August Lodge Cooperstown

We had our wedding at the August Lodge this September. Everything was absolutely amazing. From the views to the rooms to the staff. We had our ceremony and reception right at the lodge. The staff was accommodating and helped us every step of the way. We also booked all 25 rooms for our wedding guests. Every room was clean, tidy, and impressive. Our guest especially enjoyed the private balconies and patios with each room. The rooms were large, and allowed plenty of room for my wedding party and guest to get ready for the big day! We can’t thank the August Lodge enough for a truly incredible experience!!

Lodge had amazing views and was a nice one night stay prior to visiting Cooperstown. Could use a little updating, but the 1960's vibe made it quaint.

Property was beautiful, lodge was nice but the staff was missing. No room makeup or cleaned up. Needed towels and had to bring ours to the front desk for an exchange instead of having them brought to us. The “breakfast” was cereal and granola bars. Nice grounds and building but staff and amenities need work.

Beautiful setting—country location but very short commute into Cooperstown. Friendly staff.

While the property is on a beautiful piece of land, we were disappointed with the service. There were only 3 customers at the hotel. We asked for a nice room with a view. The man at the counter said all the rooms are the same. Then he gave us a room facing where workers were putting up a wedding tent, instead of one overlooking the valley. We did not realize until the next day what the options could be, otherwise we would have asked to move.

We booked this hotel not sure whether it was truly decent or not. Had good reviews so we went with it. It truly was above expectations. It is lodge more than a hotel. The best part was the beautiful landscape in the mountains. It sits atop a mountain, so you can see out through the valley and horizon hilltops. So nice. My only complaint, was that the TV in the room did not work correctly. We could not control the TV with the remote nor turn it on or off. Other than that, I felt it was a great place to stay.

I loved the view from the property. The location is beautiful. However, I didn't like that the breakfast is just muffins and cereal. The rooms also smell alittle moldy, so I do think this place is pricey for your stay. It's an average place to stay for the night.

This place needs a whole lot of updating and a lot of "elbow grease". This is not a luxury hotel. Unfortunately we had this for a week because our child was playing in a baseball tournament at the Dream Park. Their website looks great but in reality it is far from it. We found the "suite" in disarray. The shower stall bench area had built up dirt and had not been properly cleaned. The towels were worn and thin and not enough for the guests, the rooms were dirty, no broom, the frying pan had been burnt and not suitable to cook in, the spatula had built up burnt scorch marks, utensils were hit and miss and the utensil tray was filty. The microwave hadn't been wiped and cleaned. The sofa and chair were stained. the screen door was filty and the glass doors needed to be cleaned. The "night stands and end tables" were dirty as they were carved wood and dirt particles had settled in the grooves. We had to go to the office to get extra toilet paper (they would only give you one at a time, the same with any towels). We had to request dish soap, dish towels to wipe the dishes (only one at a time), plastic garbage bags. There was a worn and smelly sponge scrubber to wash dishes so we requested a new and clean one. An evening desk clerk insinuated that these things were in the room and did not believe us so he came up to the room to check it out! Uncalled for! The lighting in all rooms was very poor. The head manager/owner was not available because he was on "vacation". A fine time to be gone. We were all so disillusioned and very disappointed. It is a beautiful location but not worth it to be uncomfortable. The reviews really need to be updated as well. After travelling a great length of time no one needs to encounter such dissatisfaction. Sorry that I did not take any pictures to display and verify these conditions. Good Luck.

cleaning services need improvement, replaced towels, left used towels on bathroom floor
