A great stay in a bucolic setting, perfect for watching a total solar eclipse.

Can’t find anything negative to say about the place except the bed was a little soft for me. I have to add that I like a super firm and hard bed so it is just my own preference that I say that. I am sure most people would not be bothered by the beds at all.

Very accommodating and helpful staff. I felt very welcomed.

The owner is very easy to talk. Plan to stay over a weekend as that’s when they offer a breakfast. Homemade muffins are offered everyday It’s a motel. It’s simple and clean.

Hotels in the area are pricey because this is a college town. Our room was under 100 clean and comfortable. That's what I was looking for and was happy with everything.

Owners were nice. Only good thing I can say. Never stay there again.

State Highway 56 Potsdam NY
