Potsdam Inn

Great place to stay while dropping the kids off to college. Clean rooms and very friendly service and the perfect location because you know the kids are going to ask you to pick them up something from Walmart.

My room was tidy…simple, but welcoming. The refrigerator and microwave worked well. The room was very clean except for the air conditioner. It looked like there was mold growing in the vent where the cool air comes out. I asked to be moved to a different room with a clean air conditioner, and the owner was very accommodating, giving me the room next door. There was hot coffee and big muffins available every morning in the office. Overall, it was a good experience. I’ve stayed here in the past and will probably stay here again the next time I visit Potsdam.

Was able to get me into a vacant room when I called past midnight (travel plans fell through). I ended up staying two nights, employees were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable!

I’m giving 5 because I know this is a locally owned business, the rooms are super clean as well as the outside property. The people in the office are pleasant to deal with, coffee and muffins for breakfast. The rooms are dated as far as linens and tv but still well maintained the only negative thing is the beds, super cheap and uncomfortable. I know rates are cheap but linen quality and a good mattress should be standard in any accommodation. Overall had a good stay and hope when we return in the future different beds are here.

Typical single story roadside motel, but clean and somewhat updated. Served the purpose for an inexpensive overnight stay.

Cute family-run motel with cheerful staff and clean rooms. Owner very patient with our late arrival. Made sure I had tray to carry all the coffee, oatmeal, and muffins back to the room. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting one of the local colleges.

If you’re not the picky type, and looking for a very simple setup with a good price, this place is nearly perfect. I have a disability that affects my mobility a bit, so being able to pull right up to the motel door is great for me. I stayed 6 nights over two weeks here, as I started a travel job at the hospital (commuting home weekly). Took me a while to find a monthly rental situation, but honestly the rental is only slightly cheaper than this place in the off-season. Owner/Management is nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and well stocked. I worked overnights, and had zero issues sleeping because the building is set back far enough from the noisy street. Mattresses were maybe a B- at best, but you could’ve probably guessed that from the price. Owners also let me charge my plug-in hybrid SUV, which was very handy. There are several 120V outlets along the exterior of the building. Probably won’t do much for you if you have a Tesla or other type of EV, but a PHEV will easily charge overnight on those. Just bring your own charger, and ask the front desk. One issue worth mentioning. The bandwidth limiter on the WiFi might be too restrictive if you need to work from your hotel room. Which is a shame, because there’s a decent enough workspace to set up in these rooms. I think they’re either overly cautious with limiting the network congestion, or they have a very limited amount of bandwidth to distribute. The connection was stable enough, but that could do with some improvement as well. But in the end I wasn’t too affected by this, since I’m just the type who needed a quick shower and a quiet place to lay down.

Very clean and spacious rooms, it’s apparent the owner takes pride in keeping this property well running and its customers satisfied. All of the staff I encountered were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend for a comfortable, hassle free experience.
