This is a great place to stay. The room was clean; it had all the amenities that we would want, including a refrigerator, TV, free Wi-Fi. We even had a little balcony with a water view, which was a surprise. The staff were informative, friendly, professional, and responsive. For example, at around 8:20 PM the first night we were there, we could not figure out how to work the TV remote; we left a voicemail on the hotel’s phone number. I figured probably that no one would hear it till the next morning. But within 10 minutes, someone was knocking on our door, who said he heard the voicemail and was here to help. The bed pillows were very comfortable. There was delicious, freshly brewed coffee in the lobby in the morning. Another thing that I liked is they have a strict quiet time in the hotel 10 PM to 9 AM; so you don’t have to worry about raucous neighbors making too much noise. We were in Alexandria Bay September 29 to October 1. One thing to note at that time of the year a lot of restaurants are closed for breakfast; a few were open for dinner. The town is kind of quiet, which I liked. Capt. Thomson’s has a restaurant across the street from the hotel, which is open for all meals; the meals were good and service was quick at the dinner and breakfast meal we had over there.

Spacious and clean room. Seems like all apartments have balconies facing water- fantastic touch. I was worried about being woken up by the tour boats parked right outside but did not hear a thing. Only steps away from the main street but far enough to keep the noise down. Would definitely go back there.

This property was absolutely perfect! The cleanliness of our room was like no other place we have ever stayed. The linens were spotlessly clean and you could smell freshness the minute you opened the door. The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions regarding the area. We are planning our next visit here already!

The staff at the front desk was very nice and friendly. The room was very clean and the bed and sofa was very comfortable. It had pretty good water view and so relaxing just sitting on the balcony. The only downside was the walking noise from upstairs. It was pretty loud and someone was walking even in the middle of the night and woke me up. We only hear one person walking and didn’t hear talking. Overall it was great stay. We’ll definitely come back but for the second floor.
