We visited the Otesaga for a three-day golf vacation spiced by an afternoon at the Glimmerglass opera – courtesy of a Christmas gift certificate from our children. We’ve done the Italian lakes hotels including Villa d’Este and the Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees, as well as the Austrian lakeside retreat of Hotel Schloss Fuschl – so our standards for lakeside... more

The Otesaga is a throw back to a different place and time in the best of ways! Copperstown is one of the most beautiful villages in America, and the Otesaga---situated on the lake front is the most beautiful place in the town to stay! more

My family just got back from celebrating my father's 70th birthday at the Otesaga. While I have to say that I have stayed at a number of better places, the Otesaga did fit the bill for the occasion. If you accept it for what it is, you will be sure to have a delightful stay. The hotel is a very... more

Cooperstown has always been at the top of our places to visit. We love baseball and could not wait to visit the Hall of Fame. The Otesaga Resort is famous, so we splurged for its four star accommodations. Maybe its because I had built up the hotel in my mind, but I could not have been more disappointed. The location... more

Terrible service overall. Rude waitstaff and cleaning staff that apparently do not understand the term "service profession". We had lunch at the restaurant one afternoon and found the hostess to be very rude. Although we requested a table on the deck, we were told there weren't any available-- then spent an hour watching folks be seated there. We had to... more

After reading the previous reviews I was a bit apprehensive about spending the weekend at the Otesaga Hotel. My mother and I were staying there for mother's day weekend and wanted a relaxing, quiet getaway. I will address the positives first: I am not sure if there is a change in management since the last reviews, however we found the... more

After reading several of the other reviews, we were hesitant to stay at the Otesaga, but Cooperstown was a destination for us (the Baseball Hall of Fame - my son is a huge Red Sox fan) and frankly the Otesaga is the only large hotel in town so we thought we'd give it a try. It was nice, but... as... more

I attended a conference at the Otesaga. There is no doubt that the hotel is quite grand and very beautiful but the one thing that troubled me during my visit was how horribly cold the entire hotel was. Regardless of what floor we were on, it was down right frigid! Staff and guests alike were rubbing their hands together and... more

My visit to the Otesaga was part of a business trip. At that time there were a total of three organizations listed as having functions in the Hotel. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the location perfect if you like walking a short distance to town. The lake is stunning, the pool was kept clean and the rooms are very... more
