Dated but quaint. The property was under serious renovation when we stayed, so I imagine updates are coming. But it’s a nice change from regular hotels. Right in town, by the water, and close to the college. Even a one night stay stop-over feels like a treat. You feel the ambience most in the warmer weather. Winter is brutal anywhere.

We did not know until we arrived that the place was under construction making the lobby not usable because of boxes of stuff. We think customers should be notified of this issue and not be charged full price.

I normally stay at this place and it’s a cute little place and no issues. Last night I was disappointed that neither Expedia or Clarkson gave me a phone call to let me know that they were under renovations. Had I known that I was gonna be waking up to trucks at 8 o’clock in the morning And people pounding on the property I would’ve stayed somewhere else.

The location is perfect when visiting Potsdam. I hope once their renovation is complete the stars will increase. Looks as though the focus is on renovation, not focusing on the areas that are currently being used by guest. The juice machine was broken, so none was offered. Staff was extremely pleasant. Looking forward to see the completed renovations.

I knew this place would be slightly dated from the pictures online, but I was hopeful as I will be traveling weekly to Potsdam, and was hoping to make that my weekly spot, but it was horrible. Right from the start the place was dirty, not dated but absolutely dirty. On my way to my room the carpeted stairs had cookies crushed all over them. First entered the room and when I went into the bathroom there was mildew all in the grout of the tiles in the shower. I was on the street side and the noise was awful, not necessarily the hotels fault as they can’t control that. The website says there are blackout curtains in the rooms which was not the case at all, instead they were dated twist blinds which let in lots of light from the street lights. I think the worst part may have been the sheets they were like sandpaper! I got up and left at 5:45am I couldn’t stand being there any longer. The location is great but do yourself a favor and find another place.
