The room with 2 queen beds was in immaculate condition upon arrival. You can tell that the owners take pride in their property due to their attention to detail. The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and playing at the beach; they also loved the "old school" arcade and pool table. The lobby/lounge is a great place to get out of your room and just hang out, especially if the weather is inclement. We bought some meats at Price Chopper and then used the community grill. We also took a canoe out for a spin on the lake. Just do it! When visiting Cooperstown, do yourself a favor and book this location. Then drive down and park in a trolley lot for free, and let the trolley take you around town. ($5.50 for a family pass trolley ticket for the day). Thank you to the owners and staff for a wonderful stay!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights during our visit to Cooperstown. We found all the staff very friendly and wanting to take care of your needs whatever they might be. The entire Inn and surrounding area including the room are really well cared for and clean. The bedding was comfortable and soft. We noticed other staying there using an outside grill area under a pavilion and a family with young kids enjoying the beach area to swim and relax. It's like 10 minutes North of Cooperstown on the lake front of Lake Otsego. If you don't want to make a run back into Cooperstown for a bite to eat, there is a place about two minutes North that makes great subs to order at a very good price. My only negative is the room air-conditioner turned on and off frequently.

Awesome place. The staff was so nice and accommodating. We came for a poultry show and I booked this place even though it was about 40 minutes away, bc we wanted to get a little vacation out of it. This lovely place did not disappoint. I especially appreciated the free kayak and canoe rentals, and the staff was lovely. They also really accommodated us when we requested a different room (nothing wrong with first room, we just wanted a balcony.) My son loved the checkers out front and the game room and I loved the rockers and the balcony view, and like I mentioned, the canoe/kayaks. We will definitely be back and look forward to it. Thank you!

Excellent stay. Clean rooms, Jason at the front desk was helpful and friendly. We not only stayed here but also purchased the slightly discounted museum tickets from the front desk. The inn is about ten minutes from Cooperstown and we couldn't ask for more. Me and the kids took advantage of the board games and arcade and took a few walks down to the lake. Deserves five stars but would also suggest potentially bringing your own pillows as the pillows were not that comfortable.

My husband and I stayed in Bayside Inn for one night. Fabulous location. The room was spacious and spotless . The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was plenty big with lots of lighting . There is a day room with lots of tables and chairs and microwave where you can bring back food and dine in comfort. Also a large outdoor dining area . The girl on reception was very helpful. I would definitely recommend .

I was passing through Cooperstown and needed a good place to stay. Bayside Inn is about 10 minutes outside of town on the lake and has a variety of room types. For the price it is excellent value. Very clean, very friendly and an absolutely perfect place to stay for a brief stop in Cooperstown. I had an Inn room, inside the main building and it had everything I needed for a good night sleep. I would certainly have no problem in recommending.

We booked at Bayside Inn for a two-night visit to Cooperstown and it was perfect for our needs. They have clean rooms outfitted with a mini refrigerator and microwave. Bathrooms and room are clean! We were not disappointed. The weather wasn’t quite warm enough for us to check out the water area, but we enjoyed the quiet location. It was very easy to get to and from Cooperstown and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Got there, stayed in main room, double bed. Stains on carpet, mirror had scapes on it, dirt along bathroom floor. I was looking forward to a nice hot shower when i got to the room at night, however I did not feel like cleaning the tub of hair. The main lobby also out dated, not really a view of the lake either from where i stayed.
The only thing this place has going for it, is the location of it. I did indeed mention these things to the owner who was un masked, nasty, and questioning the condition of the room, She stated , " i find this hard to believe." I then stated that I took photos and she became quiet.
There are plenty of nice places around and I do not like giving money to nasty owners or for a place in such out dated decor and condition.
FYI: This is the first time I have ever wrote such a negative review.

Response from Bayside Inn, General Manager at Bayside Inn & Marina
Responded Aug 30, 2021
This guest booked a room in our motel for 2 nights. When she checked in she was angry that our location is farther than she wanted to be from Oneonta. She wanted to cancel her second night but was informed that she was within our cancellation period. She got huffy and threw the pen on the front desk when filling out the registration form. The next morning she came to the front desk claiming there were problems with the room and that she was leaving one day early. All of our motel rooms have 2 queen beds. After dealing with her in the morning I immediately went to the room with my maintenance man. There were no stains on the carpet, the very large mirror has a few "desilvering" spots that do not impede use and is normal wear for mirrors, especially in a bathroom area, and there was no dirt along the bathroom floor. This guest definitely used the shower and the only hair that I found in the tub or sink was from her and there was a lot of it. The pictures of the room and lobby on all of our listings and website are exactly as they currently look. There is a partial lake view from all motel rooms which is stated in our listings and website also. The housekeeping and maintenance staff work extremely hard to keep the property in good order and to have a guest make up problems with a room is upsetting. All of our reviews state how clean the property is. This guest was extremely unhappy before checking in because of our location to Oneonta, where she was dropping her daughter off for college. There are several great resources to use when traveling. It is extremely easy to type in your destination and look for accommodations, attractions, and restaurants that are close to that destination. I use google maps myself for that purpose. If you don't want to use one of those resources you can always call the property and ask them how far they are from a specific destination. An accommodation can't be held responsible for a guest's choices.

Love this property!! We stay here for the view, the use of kayaks and canoes at no extra cost, fire pit and beach area , arcade room, and family gathering room with books and games and a tv. There is always something to do on the property itself. We love taking out the kayaks and canoes to fish. Caught a 2 lb bass the first time we stayed here. This time we caught 8 and 9 inch sunfish/bluegills. Staff is super friendly and always accommodating. So peaceful and serene and always a fantastic time.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The rooms are very clean and modernized. There The view is only slight obscured by trees in the hotel rooms, but still a beautiful, peaceful view. Sweet, private beach with free kayak and canoe rentals. It’s a beautiful 10 min drive to Cooperstown. I have fairly high standards for my family and I will stay here again
