Overall Score5.0/ 5
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.
