Overall it was a good stay. Only thing is that the room had an odor. The host was nice at breakfast and the stay was comfortable otherwise.

Staff very friendly. TV remote didn't work and I called the owners and they texted me right away. When they got home, the owner texted me to make sure it was fine to come over and he put new batteries in and check to make sure it works. Love the Farmhouse design and room was cozy and comfortable. Bed was comfortable but very squeaky when I moved around. Otherwise, love everything about this place. Convenient to get to stores and dining. Quiet and lots of lights.

This is a lovely little motel. Room 15 was spacious and exceptionally clean. Loved the little in-room kitchenette complete with fridge-with freezer-small stove, microwave and sink. All the amenities were present right down to bottled water in the fridge. Bed was very comfy and pillows were fresh and clean. Property was quiet and parking is directly outside your room. It is a bit dated but kept meticulously and appears recently refreshed. I was afraid an older motel room might be stuffy but that was absolutely not the case - the room had no odor and smelled fresh. Management was attentive and promptly helped when I was unable to lock the room window on my own. I plan on staying here next time I'm in town and would recommend this little gem. The price can't be beat and the accomodations are as comfortable as any hotel I've stayed at for triple the price.

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!
