Whatever you do do not stay at this "hotel"if you are going to Cooperstown. It is much farther from town than advertised. The manager Sam is rude and threatenening and the rooms smells as well. When I wanted to leave because of the false advertising, he would not let me out of my "reservation". II was forced to pay a 250 dollar cancellation fee and then went elsewhere. It was worth the 250 bucks wasted to not stay there another night.After that he still wanted to try and bill me for the nights I didnt stay on top of the cancellation fee. I had to call me credit card company and warn them that he was going to try and put through another charge which he did try and do as well and then he called me several times on my cell phone bugging me about the money. Be warned

“Never Stay Here”

Budget Inn

Sep 21, 2005
7/13 found this review helpful

I say this with no amount of exaggeration whatsoever: staying at this place was the WORST experience I have ever had with a hotel in my entire life. I came to Sharon Springs to attend a college reunion in nearby Cobbleskill. From the day I reserved my room I should have known not to stay here. The man who took my reservation was incredibly rude and intrusive. He wanted to know every detail of my stay from where I’d be traveling to whether I was there to visit friends or family or for business. He would not take: “it’s none of your business” for an answer. I was running late the night of my arrival and called ahead at around 8:30 to make arrangements for a late arrival and was told that the desk clerk (who is also manager and owner apparently) would be leaving for the night and he would not be able to accommodate me unless I arrived before 9:00. He would also be charging me a $150 “no-show” fee (the cost of my 2 night stay)! There was no mention at the time of my reservation that arrangements would not be made if I arrived after 9:00 or that there was any time at which the hotel “closed”. I was told had I put my reservation on a Discover or Amex instead of a MasterCard he would be able to accommodate me but alas, I had used the wrong card. I finally called a friend who was also staying at this hotel (and had his own terrible experience) to go down and check in on my behalf, which he generously did. When I arrived I found a smelly, dirty room with a broken lock, no A.C., no phone, no hot water, no towels and signs everywhere along the lines of: “we have recorded your license plate number and will report any thefts to the police”, like there was anything worth taking. The next day I complained about the hot water and was told: “when someone else showers there’s no hot water” although there was NEVER hot water. I complained about the A.C. and was told: “I gave you a room with a stove and refrigerator for no extra charge”, which I did not ask for and did not use (but I would have used the A.C.). This room, by the way, had a stove in it but no fire extinguisher (although there was a holder for it on the wall) and a smoke alarm with no battery. Budget Inn seems to greatly value the safety of their guests. Whatever you do DO NOT stay in this hotel. You’re better off sleeping in your car or on the street. If this hotel were an apartment building we would call the owner a slumlord and the city would shut it down.

“Don't be fooled, it's a dump!”

When you visit Cooperstown, NY and are looking for a hotel nearby that is reasonably priced, don't be fooled like we were and stay here! Yes, the per night room rate is a lot less then the other hotels, and anyone you speak to on the phone will tell you it is 15 minutes outside of Cooperstown but its not. This hotel is at least 35 minutes away and that’s going 60 on back roads over a mountain. It is an old motor in, renamed Budget, rooms are small and fairly clean but a/c units are dirty and don't cool well. Parking is a problem. There are 18 rooms and only room for 14 cars, if you park on the grass, expect a call at 10pm to move your car behind the building where you can't see it. My room had no chain locks on the door; the shower floor was cement with mold on the edges; and, what looked like permanent residents partying in the parking lot till midnight. Stay away from this one!!!!!!

“Absolutely terrible”

Budget Inn

Oct 11, 2004
8/14 found this review helpful

Probably worst lodging experience I've had. no AC in mid July, dirty, towels so old and worn they were useless. We paid for 3 nights, but didnt stay that long as the place was so uncomfortable; Manager gruff and not helpful.

I recommend avoiding no matter what. No one should associate this place with the graciousness and pleasantness of Cooperstown
