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.

Quiet rest

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!

Very comfortable stay

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 great experience

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.
