Good for it’s price
We were dropping off our son for college, so we just needed an overnight stay. It’s good for it’s price. Clean towels, bathroom, bed. We left early so didn’t know about the breakfast selection.

This an older motel but the owners have put a lot into the furnishings, window treatments & decor. It is also very clean. They also have a small area where you can have coffee along with some breakfast items in the morning. Would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I visited friends up north for 5 days and we stayed in the Scottish Inns in Potsdam for 4 nights. The motel room was spotless; which we really appreciated. The owners were lovely, and welcoming. We would definitely stay there again. There is an amazing gift store directly across the street to browse.

We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly, check in was quick and easy. Our room was very clean, beds were comfortable with plenty pillows. No complaints! We will stay here again on future trips to Potsdam. Our son attends nearby Clarkson University, and this motel is within 5 minutes of the college.

Comfortable but basic.
Hotel is older, but appears to recently renovated. We arrived late the first night, and declined maid service the 2nd day since my husband wasn't feeling well. We had them give us fresh towels and empty the trash. Room def needed attention the next day and I left the Maid Service please placard on the door. We returned that evening to a room that hadn't been touched. The facility is in close proximity to stores etc. Breakfast was all cereal and sweets. No yogurt or protein . For the $$, it was acceptable..but basic.
