Average stay
The room we got was spacious and included a desk and a small sitting area; it was decorated in an old country style. The breakfast was limited. Free parking is available nearby

Nice, clean hotel. NOTE - NO ELEVATOR. I did not request first floor. When I arrived, they didn't have a first floor room. However they did get me one. I'm in my 70's and an elevator is needed when not on the first floor. Furniture is heavy older style. Seating was good, but chairs were hard to move. It would be nice if there were an adjustable office chair. Armchair would not go under the desk. Good TV and show selection. Location in town is great. Walk out the door and you are in downtown Potsdam. If I were younger and more fit, I would stay there again. Should I go back again, I may check out the Hampton Inn, farther away.
