motel no longer open

arrived to check in on July 25, 2025 and found motel closed and out of business. no one contacted me from Hotels.com or Motel 6 in Llion, NY to inform me that the hotel closed since I booked it in December 2024. Had to make other arrangements since it was the baseball hall of fame weekend and no other hotels were available. stayed one hour and a half from Cooperstown, NY.

Very friendly staff. Room was very clean & comfortable. Bathroom was in need of an update, but mostly worked well. Lots of hot water! Toilet was very slow to flush. AC was ancient & took forever to cool the room, but kept it cool once it was at desired temperature.

Obviously the price was right. Room was clean, but no pillow cases on the pillows. Staff was slow in responding to our call. Needed fresh towels but no one at the desk our whole second night there or the next morning. Overall I grade our stay a “C”.

Did not stay

The place was scary. It was dirty, the guy was not in the lobby when we arrived and was unable to check us in when he did get there. We left and found another place to stay. I want a refund.

Horrible. Someone had left over ice cream in the freezer that was never cleaned out. The room was not worth 110 dollars for the night. I have stayed in red roof inn that was much cleaner and accommodating. Front door desk lady was courteous and helpful. But the building was run down, old, and I even cleaned all of my clothes and my luggage because I was worried of bed bugs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It smelled of cigarettes.There were bugs (spiders, and beatles?) in the room. There was hair on the pillows and sheets which means they werent washed. It was cold in the room and we shivering all night. The towels had black marks on them. The walls were dripping with yellow/brown... something. And it had an overall vibe of homicide and human trafficking. But the guy at the front desk seemed nice even though it took several attempts to get his attention. 2/10 would only recomend to my enemies.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room had hardwood floors that needed to be cleaned. Microwave was small fridge still had a soda in it from a previous guest. Toilet and tub were discolored. Every time the door opened full veiw was grated to outsiders. Was awkward when my partner came back from a coffee run and i was undressesed at the sink and mirror which were not inside the bathroom but just outside the door. Room seemed to be recently painted, within the last year, a spider was painted into the door. Other than the cleanliness of the room, the biggest issue came as we returned from a day back to get ready to go out to dinner and the water in the faucet was running an orange rust brown color which did clear up by the time we came back from dinner.

Scary & aband

DO NOT STAY HERE. This is not a real hotel. It’s a run-down shell of a place in a scary part of town. It was totally deserted (one ONE car in the parking lot), had notices from the city in the front door about illegal long term rentals, smelled of cigarettes and pee and appeared to not even be a working hotel. Totally abandoned, not a soul in sight. A hand written cardboard note in the lobby said “close”. Some of the rooms appeared to be where squatters were living. A scary experience. DO NOT GO HERE.

Arrived only to learn that the property was CONDEMNED back in April! (Ever try to book a last minute 3-night stay anywhere within an hour of Cooperstown on Hall of Fame weekend? There is a reason I booked 6 months in advance, and even then it was slim pickings!) Perhaps some day we’ll look back on this and laugh, but today is not that day.

Replacement hotel

This was a replacement night for a hotel I had booked 8 months ago. When we arrived there, it was boarded up and out of business since April(3 months ago). Took an hour for Hotels.com to find a room. Hotel was pretty dated and rundown. Room was ok.
