This is my go-to any write I’m in Potsdam. Clean, comfortable, quiet, nice view of the river, near a park just the right size for an after dinner stroll.

Excellent customer service. I made a reservation on Travelocity and requested a handicap accessible room for my wife. They booked a room on the second floor and there are no elevators. Glad I called to confirm reservation. Room was beautiful and clean. Hospitality was top notch. I was greeted by name by the second day. Top notch facility.
