Top Potsdam Hotel Reviews

Potsdam Inn

10/10 Excellent

"i usually stay here when i go to upstate ny . people are really nice and the motel is well kept up. nice and clean and not really that expensive compared to the other motels there"

Best Western Potsdam University Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My second stay in the last 3 years. Great staff, everything is clean and well maintained. Large rooms, free breakfast. On the river at the beginning of Main Street, so everything is walkable. Sadly, there's really nothing to walk to in Potsdam, nor are there any decent restaurants. For a town with two colleges (Clarkson and SUNY Potsdam), there's no money being invested in downtown."

Northern Family Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. Everything worked well - Keurig area in the room was well-stocked, nice-sized fridge that had a dedicated freezer space in it which was perfect, free bottled water provided and everything was very clean! Fast and easy check-in, location was quiet, which surprised me because it is located on a busy road. As a solo female traveler I did feel safe there."
