We enjoyed our stay at the Clarkson Inn. It has a Victorian vibe that fits right in with the town of Potsdam. Our room was clean and comfortable. We stayed on Christmas eve and Christmas night so it was pretty quiet as most rooms were empty. The only complaint I had was there are just mini blinds and shear white curtains on the windows that let in alot of light so no sleeping in! Not really a big deal for us but it could be an issue for some people. It was a little musty smelling around the bathroom area. It appeared to be clean but definitely a musty oder as you walked into the room. There was a couple bags of chips and bottles of water on our little table which we thought was nice! I would recommend this hotel.

Nice place to stay.
The location can't be beat for a Clarkson University graduation. The staff was awesome, and the place was clean and charming. The only downside is it could use some updating.
