If you are looking for modern, look elsewhere. If you are looking for old world charm, and just the right amount of wonderful attentive staff, look here. Rooms have great amenities, yet you are still aware that you are in an old hotel. Spring for a lakeview room- well worth the extra since the view is spectacular. More

Enjoyed my first visit to this place. Typically the conference is hosted at the Sagamore in Bolton Landing, NY, but this year the Otesaga Resort hosted us. We had two meals in the spacious banquet hall. Except for the lack of condo style apartments, this resort beats the Sagamore. I would be glad to return. More

First, we regularly have brunch at the Otesaga during the warm and autumn months. The lake view is mesmerizing and the food fresh. All of the staff are always friendly and accommodating. We absolutely love the Otesaga for brunch. Hawkeye grill is great too, but you lose the stunning view. We highly recommend a stop in the Otesaga for brunch... More

Took advantage of the Thanksgiving package offered by the hotel and had the MOST special time. Every service person was so friendly and helpful from the concierge to the dining staff. There were trivia contests and the prizes were a beautiful Christmas ornament and hotel coasters. Many activities were available throughout the days. I loved taking the class on making... More

My husband & I stayed at the Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown, NY over the Thanksgiving holiday & were thoroughly rejuvenated! The "Grande Dame" on the lake sits majestically within walking distance to the very "baseball themed" town. Location was perfect! Although we stayed in an "economical" room our view was of the beautiful lake and the heated pool (still open)... More

My family and I stayed here in October for a short second visit to The Baseball Hall of Fame. The public areas of the hotel are gorgeous and it's a short walk to the center of town. But our rooms were old-fashioned boxes that had larger bathrooms than bedrooms. And where do I start with the food, which was only... More

I recently attended a legal conference at this hotel, and being from Upstate NY I knew I was going to be in Cooperstown, the town that quaint was made for. What I didn't realize was how elegant and refined the Otesaga is. From the chocolates on the pillows to the signs in the hallway asking for quiet in the evenings,... More

The hotel has a grand presence right on the clear pristine Lake Otsego. We went during the fall foliage and it appeared to be a gem in the rough. You have to drive through long winding country roads to get to it and suddenly the crystal clear water and the changing of the leaves gave it a magnificent stunning setting.... More

I can't say enough positive things about this resort. From the quaint, impeccably clean rooms to the fabulous meals, and everything in between, this resort is worth the hefty price for that very special occasion. My wife and I are ballroom dancers and we are constantly looking for venues that cater to our passion. The Otesaga did not disappoint. With... More

We had a beautiful weekend at The Otesaga. As we pulled up to the hotel, I was so surprised at how grand the building is...the pictures don't do it justice. The grounds are amazing, and sitting on a rocker on the porch with a glass of wine served to melt all my stress away! A few words of caution...the building... More
