Travelers are raving over the motels in from two picturesque New York towns.
A new, national survey asked the country’s most avid vacationers where the best, budget-friendly lodgings are.
While responses ranged from the bucolic villages in California to the paradise-like beach towns in Florida, New York snagged two entries in the top 10.
One of them is from Central New York.
According to the new BadCredit.org survey, Cooperstown has the 9th best motels in America.
Vacationers say the town’s ties to baseball history, rich collection of museums, and views of beautiful Otsego lake make it a very special stay.
What allowed Cooperstown to break into the top 10 was its reputation as the best pilgrimage place among baseball fans.
