“WARNING - Do NOT stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is BY FAR the worst experience we have EVER had. Warning to all consumers - these people are unethical and immoral - they give you fake names such as John Smith - a new fake name every time you call! We had booked this hotel and then saw all of the negative reviews and called back 5 minutes later to cancel - we were told "not a problem" just go online and submit an email. There is no direct email system, only a form to submit through the website therefore no trail on our email. We were still told everything was all set - until we saw the FULL CHARGE on our credit card statement. We called, they said they had no record of ANY email. Then we were told we would hear back from their manager - Sandy Cohen - never heard anything. So, we disputed the charge on our credit card and received a letter back from Budget Inn's alleged attorney - Jeffery Tobin. However, when I checked the NY Bar, he is not a licensed attorney. I was prompted to check the NY Bar since the information we received from this FAKE attorney is grammatically disgusting and makes no sense - obvious this person would NEVER have made it into law school, let alone practice the NY Bar. I have tried to call and have never been able to reach the alleged manager, Sandy Cohen - or any manager for that matter! And no one ever seems to know when they'll be in. These people are fakes and the biggest scammers you will ever come across - DO NOT STAY HERE!

“Don't stay here”

this is an old 1950's motor court that has not been updated. The rooms are musty and the beds are extremely lumpy full size beds.
we only stayed here because there were no rooms in Cooperstown.

“Old, rundown, misleading photos”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for one night while we visited Cooperstown. What brought us here was the price--what prompted us to write this review was the condition of the rooms: not clean, broken window in bathroom, filthy blinds on windows, drab and dark condition of the room's furniture. We really hated to sleep in the bed, and probably should have left and found another place. Don't go there!

“Great Value and Service, Clean and Quaint- Great weekend!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

people found this review helpful

The motel is kept clean and is very quaint, just like the town its in. It is not modern(has wi-fi) but has been recently renovated. The service was very good and the management was very considerate, helpful, and knowledgeable of area. The rates were exceptionally good compared to what we found elsewhere, even with the other smaller places. The motel is in a central location to all attractions (college, howe cavern, cooperstown). Although it is approx a 20 min drive from cooperstown, the drive is easy and not that bad. Very glad we stayed. (Glad some of these reviews did'nt scare us away, I asked about the one, definately two sides to all.)

“Terrible Motel and Owner is not Trustworthy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010
4
people found this review helpful

We recently stayed at the Budget Inn in Sharon Springs for the baseball induction ceremony weekend. This would typically be a $40/night motel, but the owner, who lives above the check-in desk, quadrupled the rates for the weekend. Additionally, when I checked my credit card statement, he added an extra charge for $200, which I am having to dispute. He is not trustworthy. Additionally, the motel is pretty gross. I would advise that you avoid at all costs!!!
