It was not like the pictures. We got in after about 20 hours of traveling and the room was disgusting. Brown spots in the ceiling, cobwebs, bugs, and a smell. The sheets, pillows, and bed had stains. The bed felt like it would struggle to hold both my husband and I. It was after their operating hours when we arrived so we couldn’t request another room. The staff was awesome though! They refunded us without any problems. They were also nice when we called to let them know we’d be there after operating hours.

Check-in was confusing, no one at the office, it was closed. Instead there was an envelope taped to the door with the message that "key was on the door and checkout at 10". So I tried to contact the hotel (infos on the website & emails) and Expedia, but nothing came of it. Finally, we just checked if there's a room with the key in the doorknob, we saw there was at room #10, so we took that room; 'cause it was also raining cats & dogs. Other than that, all was okay. We dropped off the room key in the key drop box at check-out, no staff interaction. Price wise, it was great!

This was a very pleasant find for us, and if we are in the area again, we will definitely be back. We were in Potsdam for one night for a business deal and this place was recommended to us because it was close by. We have been doing a lot of traveling in the past 9 months and we can honestly say that this room, which has been recently renovated is much nicer than those which cost much more and are regularly rated 5 stars. Because it included a small kitchen, we were able to eat both dinner and breakfast in our room, which saved us a lot of money. The best part though was that the motel was pet friendly and had lots of mowed land for my dog and me to enjoy plus ample parking for our RV. Everyone, both staff and other guests, were friendly and the housekeeping person did a great job preparing our room for us. We are thankful for the recommendation to stay here. It turned out to be just what we needed for a very reasonable price.
