I had called numerous hotels in Canton and Potsdam and were told there was no availability because of Parent's Weekend. Called the Potsdam Inn and was told they had limited availability (which was untrue, many empty rooms). After checking in, I looked at my receipt. We were charged $377 for one night!!! Shame on them for price gouging, especially when advertised at $75 up! Room was very basic, the tv kept going in and out.

Spent the night here during a business trip. Arrived late (9pm-ish) and the owner checked me in. He…read morewas very pleasant and got me checked in quickly. The Inn is set back from US 11 so it is quieter and is well lit. One floor and parking lot is directly in front of the Inn. Each room door opens directly to the parking lot which makes bringing luggage to your room very easy. I parked directly in front of my room nd the car was about 8 feet from the door to the room. The water pressure is decent, there was a window air conditioner (can get very loud) with a remote and the flat screen TV had about 135 channels (some duplicates). There was a fridge in the room that didn't seem to get too cold as I had a bottle of water in it overnight that didn't feel very cold in the morning. The amenities are what you would expect with free WiFi (decent speed and connection) and soaps and a shampoo provided. The bed was satisfactory and the room was acceptably clean. The Potsdam Inn is older and could definately use some upgrading but for the price it works for a place to sleep. The breakfast was coffee or tea, bananas and clementines, packaged instant oatmeal, pre-packaged muffins and pastries. I was hoping for more fresh breakfast foods or some type of protein. The lighting in the room is ample and the windows cn be a pain to open and close. There was a window in the front facing the parking lot and street, a window in the bathroom and a window next to the air conditioner that took some manipulating to get closed and locked. Woods surround the Inn on the sides and back. There is a list of TV channels and nearby restaurants provided in each room. Nearby there is a Wal-Mart and a short drive brings you to many restaurants and small shops. I would stay here again knowing what to expect. The breakfast leaves something to desire and the rooms are outdated but for the price you get a pretty clean, quiet (besides the air conditioner) and comfortable room with a friendly staff.

Now for the negative... Toilet was wobbly (not even bolted to the floor), shower has step to get up to it, no towel bars, had to run water for several MINUTES before it got hot, bathroom so tiny they had to put the sink OUTSIDE of the bathroom door, 3 too-puffy-for -me pillows, slight air-freshened smell upon entering, no coffee maker (And no 24-hour coffee in closed-at-night office, safety latch above deadbolt improperly (ineffectively) attached, no clock, no tissues. Envelope on desk/table with hand-written note that said, "We rely on our tips. Thank you." I'm being kind with a 2-star rating, as no harm was done and I did sleep.

They gave a new room which then was infested with bugs all over the room( the ac,beds,lamps,windows,bathroom,toilet) didn't even clean before we got there because there was stuff left from the last people who stayed there shoved under the bed. They refused to give us a refund because we left a light on so in their eyes we used the room. If I could give this place negative stars I would do so. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND. OWNERS ARE A PIECE OF WORK. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

If this can save ONE Clarkson family from staying here during upcoming Parents' Weekend, then I'm…read moreglad I'm writing this review. The only thing this place has going for it is the proximity to Clarkson. We pulled in around 6 p.m. - you know, as it's getting dark. Not a single light is on - in the front, on the side, nothing. We worried that they'd closed or were having an electrical issue. We entered through the spooky side door. My husband, stepson and I walked up to the front desk and the young man behind the desk said "What's the last name, sir?" I balked. Come on, this is 2023! I thought about letting my husband say HIS last name and letting the young man search, and search, to no avail. Because I made the reservation under MY last name... and that's pretty d@mn sexist of the young man to only address the man! A much better greeting could have been "hi folks... what's the last name on the reservation?" The room was just awful. Peeling wallpaper, dated from at least the 80s. Large mauve and tan paisley print... supposed to look like it's classic from the turn of the century, but it just looked old. Neglected. The carpet made you want to keep your shoes on. They replaced all of the light-bulbs with energy efficient ones that were blindingly white-blue in color, allowing us to possibly perform surgery on the out-dated table in the room. Thankfully the duvet and the sheets were crisp, white and clean. That's what got this place the one star. The bathtub had mildew on many of the tiles, and the tub wouldn't drain so I was standing in 6" of my husband's used water. (See pic below.) The towels were nappy and pilly... all unmatched colors and sizes. The coffee was the only thing at the breakfast buffet that interested us, so we grabbed a few cups -- and it was undrinkable. If you're visiting Clarkson for Family Weekend, you may still be able to re-book elsewhere! Do not stay here! P.S. My stepson says the Hawaiian takeout place across the street is very good.

The breakfasts were great and varied: bacon or sausage, scrambled eggs or an egg and cheese casserole, french toast, something a little different each day.

It's also worth noting that the accommodations come at a very nice value! I would highly recommend staying here and hope to again the next time I need to go up to Potsdam.
