Property is very cute and quaint. There are not a lot of options in the area so I appreciate the affordable pricing and clean rooms.

6/10 Good

Friendly staff/owner that gave goodie bag with homemade cookies and blueberry muffins. The room and bathroom was older and not like the renovated rooms shown on website. Would’ve liked a room without carpet. Would consider staying here again as price is very reasonable and close to colleges.

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!!
Kristina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Didn’t stay and cancellation was not complete from hotels.com. Owners were wonderful and did not charge. I suggest you book through the hotel directly or confirm with hotel.

It was a very quaint motel. Everyone is very relaxed and easy going. Easiest check-in and out I ever had.
Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This motel was just what we needed for an overnight stay after getting our son settled in at college. The owners were very pleasant and had a gift bag with homemade goodies for us. The room is clean, beds comfortable, and there was complimentary bottled water in the room. Will stay here again! Highly recommend.

1st Time Stay in Older Motel

Very cute room and comfy bed. The internet for tv was very weak and the floor was "gritty." A rack for a suitcase would be a good addition. Check in and out was great. We would stay here again.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stupendous and was able to accommodate me on a long journey with an electric car and a retired veteran service dog!!!! Motel is absolutely superior!!!
Renée, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed 6 days. The area felt safe, clean, and quiet. They had many food options in the area. The staff was friendly. The price was very reasonable- especially compared to the much higher prices of other places around.
