My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Cooperstown. Restaurants and the hall of fame were in walking distance from the Inn. The room was clean and everyone was friendly.
It is a comfortable and friendly place. Everything is clean and they offer snacks, drinks and easy breakfast items. The whole inn is decorated in sleek modern lines with whimsy of train decor. I would go back anytime. One small negative was the showers are rainshower style and they do not offer much pressure.
We loved staying at the Railroad Inn for a weekend in Cooperstown! The service was excellent, the room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed, and the location was great. We’d definitely stay here again!
Safe and quiet neighborhood, good off-street parking. Nice porch and seating area outside for morning coffee. Snack/Breakfast bar was open 24/7. Staff was friendly and helpful
The breakfast food was fine. Plenty of healthy choices. It was all available 24 hours (along with other snacks) so it was veryconvenient.
The location was nice and quiet (at least in December). The staff was friendly and helpful.
The bed was comfortable, though I found the pillows a little hard for my taste. The ceramic tile on the bathroom floor was kind of chilly (won't be a problem in the summer months), but the water was nice and hot.
The Inn enhanced our Cooperstown experience. Our room was clean, comfortable and historical, and staff was friendly and helpful. We could easily walk to the Baseball Hall of Fame, restaurants and shops. Breakfast was a simple, yet sufficient 24 hour offering of fruit, packaged snacks, bagels, juice and hot beverages. The porch and grounds are beautiful and offer a fire pit, outside seating areas and tables - unfortunately we went in fall and it was too cool for us to enjoy being outside long.
A nice comfortable stay that looked to be recently renovated. The hallway floor sounded hollow underneath but fortunately I was at the end of the long hallway and someone walking only woke me up once.

Stayed there two nights last week. Relatively new place and the outside and inside look great. Staff was young but accommodating. Once checked in is when things got tripped up. The tv was broken in our room. Got a room switch. Climate control in the room (heat pump) was not working and the room was hot. Had to ask for more tp as the role was almost empty at check-in. Cable tv still did not work so I had to use my You tube tv account. There was a stink bug that found its way onto my sleeping girlfriend. Yikes, she was not happy! Walls are thin and lots can be heard from the hallway even though not many people were staying there. The bed was not the comfortable compared to the rest of the decor which is quite nice and thematic. Would I stay there again? Possibly is the best answer I can give.
The hotel was clean and the room was nice. The staff was extremely accommodating. Everything about the hotel was great. Close proximity to the Baseball Hall of Fame. When I return to Cooperstown I will definitly stay here again.
