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.

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.

Nice motel

We stayed two nights for my granddaughters graduation from Potsdam. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. They offered a nice breakfast and the decor in the office dining area was nice and homey.

Quiet rest

Last night of a 3000 mile trip home from winter in Arizona. Cute, clean, very quiet. We were happy to support a local business. We had traveled 6 days and this was our 7th night.. the chain hotels in the area were clise to $200/night with taxes and fees. Price was fair here and the stay was wonderful!
