I am a Marriott man, but given there were none around I found this very pleasant hotel. The staff is very friendly and service was great. The hotel looks very Victorian in side which gives it a very comfortable feel. I will stay here again the next time I am in town.

We try to stay at the Clarkson Inn whenever we are visiting our son at SUNY Potsdam. We will often travel there for concerts given by the Crane School of Music. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We are greeted with a 'Welcome' letter in our room because we have stayed there before. The beds are comfortable and we... More

The wife and I stayed here twice now, and have never experienced such kind and affable staff and management. People are helpful in Potsdam in general. The facilities are top-drawer with elegant rooms with unique bedding and beds. Furniture is also top-drawer. Very clean and supplied bath facilities-manuka soaps etc. Wonderful breakfast room with top-drawer china and fabulous variety of... More

The Clarkson Inn is the first choice for our company when visiting Potsdam. I was able to stay just one night on my recent trip as they were sold out for the other nights. The Clarkson is very pleasant with antique (or antique-looking) furnishings. The room was large and the bed comfortable. The chairs in the room look great but... More

I've stayed there several times on business trips. The rooms and personal service have been consistently excellent. Rooms are large with good views and are spotless. The hotel is walking distance to good restaurants and Clarkson University. This may be the best Inn in North Country. This place is home away from home and makes the long trip to Potsdam... More

After a long cold Canadian winter, my husband and I were fortunate enough to be invited to Potsdam as guests of the Crane School of Music this past weekend. It was still chilly and grey when we left Montreal, but when we arrived in the quaint university town the sun was shining and the air was less frigid. Walking into... More

Traveling to Potsdam for the first time with our daughter to see Clarkson University, we hadn't made overnight reservations anywhere but asked at the university for a hotel recommendation and they pointed us to the nearby Clarkson Inn. We decided make a reservation because of the close proximity to Clarkson (and very close to SUNY Potsdam). The Inn is at... More
