Pros: The Location

Cons: The room smelled like urine. We changed rooms and it was good but they are just not very clean. We stayed on the first floor and wondering if that makes a difference

Pros: The room was spacious and clean. The location was perfect for walking to the town center and visiting the university.

Cons: The temperature setting for the shower was tricky to navigate - not intuitive at all. And the bathroom door was noisy when opening and closing so late night toilet use was not ideal.

Pros: The interior design was very attractive. The bed was comfortable. There was smoked salmon in the breakfast buffet.

Cons: There was no hot water - the boiler was being repaired and the water was too cold to shower. The air conditioner was noisy. It would be worth going back when it is working again.

Clarkson Inn, Potsdam NY

Pros: Well located in the town center, large room with view of the river. Clean and well maintained.

Cons: Internet is very slow, especially in the evening. Really need to upgrade. Bedding is old. $12-$15 breakfast tries to be fancy, but is not. Staff are attentive, but seem a bit bored. They will need to invest to compete with the new Hampton Inn up the street.

Pros: Very close to Clarkson University

Cons: There was no gym. They give you access to the Clarkson gym, but it doesn't open until 10 on weekends.

Pros: Location and room size was very good.

Cons: Caulking in bathroom could be redone so mould does not show. Refigerator was extremely noisy until we unplugged it.
