Lake 'N Pines Motel

The motel is better than I expected, honestly. Old-school charm with (some) modern updates. Great location on the lake, and the private balcony room with lake view is well worth it. We had room #108, right next to the outdoor pool. Be prepared to hear the kids having a lot of fun - nothing wrong with that, it’s a happy sound. And, the motel adheres to quiet hours, so it didn’t go on all night or anything. The property isn’t the quietest, however, nor completely private, so be advised. Nice to have lake access, and to watch kids fishing. We didn’t have time ourselves, but enjoyed seeing others. Didn’t try the indoor pool or spa, did enjoy the outdoor pool, which is quite pretty. WiFi and mobile service (Verizon) were spotty, but perhaps thats a reminder to enjoy the surroundings. You’re outside of Cooperstown proper, of course. We drove to the edge of town and used the Shuttle service to get around. Also, if Cooperstown cafes, stores, etc, are over-run, you can go north instead to Richmond Springs. Overall, a good stay.

We were told there was a tag on the inside of door to display outside on the door for room cleaning. We informed the clerk at the desk that we did not have one and it took 2 days to get one. When we did display the tag no one bothered to clean the room. We had to approach the service desk to get towels and get the trash buckets ready to be picked up as well. When we asked if we could get credit for no cleaning for the 4 days of our stay I was given a lame reply that they would look into it. I’m not holding my breath. It was pretty poor service for a premium price.

Beautiful location right on the lake. Some good amenities including an indoor pool. They also have a multi room cabin good for families.

The staff was wonderful, very kind and helpful. Our room was clean and bright, we had a gorgeous view of Lake Otsego from our room and our balcony. It has several amenities that make it a terrific place to hang out, and the drive from the motel to downtown Cooperstown is gorgeous.

It was just ok

I booked and paid for three nights and left after the first...that about sums up my experience at Lake N Pines. The staff is RUDE, the "heated" pool is FREEZING. I wish I'd read other people recent reviews before booking. The view is beautiful, the rest NOT.
