Okay place to spend the night if you need a place to sleep and are visiting the Howe Caverns I guess. Room has no cable and a very tiny old projection television. In the future I would definitely go to another hotel in Cobleskill if I needed a place to stay the night. There aren’t any places to go that are close to eat or get anything either. Most are a 15 to 20 minute drive to Cobleskill. Average place to sleep and spend a night.

Stayed here to do lantern tour at Howe caverns which was wonderful but we ended up disappointed with the motel. The room itself was very nice, clean, comfortable. Our problem was the lack of TV service. It was non existant. When we checked in the TV was off line and they told us they were working on it. We did the tour that night & when we returned it still wasn’t working. The room was not badly priced but I do expect for the price to have tv service. The next morning the staff took off a whole 27.00/ 10% from the bill even though we had another problem of carpet tacks sticking up out of the floor and we kept stepping on them each time we entered the barhroom. Staff didn’t care in the least. Not once did she apologize for any of the inconvenience. The night caretaker was more apologetic.

If your coming to howe caverns this is a great place to stay… great package price for the stay and tour included. the room is nothing special but good enough for overnight stay and tour of the caverns.

I give the motel 3 ½ to 4 stars if you understand that it’s an old motel and accept it for what it is. This is not luxury but it is cozy, clean and convenient. Stayed in the Family Suite with my 3 kids; 7÷7÷4. It is two rooms back to back with a shared bath. Two double beds in each room, each with a small(dated) tv. There is a small fridge and microwave in the common hallway. It’s the first room in the building so it’s subject to some wind. Not a big deal but noticeable during the night. Went out to dinner then bought some microwave popcorn & drinks for the room. The only disappointment would be the small tvs and limited channel selection. They are hooked to Dish Network with about 12 channels, none of which are kid appropriate after dinner hours. Channel list needs updating in room binder but there are so few available that you can click through them pretty quickly. A DVD player would have been helpful. However we didn’t come to watch tv so all in all we enjoyed it. The kids had a good time and that’s all that matters.

We booked this motel because it was close to Howe Caverns. We booked a little late because all the single rooms were taken and what’s left were double rooms. The room was very clean, but has a strange smell. The air conditioner is very strong, but loud. The bathroom is connected to a room with two sinks. The room also comes with a microwave and mini fridge. The television is out dated, but we didn’t have time to watch TV shows. The view outside the hotel was beautiful. There are cows nearby munching on grass!

I have not been there yet, but I am very excited to go. I’m a South Bronx girl(not the ghetto type), so to me this is an adventure. I’m taking my boyfriend there for valentine’s day, so I am hoping for a lot of romance, if you know what I mean… okay don’t judge me I thought caves and wild sex! :-). So far the website doesn’t really exude sexiness but its nicely organized and the prices are great. The women who took my call at the motel, Holly, is very very nice. I can’t wait to go. I hope my boyfriend likes it, because it’s a surprise. I’ll update this post.

Nice, clean room. Nothing exceptional or memorable but clean and nice. No breakfast but right beside the Cavern Tour so we bought breakfast there. The one high point was the nice youg lady who checked us in. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciated her help explaining all the things we needed to see and do while we were here…

Place was ok, but glad we didnt have to stay more than 2 nights. Stayed during Cooperstown induction weekend and this was the closest place I could find. Was about $ 200 a night for completely out dated room and no breakfast. The price of the room did include a lantern tour of the cavern though.

I stayed at the motel on a recent trip to Howe Caverns with my boyfriend. We stayed there as part of one of their package deals with tickets to the caverns. Included in our package was a souvenir tray, flowers, champagne and some homemade fudge in the room upon our arrival. Our room had 2 double beds and was comfortable. All rooms are non-smoking. I liked the bathroom area, which had a separate room with the toilet and shower and another room with 2 sinks. There was a TV, but stations were very limited. On site there is a pool, but it was snowing so we obvious were not using it. The convenience to the caverns is the real appeal. It is also about 4 miles from food and businesses in Cobleskill. In all, a comfortable place to stay overnight when making a trip to Howe Caverns. And if you go off-season, the rates are even more reasonable…
