfortable. No free breakfast is a con - but there's a Dunkin right down the street just outside of town. Overall, we enjoyed our two night stay here.

“Not accomodating”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

This hotel refused to substitute a one bedroom room for a two bedroom room, even though they had one vacant. They wanted a $50.00 surcharge. The staff is very inflexible and unaccomodating. Manager Chris Shields refused to help even though this is the fourth summer we have stayed there.

“Perfect for All Star Village familes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2010

We recently stayed here while our son was playing at All Star Village. The location is perfect, about 5 minutes from the fields. Its in the "downtown area" where you can find place to eat, and some stores. On Sunday and Monday it was absolutely dead downtown, and not alot was open. The hotel was clean, and was peaceful. I never heard any noise from other rooms. There is a business center with 2 computers that are free to use. There is also a washer and dryer, small indoor pool, and a small workout room. We had the breakfast buffet, it was $9.95 per person, and they give you a 15% off coupon to use when you check in. The buffet was very good. We also got dinner room service one night off their menu, very reasonable prices, and that was good also. The room we were in was on the 5th floor and it was big, with a small refrigerator and huge jetted bath tub. Housekeeping came every day. We had a nice stay here and would recommend.
