Nice motel

We stayed two nights for my granddaughters graduation from Potsdam. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. They offered a nice breakfast and the decor in the office dining area was nice and homey.

We stayed 6 days. The area felt safe, clean, and quiet. They had many food options in the area. The staff was friendly. The price was very reasonable- especially compared to the much higher prices of other places around.

Friendly staff/owner that gave goodie bag with homemade cookies and blueberry muffins. The room and bathroom was older and not like the renovated rooms shown on website. Would’ve liked a room without carpet. Would consider staying here again as price is very reasonable and close to colleges.

1st Time Stay in Older Motel

Very cute room and comfy bed. The internet for tv was very weak and the floor was "gritty." A rack for a suitcase would be a good addition. Check in and out was great. We would stay here again.
