Beautiful location clean easy access to downtown Cooperstown food excellent in their restaurant
just very basic and small room
Had a very relaxing stay
Our stay at the Lake Front Hotel was great. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the location was a quick walk from shopping, dining, and the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Beautiful setting on the lake. Clean rooms are rather small but not in them much. Nice chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view. Restaurant had good food and drinks with nice staff. Walked around town and to the baseball hall of fame.
Quick and easy check in. Owner was very nice. Restaurant/bar attached with lake side seating. Will definitely stay again when we come back! Room was clean and spacious.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. The location is very convenient to the Hall of Fame and shops/restaurants. The area is beautiful and we would stay here again.
Very convenient to Main St Cooperstown; easily walkable.
Beautiful approach to and view of the lake.
Onsite restaurant is a perk - only had breakfast there once but it was good; dinnertime hours were usually crowded.
We had a great time at Lake Front. The area and property were beautiful. The staff at hotel and restaurant were great!!! The vouchers for meals at the onsite restaurant was a great touch. Also got a voucher for a boat ride that was delightful. Oh, didn’t mention how clean the room was and how comfortable our king sized bed was? It was!!

Checkin was seemless, James was welcoming and informative.
Location is excellent!
Loved our stay at the Lake Front Hotel. The boat tour on the Glimmerglass Queen is a must. The boat ride dock is right at the motel. Captain Paula does an awesome job. The hotel is walking distance to Baseball Hall of Fame and downtown.
This is an older motel that has been beautifully renovated. The rooms are small, as in older motels, but clean. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is decorative bedspread and pillows that I am not sure how often they are changed out.
The restaurant and bar on sight was wonderful. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there.
Would stay there again if in the area.
Very close to the baseball hall of fame. Friendly staff. The restaurant was good but it would have been nice the weren't blasting political talk on tv. Our room left a lot to be desired. No microwave, very thin walls (you can here your neighbors beside you and above you). They don't give you handsoap, you're expected to use shower gel to wash your hands. Not a big deal but at what they charge, I don't think its too much to ask to have a small microwave and some hand soap.
