Sherman Inn

Sherman Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic place. The staff are super friendly and helpful and will give you a tour of the facilities and the rooms, as each room has a presidential theme and has many vintage decorations within. Lots of fun in curiosity and discovery. Being an old converted school building the rooms are a bizarre hybrid of classroom and museum. The rooms are quite spacious because, well, they were once classrooms. Beds were comfortable and there is a kitchen room where you can also grab some treats. Really enjoyable stay!"

"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!"
