Top Ames Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Cobleskill NY

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great and the staff were very courteous and helpful."

Countryside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was prompt and easy. The room was a comfortable temperature. The shower had plentiful, hot, soft water...so nice after a long day! The only nitpicking I can do is mention that the hairdryer was missing from its' designated holder. And there was no toilet roll holder. Neither had the least affect on my stay! A great bargain for the price."

Lake View Motel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location on the lake, vintage motel atmoshere Room was very comfortable but bathroom can be updated"

Lake Front Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location to Main St and only a couple minute walk to Hall of Fame and stores, bars and restaurants. Staff is always friendly and helpful and they have a nice restaurant with good food for breakfast, lunch and dinner which unfortunately was closed due to a recent fire in the kitchen. Would highly recommend the Hotel."

Bayside Inn & Marina

8/10 Good

"It was a very nice place until 5 am when someone was smoking Pot outside our room and it came into the heating/AC vent and stunk up our room."

Travelers Inn

8/10 Good

"Interior and exterior needs updating."

KC's Corner Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice clean and comfortable room. The Beekman toiletries were a nice touch. The only issue is the electrical outlet in the bathroom was too far away from the mirror over the sink. This was the only mirror in the room so I couldn’t use hair dryer or curling iron. The room use another mirror somewhere near an electrical outlet. As a side note, the electrical outlet in the bathroom didn’t work at all anyway."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Johnstown

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable hotel. The fluorescent lighting in the room is harsh and potentially uncomfortable for some people. The complimentary breakfast is satisfactory. Instant oatmeal is available but cooked oatmeal wood be much more satisfying and healthier."

Quality Inn & Suites Schoharie near Howe Caverns
