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.
Last night of a 3000 mile trip home from winter in Arizona. Cute, clean, very quiet. We were happy to support a local business. We had traveled 6 days and this was our 7th night.. the chain hotels in the area were clise to $200/night with taxes and fees. Price was fair here and the stay was wonderful!
Nice, quiet property with a super clean room & bathroom, comfy bed and in-room mini fridge & microwave. I will definitely stay here again when in the area for work.
Overnight stay during athletic event at local college. Room was clean and comfortable. Frig and microwave in room meant I could save leftovers from dinner and make breakfast. Grounds are well kept. As with any motel, the room is not soundproof, but guests are respectful and we enjoyed a great night's sleep. This motel is very conveniently located to Potsdam...just a few minutes from downtown. I highly recommend!
Overall my experience was great. It’s a very cute motel. They have done a good job of trying to improve the rooms. Everything was clean in the room. The only issue I had was the heat wasn’t working the second night so the room got very cold. It’s a no frills motel but a perfect, quiet place to stay.
