The Clarkson Inn
The Clarkson Inn offers a variety of amenities including parking, a restaurant, WiFi/internet, pet-friendly accommodations, laundry facilities, non-smoking rooms, breakfast, air conditioning, a 24/7 front desk, a business center, and meeting rooms.
I reserved a one queen bed room at the Clarkson Inn for Monday, February 24, 2025. It was an unbelievably high rate, as it was the last room of its kind available. Upon checking in, I was informed through signage that the Inn was under renovation. The hotel was cluttered and dirty. Once I arrived at my room, I discovered that I had a two bed room, which was not the last one and I was therefore overcharged. The room was dirty in places; there was mold in the bathroom; the bathroom ceiling needed repair, the furniture needed refinishing or replacement; there were cup/mug stains on the wooden and marble furniture tops; and the chairs were rickety – I was afraid to sit in them. I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible the next morning – I felt so dirty. The hotel should have been closed under such conditions. Shame on Best Western. I will never stay at one of their establishments again.
My reservation was switched to a different hotel which was found out upon arrival. No advance notice and the front desk staff was not accommodating. Considering I made the reservations four months prior its disappointing as it was now a 30 min walk from the venues I had reservations at vs. a five min walk. Unfortunately the options in Potsdam are extremely limited so no other options for future visits.
Pleasant stay. The room was clean, beds comfortable, staff was friendly and polite.
Very clean, attentive staff, excellent location. What's not to like?.

Enjoyed my stay immensely—close to lots of businesses.
Older style hotel, clean, good breakfast. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was so much more than expected…complete with a waffle station, eggs, sausage, bagels and anything else we needed. Top notch hotel. We highly recommend the Clarkson Inn to anyone passing thru Potsdam. FYI, the Farmers Market behind the Clarkson Inn was a bonus this morning.
Homey feeling, charming, friendly, safe and great price!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I’m in a room facing part of the river in the back. I love this room. One Queen bed with plenty of space for one of two people to move around. Love the decor. There was a couple of things I could overlook because of the rest I love. I would stay here again!
Quaint hotel, clean. Staff very friendly; good breakfast. Would recommend to family and friends.
