Herkimer Hotels: Where to Stay in New York

Herkimer, New York has a small but varied lodging list. You can book a chain-style motel, two independent motels, a historic bed and breakfast, or a cabin at a campground beside the Herkimer Diamond Mines. This guide covers the hotels in Herkimer we could confirm, flags the gaps, and shows how to pick a base for diamond mining and day trips on the Mohawk Valley. Addresses and phone numbers come from listings, tourism sources, and the properties themselves. Rates change daily, so we do not quote them. We also dropped several places from our old list because we could not confirm they exist in Herkimer.

Hotels in Herkimer NY: What We Could Confirm

Red Roof Inn and Suites Herkimer

Red Roof Inn and Suites is the main hotel-style option in town. The address is 100 Marginal Road, Herkimer, NY 13350. The Route 20 Association lists the phone as 315-866-0490.

The Route 20 listing names free Wi-Fi, renovated rooms, a free continental breakfast, a fitness facility, and a 24-hour lobby. The hotel is smoke-free and pet-friendly. Each room has a microwave and a mini-refrigerator. A seasonal outdoor pool runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The listing notes easy access to Interstate 90 by way of NY 28 and NY 5S, which suits drivers. The listing does not state check-in and check-out times, so ask at booking. Pet fees and limits also vary, so call before you bring a dog.

One lodging directory lists the same address and phone under the name Herkimer Motel, and the Route 20 Association also carries a Herkimer Motel and Suites entry. A rename or rebrand could explain the gap, but we could not confirm one. Check the name on the booking page and the sign when you arrive.

Pick this property if you want a standard room, a free breakfast, and easy highway access.

Inn Towne Motel

Inn Towne Motel stands at 227 North Washington Street, Herkimer, NY 13350. The phone is 315-866-1101, according to two listing sites.

One listing counts 32 rooms and names free parking, a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi in common areas, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. Rooms have a refrigerator and a microwave. The same listing gives check-in after 2 PM and check-out before 11 AM, and calls the motel non-smoking.

Our old guide called this motel pet-friendly. We found no source for the pet policy, so we removed the claim. Call the front desk to ask about pets, parking, and payment methods.

Pick Inn Towne if you want a simple motel room in the village.

Budget Inn Herkimer

Budget Inn sits at 715 Mohawk Street, Herkimer, NY 13350. A booking listing shows the phone as 315-866-6080.

The listing names free Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, air conditioning, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a 24-hour front desk. Check-in begins after 2 PM and check-out ends before 11 AM. We found this information in one source only, so treat the details as unconfirmed.

Our old guide described a playground and a pool at this motel. We found nothing to support either claim, so we removed them. Ask before you book if either one matters to you.

Pick Budget Inn if you want a low-frills base and you are willing to confirm details by phone.

Grand Colonial Bed and Breakfast

Grand Colonial is a bed and breakfast in a colonial mansion built in 1889. The address is 112 West German Street, Herkimer, NY 13350, in the village center.

An Expedia listing describes individually furnished rooms and a free full breakfast served daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Guests get free Wi-Fi and free parking. The grounds include a firepit and an outdoor entertainment area. The inn also offers bicycle rentals and tours, and a gift shop.

Check-in begins at 3 PM and check-out ends before 11 AM. The listing says no front desk exists. Guests receive access codes by email, so read your confirmation closely. The listing also states dogs are welcome, with a pet fee. Confirm the current pet rules with the inn.

We found the details in a booking listing and could not open the inn’s own site. Treat the amenity list as single-source and unconfirmed.

Pick Grand Colonial if you want a historic building, a cooked breakfast, and a walkable location.

Bellinger Rose and Raindrops on Roses Bed and Breakfast

Two names appear for one address. Kayak lists Bellinger Rose Bed and Breakfast at 611 West German Street, Herkimer, NY 13350. LateRooms lists Raindrops on Roses Bed and Breakfast at the same street address. A change of name or ownership could explain this, but we could not confirm one.

Kayak gives check-in after 3 PM and check-out before 11 AM, and places the property half a mile from the village center near the Herkimer County Courthouse. LateRooms describes an adults-only bed and breakfast with private bathrooms, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a hot tub, and a garden.

Our old guide gave these as two separate inns. We found only one address. We also found no source for the old claims about hiking trails, waterfalls, and a sprawling estate, so we removed them.

Call before you book. Ask which name the inn uses now, whether the inn accepts children, and whether guests can bring pets.

Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA Resort

The KOA Resort stands at 4626 State Route 28 North, Herkimer, NY 13350. Call 315-891-7355. The KOA site lists a season from April 11 to October 31.

Lodging types include RV sites, tent sites, cabins, and glamping options such as deluxe cabins with full baths, treehouse lodges, and solar-powered cabins. Amenities include Wi-Fi, 50 amp service, a seasonal pool, a snack bar, propane, bike rentals, and a dog park called Camp K-9. Activities include tubing and kayaking on West Canada Creek, disc golf, and jewelry making.

RV and tent check-in starts at 1:00 PM and check-out ends at 11:00 AM. Cabin and lodge check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out also ends at 11:00 AM. The KOA site does not show its pet policy, so ask before you bring a pet.

The campground sits next to the Herkimer Diamond Mines. The KOA directions place the resort just past the mines on State Route 28. Guests can search for quartz crystals the KOA describes as about 500 million years old, and the finds are yours to keep.

Pick the KOA if you want a stay built around diamond mining, creek recreation, or a cabin night. Confirm cabin availability early, since the resort closes after October 31.

Prospect Inn

Several travel listings carry Prospect Inn at 200 North Prospect Street, Herkimer. One lodging directory gives the phone as 315-866-4400. We found no amenity list, no check-in times, and no current status from the property.

Treat this entry as unconfirmed. Call before you plan around this stay, and do not rely on a booking page alone.

Where to Stay Near Herkimer Diamond Mines

Herkimer Diamond Mines sits at 4626 State Route 28 North, Herkimer, NY 13350. The mines describe a place to mine, shop, stay, and dine. Visitors can mine for quartz crystals, visit the Rockhound Academy, make jewelry at the Artisan Center, and browse the Trading Post gift shop. A canteen serves refreshments in Miners’ Village.

The mines site said the 2026 season reopens on April 12, 2026. Hours and mining rules change, so check the mines site before you go.

The KOA Resort is the only lodging we found right beside the mines. Village motels and bed and breakfasts keep you closer to restaurants and the courthouse district. A motel stay means a short drive on State Route 28 each morning. We did not source drive times, so check a map for your route.

Another option exists for Herkimer diamond hunters. Wikivoyage lists Ace of Diamonds Mine in Middleville as a second place to collect Herkimer diamonds with rental tools. Confirm its season and entry rules with the mine.

Where to Stay in Herkimer: Motels, Inns, and Cabins

Herkimer lodging splits into four types. Motels give you the simplest room and the easiest highway access. Bed and breakfasts give you a historic building and a morning meal. The KOA gives you a cabin or a campsite. A chain-style hotel gives you a front desk and a free breakfast.

Red Roof Inn and Suites and Inn Towne Motel are the two motels with the best-documented details. Budget Inn rests on a single listing. Grand Colonial and the West German Street bed and breakfast offer the most atmosphere.

Many travelers also look at motels near Herkimer Diamond Mines. The only lodging we confirmed beside the mines is the KOA, so book the resort early for summer weekends.

The Places We Removed From Our Old Guide

Our earlier version listed several properties. We removed them because we could not confirm them or because they do not fit the location.

Herkimer Diamond Mines Interpretive Center appeared as a place to stay. We found no source for lodging at a museum building. The lodging at the mines is run through the KOA Resort, so we list the KOA instead.

Homewood Suites by Hilton New Hartford Utica and La Quinta Inn and Suites Utica appeared in the old text. Both sit outside Herkimer. We did not verify either one, so we dropped them. Utica and New Hartford have more chain hotels if Herkimer fills up. Check a map and a booking site for current options.

West Canada Creek Campsite also appeared in the old text. We found no source for a campground by this name. The KOA Resort sits on West Canada Creek, so campers should start there.

We also removed claims about pool access, playgrounds, designated pet areas, and shuttle services at several properties. We found no source for them.

Getting to Herkimer and Getting Around

Wikivoyage places Herkimer at Exit 30 of the New York State Thruway, which is Interstate 90. Most visitors arrive by car.

The nearest Amtrak station sits in Utica, about 15 miles away, with daily service to major Northeastern cities. The Canal Trail connects the area for cyclists. Syracuse Hancock International Airport and Albany International Airport serve the region. Wikivoyage places Cooperstown, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame, about 45 minutes south along Route 28.

Public transit options in town are limited, and we found no confirmed hotel shuttle. Plan to bring a car or arrange a ride. Check a map for current driving times and road conditions, especially in winter.

What to Do in Herkimer After You Check In

Wikivoyage lists the Herkimer County Courthouse, the F.E. Spinner Mansion in Mohawk, and the Herkimer County Jail, which offers historical tours. Hours and tour dates change, so check each site first.

The Bellinger Rose listing places the property near the Reformed Church and the courthouse. Grand Colonial sits in the same village center. Staying there lets you walk to these sights.

How to Choose a Hotel in Herkimer

Families and travelers who want a free breakfast should start with Red Roof Inn and Suites, which lists a continental breakfast and a seasonal pool.

Diamond hunters should call the KOA Resort first. The mines sit beside the campground.

Couples and history fans should look at Grand Colonial. The mansion dates to 1889 and serves a full breakfast. The adults-only bed and breakfast on West German Street may also suit couples, after you confirm its name and rules.

Pet owners should call each property. Red Roof Inn lists pets as welcome and Grand Colonial lists dogs with a fee. We could not confirm the policy at Inn Towne, Budget Inn, or the KOA.

Budget-minded travelers should compare the motels by phone. Listings differ, and we do not quote rates. Ask for the total with taxes and fees, and compare the total on two booking sites.

Before you pay, confirm the property name on the building, the cancellation policy, parking, breakfast hours, and late arrival rules. Book early for summer, when mining season and Cooperstown trips fill rooms.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked Red Roof Inn details against the Route 20 Association and a travel directory. We checked Inn Towne Motel against two listing sites. We took KOA and Herkimer Diamond Mines details from their own sites. We took Grand Colonial, Bellinger Rose, Raindrops on Roses, and Budget Inn details from booking listings. We took getting-there details from Wikivoyage.

We could not confirm current rates, the current name of the motel at 100 Marginal Road, the name of the bed and breakfast at 611 West German Street, pet rules at most properties, or the status of Prospect Inn. Phone numbers and policies change. Confirm each detail with the property before you travel.
