“What a surprise stay....wow”

The history behind this place is unbelievable and the owners are fabulous. We were so impressed we stayed an extra night. Worth every penny and worth your while. Even serve an excellent breakfast.

“A real gem of a B & B!”

We loved the presidential theme and all of the interesting books and decor in the rooms. Cozy and inviting common rooms and a kitchen guests can use stocked with snacks and ice, all were so great to have! Hosts were friendly and informative, and the breakfasts were delicious! Would highly recommend!

“Super stay in a fascinating place!”

Rooms were huge and beautifully decorated. It was a most interesting place to stay and the comfort and hospitality matched the uniqueness of the rooms.

Great breakfast.

“Enchanting Stay at the Sherman Inn: A Unique Blend of Comfort, History, and Warm Hospitality”

The price-quality relationship is unbeatable: I've visited several hotels in the U.S., and undoubtedly, this has probably been the most memorable. We visited Ogdensburg just because we saw this interesting accommodation, and at every point, we were surprised. We thought that visiting and staying in a hotel that was previously a school was a great idea, but we found that there was much more that made this place special. As soon as we entered, we noticed the adorable Christmas decorations that were in every space of the school. Jim greeted us with a big smile and asked if we wanted him to give us a guided tour of the place or just show us the room. I couldn't resist the history, and Jim enthusiastically showed us around, adding historical facts about the school and Ogdensburg. It was truly interesting, and I don't think there are more suitable people to bring this hotel to life than them. What better than to sleep in a hotel that was a school with people so passionate about the history and the place it's located? I couldn't ask for more. The room was enormous (I think that's the first thing you can mention when you enter), and I'm not exaggerating. For this price, here you get two or three times the room size offered in other places. After all, your room is the size of a classroom! The walls are incredibly thick, so it's very unlikely that you'll hear any noise. The decoration in each room is different, and you can see and feel the dedication put into each one—all of them are adorable. The room had a lovely Christmas tree; each room had one, each with different decorations. This detail added an even warmer touch, and I regret not spending Christmas here. On the second floor, they have a well-equipped kitchen available for Sherman Inn visitors. And of course, we used it! It made our stay comfortable as if we were at home. Breakfast was delicious.

“Charming bed & breakfast in redecorated school. Spacious and charming.”

Sherman Inn is a quaint, spacious redecorated school that hosts enormous bedrooms with carefully selected antiques and collectibles. The facilities were so quiet, that we did not hear the other guests. The hosts, Jim and Donna, were most welcoming and shared the histories of their lovely town. Excellent stay, just moments from the Canada/US border.

“Do yourself a favour & stay at Sherman Inn”

Wonderful accommodation. We were given an informative & amusing tour by Jim who showed us 3 of the beautifully decorated rooms. A lot of thought & consideration has gone into the styling & history of each room. The beds were extremely comfortable with soft, warm linen. The rooms were large & would easily accommodate a family. It's located in a quiet street with plenty of parking onsite. As the building was double walled it provided a peaceful sleep. Donna cooked a delicious breakfast of waffles & fresh fruit. Endless tea & coffee provided with a story from Jim. Would highly recommend staying here. Wonderful hosts & history to this school building.

“Highly recommend staying here and agree with all previous positive statements.”

I have never stayed in premises as good as this. Everything about it was excellent very large and well fitted out bedroom - very good breakfast - host so helpful in every way. Breakfast with other guests or one separate table. Other guests very entertaining and informative. Each bedroom themed to former president with information on them and books on local history. For what you get the price is incredible. If in this area again would definitely stay here even if I had to change my dates.

“It was so different. Breakfast was great and we were met at the bottom of the stairs by the host with a drink of coffee”

It’s got alot of character.

“Flawless place!”

Wonderful place! A room in this place is not a room...it's a suite! So much space and so much history! Jim and Donna were flawless hosts! An exquisite breakfast, tasty anecdotes and laughter were part of my stay. If I return to the area, rest assured I will return!

“Unique concept worth discovering”

This is an actual school converted into a B&B, and each classroom is now a room, resulting in huge, and finely decorated, hotel rooms. Kids also have a huge playroom and a swimming pool to play in.

“Wonderful, delightful....and so different then a bland hotel room. Spacious and oozing character.”

Exceptional breakfast. Tasty french toast with REAL MAPLE Syrup ! Plenty of fruit and orange juice. The sprinkling of powdered sugar was a nice touch. Loved the history and repurposing of an old school. Hosts were very gracious with their time and talked to us about the Inn and its history. The room was even filled with books, maps of the historic figure named on the room. Hosts made us feel at home. (You could sense the pride in their accomplishment, the detailed touches everywhere and the passion for their work). Will definitely come again.

“A Fascinating historical place to stay right down the street from the Fredrick Remington museum.”

Excellent! Breakfast was made for us by our hosts: waffles, fresh (very) fruit, bacon. All the guests sat together and trades our fascinating stories about where we came from and where we were going.

Huge rooms to relax in, really interesting history, wonderful library, and awesome hosts. Super yummy homemade breakfast with lots of fruits. Highly recommended stay!

“Never judge a book...”

Don't be put off by the institutional exterior. This former elementary school (yes, a whole school) has been converted into the most unusual B&B we have ever stayed in. The rooms are ENORMOUS and very well appointed. Each one is themed. There is a library, a massive play area if you have kids, and an excellent breakfast. All overseen with a warm welcome by hosts Donna and Jim. This isn't just a B&B, it's a slice of history.

“Great place to stay, loads of character and very spacious”

We needed to do a bit of work while there, so having the extra large room as well as other rooms to use was a great bonus. Donna and Jim were also very helpful and friendly.

Absolutely great time. Rooms are very spacious, they are suites. Very comfortable and amazing staff always wanting to accomodate the client.
