A grand and classy resort hotel complete with ubiquitous service. The views of Otsego Lake are mesmerizing (it's alternative name, Glimmerglass, is well-deserved) and the Otesaga takes full advantage of it from the rooms and grounds. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Our standard two-bed room included two walk-in closets. The huge bathroom included two sinks, although shower pressure was... more

We just returned from a 2 night golf vacation at the Otesaga Hotel. Simple stated, everything was top notch, including food, service, golf course facilities, etc. Now a comment for those who have written about children not being welcomed. Not true at all. During our stay 99% of the children were well behaved and about 1% were obviously brought up... more

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
