My second stay in the last 3 years. Great staff, everything is clean and well maintained. Large rooms, free breakfast. On the river at the beginning of Main Street, so everything is walkable. Sadly, there's really nothing to walk to in Potsdam, nor are there any decent restaurants. For a town with two colleges (Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam), there's no money being invested in downtown.
