The Scottish Inn used to be a run-down and poorly-maintained mom-and-pop motel called The Nomad. The current owners have completely overhauled and modernized the establishment. Now the rooms are up-to-date, clean, attractive, well-furnished and comfortable. This is not a high-end-luxury area. However, for travelers looking for an economical place to stay that is close to practical retail and dining establishments, the Scottish in is an excellent choice. A Walmart store is just one minute up the road to the west. A tasty down-home restaurant called Eben’s Hearth is just a couple minutes away in the other direction. Gas stations, additional practical stores and eateries can be found by driving into Potsdam, crossing the bridge on the left and going north toward the retail strip on outer Market Street. Downtown Potsdam is very small and most of the beautiful historic storefronts are empty. This area would be a perfect spot for an arts festival looking for a location. There is a beautiful park next to the river. This is a college town for students from working-class families. If you’re looking for a friendly, practical, no-nonsense place to stay, eat and shop, you should definitely consider staying at the Scottish Inn and exploring the area.

Very clean. Nice owners. Very basic. No usb to charge devices. Being a senior citizen, I would like to have hand holds in shower as I’m not real steady on my feet. Also, bring your own toiletries as there is not much supplied. I would probably stay here again.

Comfortable but basic.

Hotel is older, but appears to recently renovated. We arrived late the first night, and declined maid service the 2nd day since my husband wasn't feeling well. We had them give us fresh towels and empty the trash. Room def needed attention the next day and I left the Maid Service please placard on the door. We returned that evening to a room that hadn't been touched. The facility is in close proximity to stores etc. Breakfast was all cereal and sweets. No yogurt or protein . For the $$, it was acceptable..but basic.

This an older motel but the owners have put a lot into the furnishings, window treatments & decor. It is also very clean. They also have a small area where you can have coffee along with some breakfast items in the morning. Would definitely stay there again.
