We didn't see the reviews until it was too late, so we simply hoped for the best. Honestly - it could have been much worse. Our room had no mold, no critters, and the bed was clean and very comfortable. Downsides: As others have mentioned, the parking lot is really not well maintained, lights don't seem to be turned on automatically at night, and the rooms are not maintained as well. Examples: The bath water was filled with what we *hoped* was glitter. The faucet handles on the bathtub leaked. The wallpaper was peeling - and also applied around the bathtub, which was clearly not a good place for wallpaper 😂. Lights were dim in the hallways. That said: Everything worked and was comfortable. You could definitely do worse. Clearly, this hotel used to be something once. I hope it will be again.

Excellent. Super comfy beds & pillows, spacious. Amazing location - walk out 2nd floor to main street, lots of parking in rear by front door (signage lacking a little). Very clean, staff perfect, nice breakfast on weekends, decent continental weekdays. across from Foothills Performing Arts. Wonderful little areas for computer work. Indoor pool (but spa was inop). Rooms a little dated, but any negatives reviews are truly unwarranted. This will be my go to hotel in Oneonta when balancing price point. (note restaurant no longer operating).

Perfect for travelers! Don’t let the price fool you, this is a great place to stop: clean and large rooms, instant hot water in sink and shower, breakfast is limited as hotel is slow right now, but adequate, staff is friendly! I didn’t use but looked at: fitness room has stair step, bike, weight machine, treadmill; self service paid laundry room, business center. Walk out back from the second floor to charming downtown - fabulous pizza at Tinos is right there, as well as sushi place, and several others. Right off the highway and perfect for a quick stop.

The parking lot felt safe. There is a small liquor store, barely a 50 yard walk from the front entrance of the hotel, which was very convenient. The hotel is right in the middle of the downtown Main Street so there is access to quite a few coffee shops. Nothing gourmet in the town, but I would recommend Wise guy Sammy‘s

Relaxing and Easy

Hotel was quiet, room was clean and tidy. No fireplace, but there was a mini fridge hidden away in one of the cabinets, as well as a microwave on the desk. The hotel’s right around the corner from the center of Main Street, so there’s plenty of shops and eateries to walk through. All in all, a pretty good experience for my first solo trip.
