Super 8 by Wyndham Oneonta/Cooperstown

Very clean room …if you can get in. The card reader on our room door worked when it wanted to. Love standing in the hallway swearing under my breath for 15 minutes at a pop waiting for my fifth re-coded key card to “catch.”

What a dump. When you hear people say a place is a dump, this is what they mean. No exaggeration. Looks like a rest stop motel from the 1960s. I needed to use the restroom while I waited to check in. I was guided to a back room with an old fridge, garbage everywhere and what looked like a gas station bathroom which hadn't ever been cleaned. Our room was ok, but this is the worst motel I ever stayed in. The parking lot looked like the surface of the moon. The place was empty and scary. I'd rather sleep in my car in a restaurant parking lot before I would stay here.

Felt dirty staying here. At check in the manager was actually making fun of my name. Bad start. Hallways were filthy with carpet coming up in several places. Room wasn’t much cleaner. Toilet paper was in the toilet on arrival. Long hairs were in the bath tub. We didn’t use it. Linens all had stains. Overall felt gross staying here and I’ve stayed at questionable places. This place just didn’t seem like it cared enough to try.

I needed a place stay for a trip to Glimmerglass in Cooperstown. I was surprised that the reviews were as positive as they were for a Super8, but for the most part, it did not disappoint. I know the area because I went to school in Oneonta, but had never stayed. My family visits the area with some frequencly, but our hotels of choice were just too expensive for this time around, so we went with Super8. Positives: -the room was clean and comfortable and we felt safe. - Fridge and Microwave, which are always a bonus. The shower was really nice with ample room in the bathroom sink area. They even had a shower bench for elderly or disabled, which was nice to see though not needed for our trip. -TV worked great though I had to find the sleep timer on the set itself bc the remote didn't include it -close to lots of shopping/restaurants with Cooperstown about 25 minutes away Negatives: -breakfast is basically some fruit and muffins (though this may be represented on its site--I don't remember, but don't expect much). Three is a Denny's right next door with other great options (Social Eats about 7 minutes away is amazing!). -lots of pot holes in the parking lot so be careful navigating. I probably looked like I was intoxicated as I slowly swerved all over trying to avoid them -there was a musty/smoky smell in the room. Perhaps from construction or old something or other--it's a shame, because the room itself was really fine. If something could be done about that, it would be really great. Though annoying, I was okay though I started to feel it in my throat. I would imagine those with more sensitivities would have a bigger issue with it. I would stay there again, though I'll likely try my regular spots first. In a bind for $$ or availability, I would have no qualms staying here again.

Nice place to stay but watch out for the potholes. Clean, great staff, shopping and dining within walking distance. Parking lot definitely needs work. Potholes are big enough to cause damage to your vehicle.

Rooms are fine, beds are comfy. The entire hotel smells like cigarette smoke, so that’s unpleasant. Breakfast choices are slim: oatmeal, muffins and coffee. It’s ok for a place to crash, but it’s not glamorous.
