8/10 Good

"The hotel was run by a family who also lived on the premises. The lender who calls himself D was very pleasant at check in. He explained everything up front. The room itself was cozy and pleasant. Hotel was perfect for me as I was visiting my child at Clarkson which was 1/2 mile away. Close to downtown Potsdam where there were shops and restaurants to explore. Will stay again!"
