This hotel was one of the worst.  The outside was not kept and the building behind it looks like it is condemned.  No one was at the front desk.  You call a number and they tell you to go to a room and the key is on a hook outside.  The hallway is cramped, with a runner that isn't secure and bunches up as you walk and roll your suitcase down the hallway.  The addition of the church pews makes it unnecessarily crowded.  Who's sitting in the hallway having conversations?  The hotel also smells of must and mildew because it is not well ventilated.  The room had two double beds and no room to walk around, let alone put your suitcases. the air conditioner blows directly on one of the bed.  Bathroom is not well lit and you can't see what you're doing over the sink.  The television was attached to a Roku, with no instructions and no way to make it work and no one to ask.  The morning coffee was undrinkable, with the taste of old boiled coffee. This place is an utter disaster and absolutely not worth the price we paid.

Equally frustrating is that my comments are not new.  These comments, and ones like them, have been made for well over a year. Unfortunately, my husband made the reservations without reading reviews, and I read them after the fact, much to our detriment.  The owner "thanks" the person for their comments and how they can make improvements to the hotel.  Yet, they do nothing to fix them.  Nothing!

Keep Driving

The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, They recommended some excellent dining options that turned out to be fabulous. Center of town was only one block away. We had to call front desk since the tv was so new we had no idea how to operate it. They came in a minute and spent a good half hour teaching us how to operate it. We had a nice room with no complaints!!

Excellent location for Restaurants within a block away

Hotel is in the middle of multiple attractions, baseball in Cooperstown and Hockey in Utica. We came for the Hockey at the new Nexus center in downtown Utica. Each time We stayed here we had a well kept room with great service. Our room was very spacious and perfectly cleaned. The room rate is far below the rates in Utica and much larger rooms. We had a great experience.

Great location for Hockey games in Utica

Only 20 minutes to the Baseball Hall of Fame with one red light. Mattress and box spring have been updated and provided an excellent nights sleep. We had a pet and could not beat the price and found this hotel on our way to Cooperstown. We did have to change the batteries on the remote but they had them available. This was a great find in a quiet area, very nice staff and close to stores, restaurants and points of interest. Thank you for all the memories!

Great stay in the winter, many fond memories

The lake was frozen enough for ice fishermen to be all over the lake, a beautiful site.
Our room had very fast internet for streaming after we got used to all the TV features. Rooms have been gone over with new mattress and box springs and were very comfortable. In the morning our car would not start and the manager use his car to jump our battery so we could be on our way. We came away with fond memories and will be back.

Many fond memories at the Lake House

The Baseball Hotel is a very old small lodging that has fallen on hard times.  The same can be said for Richfield Springs.  The only really positive thing to say about the hotel is that it is an easy 15 mile drive to Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Note: despite the name, there are not a baseball-related theme to the hotel.  There is free parking and free Wi-fi, but no device charging outlets in the room.  The beds were firm, but the sheets look like they were bought at a second-hand store.


An old rundown property in an old rundown town

Avoid this establishment at all costs: The musty smell was overpowering almost before entering the building, which is a ramshackle house featuring a bizarre layout, rooms made out of hallways and stairwell, and cheap sheets covering shattered windows.

We were already concerned about the safety of our family breathing the air inside the room when we got word of a family emergency shortly after checking in. I immediately called the owner to let him know of our sad news, and he said flatly: “Just return the keys at the front desk.” I asked about a possible rebate since we were no longer able to use the room, and I sh-t you not, he said, in our time of sorrow: “I don’t believe you.”

So, the hotel is an absolute horror show of musty rooms, broken old furniture blocking exits and questionable safety standards. That would have been one thing, but add to that an uncaring and hostile owner and here I am, writing the only poor review I’ve ever written about anything on the Internet.

The nicest thing I can say about it is that the front desk lady was kind to my son. She was helpful in navigating the many obstacles to our room, and showed us the common area for playing board games. If only it weren’t directly in view of a staff area, where employees were hanging out on a bed (?), gossiping and staring at us as though we were in a museum.

Because of health and safety concerns, I plan to continue seeking a refund. I would avoid this establishment at all cost.

Musty, scary, shoddily built, owner was extremely unkind. Other than that it’s fine.

Plusses:  quiet,clean, reasonably comfortable mattress, free parking.

Minuses:  Dreary, dingy appearance.  Small room.  Advertises as offering free breakfast, when there isn't even coffee.  We frequently travel and literally  have never been to a place that doesn't have coffee or tea available.  Also, rooms do not have irons, and bathrooms do not have hairdryers.  

Very disappointing

We went to our friends wedding in Jordanville. The townhouse was only 10 minutes away and it was perfect for us.  Our friends had a room also and we had a great time together.  There was enough space for us to enjoy a relaxing time together when we got back from the wedding. We needed more towels but the stafff brought more immediately. 

Great time.  Very comfortable and quiet 

Came for a family reunion at the old family farm. Hotel was perfect for family to stay. Rooms were clean and fresh. One guest had a tv problem and was fixed fast. We are planning the next reunion around September of next year using the Baseball Hotel.
