I guess I'm out of options in Richfield Springs, my 6th time since 2005 staying in this town. First I was not pleased with Village Motel, then I was very happy with a small motel down the road, but it closed its doors for some reason, so I then just tried the Fountain View Motel on rt. 20. The room... More

I shouldn't take this personally but I do. Apparently the reviewer blames us for the recent closure of a nearby motel owned by a friend of his. That is the only motivation I can think of for his review. I charged his credit card only once, $54.00 plus tax. My family and I have been operating this motel for over... More

Motels are pricey during the summer near Cooperstown and this is the best deal in the area. Rooms are clean and large, beds are comfy, chairs outside to enjoy the fresh air. Don't let the dated decor bother you-everything you need is up to date.

Our fourth stay at the Fountain view. 1. maid service is superb! 2. bed linen & bath towels, wash cloths are white & spotless! 3. Owners are on site & available when required. 4. Wireless Internet is available. If you are in the Cooperstown area, this is the place to stay!

This was my first visit to the Fountain View, but not my first view of the swans in Richfield Springs. Over the years I've been passing them by for a loooong time! My sister and I have been annual visits to Glimmerglass Opera for 10 years. We decided to make a change for the motel this year and here is... More

Stayed at the Fountain View many times. Great place. If you’re looking for the Hilton, this ain’t it. However, if you are looking for true Americana, this is a great example. Kind of like stepping back in time a bit and that’s a welcome change. The negative review above was unnecessary. These are hard working people with a nice place.... More

This was our third stay at the Fountain View. When we first started attending the Glimmerglass, we stayed at hotels in Cooperstown. What did we get? Expensive rooms, marginal service & noise. What do we have at the Fountain View? A large clean comfortable room, parking in front of our door, quiet & the maid service is well done. Three... More

at this hotel. Based on previous reviews, we gave it a try. I looked briefly at room before taking it, and at a glance, it seemed dated but ok. Once we were settled in, I checked for bedbugs by lifting the corner of the mattress - good news, no bugs! Bad news - no cleaning of box spring either -... More

When this person came to our motel she looked closely at the room before checking in, and had nothing but kind words for it (large clean room, big TV, nice location, beautiful view). Therefore, I am very surprised to see her post this review. The carpet next to the bed has a small burn spot. It is not anything nasty.... More

Stayed two nights while attending the Glimmerglass Opera. Very clean, quiet and very spacious. We hope to stay there again in 2011. Far better than staying in Cooperstown.

This 1960's vintage motel should blow your socks off. Sixteen units in a row - parking at your door makes it easy to move-in and move-out. this facility has been renovated recently in a most professional manner and of particular note is the cleanliness - second to none. check-in was prompt and courtious - foldaway bed added in 5 minutes....

Friends and I were headed for the Glimmerglass Opera. Hotels and inns in Cooperstown seemed pretty pricey so we opted for this motel about 14 miles north. Great deal - clean, comfortable. The decor might be a bit on the old side, but if you just want a decent place to rest your head at night, this is a good... More
