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.

Good clean roadside motel
Not a bad spot. Wasn’t anything like the pictures. My room, #3 was much more worn and used than the pictures made it out to look. That was another room right after it was remodeled. It’s fair for a roadside motel. They have what appear to be nicer rooms and spots to gather.

It was not like the pictures. We got in after about 20 hours of traveling and the room was disgusting. Brown spots in the ceiling, cobwebs, bugs, and a smell. The sheets, pillows, and bed had stains. The bed felt like it would struggle to hold both my husband and I. It was after their operating hours when we arrived so we couldn’t request another room. The staff was awesome though! They refunded us without any problems. They were also nice when we called to let them know we’d be there after operating hours.
