Affordable, clean, and well maintained

This was my third time staying here within the past year. Each time I have found the rooms to be simple but very clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The breakfast is light and limited but adequate. The owners are friendly. Many of the rooms are on the smaller side but it's ideal because I am usually solo and doing work while I'm in town. I would recommend the Scottish Inn as a clean, affordable, and well-maintained facility. I expect to be staying there again soon.

Staff was very pleasant during check in. Room was warm upon entering. This was appreciated as the outside temperature was 10 degrees. Pillows were hard but bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very basic. Good overall value for the money. I would stay there again.

The guy that checked us in was very quick and friendly. The room was basic, but very clean with a nice layout and roomy enough. The property is only a few minutes to the west of Potsdam where there are several dining and entertainment options. It's a very good option when staying in the area.

The rooms could use some updating. Our shower head needed to be replaced and it just could use a refresher. At least in our room. Also, walls are thin, every night could hear neighbors long after going to bed. The owner was kind and helpful.

First it was affordable, and very clean, and safe. Great location for whatvwe were there for. Beds were fantastic, had free wifi for the kiddos. The staff was wonderful, very polite and helpful. The only thing indisliked was . I almost got hit by another vehicle as i was coming into the parking lot, because both of the ways in are labled as entrance, instead of one entrance and one exit.
