I stayed at the Northern Family Hotel for a month. I was up there from Massachusetts working out on the Powerlines and this was the best hotel experience I've ever had. The room was terrific! Great location, well maintained, a beautiful building and land with a nice field in the back to take a walk around or just relax and maybe see a few deer running around. The owners Mike and Stephanie are amazing!! I truly felt like I was staying with family from the moment I met them until the day I left. I was even invited to dinner one night with them and a few of their finest friends. This is the place I will be staying anytime I'm near Potsdam and anyone reading this would be lucky to stay here too.

Amazing experience, it was quite, very clean. The room had a small coffee maker, with all the fixings for a nice cup of coffee. Very much recommend!

Wonderful quiet hotel. Lovely yards and flowers. Nice room. Stephanie, the owner is super nice and very accommodating.

A well run friendly, family-style motel, in beautiful upstate NY. Felt like a cozy cabin, with all the basic amenities-microwave, larger fridge, A/C, cozy outdoor seating. Would highly recommend!

I stayed here last year and my room was immaculately clean and comfortable. Definitely will stay again. Lots of green space to walk your dog away from the main road. Not noisy at all.

Exactly as pictured on their web site, no thrills, outdated but extremely comfortable, clean rooms, the nicest staff, ample parking, efficiency kitchen, quiet, close to downtown Potsdam and perfect for families visiting students at Clarkson, SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton, close to restaurants. Very nice touch that owners left bottled water, fruit, and homemade baked goods in the room as a welcome

We had a great night stay . The rooms were clean and very cute .. The shower is tricky but OK. The location is nice and serene . I looked out back early, hoping to see some wildlife, beautiful grounds ..well maintained .

Not much to say besides we were very satisfied. Quiet, clean, convenient location. And extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area. Thanks, guys!

Cute little motel on the highway that has been rehabbed and modernized. The room in which I stayed was a single and had all the amenities a weary traveler needs. A nice double bed, a desk to sit at, shelving for your stuff, a microwave, and mini fridge. Included was a couple bottles of water and stuff for coffee in the morning. Up9n inspection everything looked clean and tidy. It had 3 windows I could open for fresh air. The sunset was gorgeous from this location. I only stayed one night - got here to catch some z's so I could hit the road in the morning. The folks that run the place called and gave me instructions on how to access my room in case we they weren't here when I arrived. Because it's on a main road you can readily hear the traffic, even though it's set back from the road..that doesnt bother me, i find it relaxing. It was very reasonably priced and the transaction online to get the room was super easy. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the room was for the lack of finishing touches on some of the stuff that was refreshed. None of them affected the usefulness of the room, but the esthetics of it was a bit unsightly. Also, the bed was firmer than what I'm used to. Overall, it's a great place. If traveling in the area again, I would stay here and recommend to others

After being caught in an April snow storm, we found this adorable,cozy, reasonably priced motel in Potsdam! The owners, Eric and Stephanie made us feel so welcome right away. The rooms are spotless, roomy, with cozy decor, comfy beds and bedding. The kitchenette was perfect for us, as well. We will be sure to come back for another stay!
