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.

A wonderful stay. The entire hotel was recently renovated. My room was perfect. A very comfortable bed with a couch. The bathroom area is large. Well decorated, clean, and quiet. The weight room was nice. Breakfast was good- a nice selection of hot and cold foods. Very close to Clarkson.
