The only hotel available during SUNY weekend. $159. Tiny room with dirty toilet, flies (had to buy a fly-swatter), electrical sockets that were loose. What a dump.

Dark and a little creepy but not filthy. We had to stay here as a last resort when dropping off daughter at college. Also highway robbery at $150 per night. Make reservations early for popular weekends in Oneonta!

Christophers Lodge is a HORRIBLE place to stay!!!! It was filthy, it had bugs, cobwebs in the corners, the bathrooms had mildew, the tubs didn't drain, the linens were dirty, and stained, the mattresses were nothing more that a padded boxspring. We were forced to stay along with other families due to our sons playing in a Baseball tournament @ Cooperstown Allstar Village, which owns Christophers Lodge. Every other hotel was booked so we toughed it out. Management did not make any concessions, and still have not returned numerous phone calls. My advice - STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

We stayed at Christopher's Lodge because our son was playing in a baseball tournament at nearby All Star Village (which I believe is owned by the same people who own Christophers). The families of our whole team stayed here at the recommendation of a group of families who came last year to the same tournament. Let's just say we won't be recommending it to the team that comes to Cooperstown next year.

The place reminded me of the Disney Country Bears movie . . .meant to look very rustic and lodge-looking. At first blush, it's quaint and you think it will be just fine. And for one night, that may be true . . . but for seven nights it was not exactly the best place. It's very musty - went to store for Febreeze to spray the room daily. The rooms do have a refrigerator, which was great since we were there for a week, but otherwise are pretty tight - especially if you have more than two people staying in the room. Rooms seemed damp the whole time we were there. Bathroom is tiny, and the water pressure is temperamental - hot and cold in the shower changes with the flushing of a toilet or the turning on of the sink faucet. Plumbing similarly temperamental. Some in our group had to request plungers and draino at various times during our stay because the water pressure wasn't sufficient for the toilets. Also, one in our party didn't show up until 11:00 pm on the night they were checking in the place was locked up - they spent the night in their car because no one would answer the phone (the hotel check in is the same as the hostess desk at the restaurant; when the restaurant closed, all went home; they don't have a night shift like a typical hotel).

On the positive side, it's very convenient to the All Star Village for quick trips back and forth. The restaurant really had great food. Also, there are little deck-like areas outside the rooms which made a nice place for the parents to get together in the evening. However, if a team stays there, I would ask the lodge to put you all together. We angered a few rooms of guests who were not part of our team with our outdoor get togethers - they were staying in the midst of our group and were just totally outnumbered. Also, everyone working there is very friendly.

All in all, it wasn't the worst experience ever, but perhaps more lower end than we had expected. If you are staying there because of the baseball tournaments, it will work, but keep your expectations at a pretty basic level. We felt we paid a premium coming as a team - I think you can walk up and get a better price!
