This property is a motel so you’re not going to get the continental breakfast, pools, weight room, or any other convenience like that. With that said, because it does not have those things, the price is drastically better. Even though the property looks a bit older on the outside the rooms are very up-to-date. More importantly, I found the room to be exceptionally clean and comfortable. I felt very safe due to the multiple locks and lack of traffic in the area. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful. When checking in I found the staff to be very friendly and they even provided us with a care basket of two muffins and a cookie. One of my children attends a local university and this motel will probably be our place to stay for future trips to visit.

Very clean. 4 out of our 5 rooms were renovated I’m sure they’re still working on that. Staff very courteous and accommodating.

Best little kept secret!

If you are staying in Potsdam, this is the motel of all motels! We checked into a very homey barn with 2 doggies and a kitty. The owner greeted us with a bag of homemade goodies and was just the sweetest! Rooms were quaint and super clean! We will be visiting there every time we in the area!!
