Perfect Spot for Exploring the 1000 Islands This hotel is a hidden gem—ideal for visiting Boldt Castle and discovering the beauty of the 1000 Islands. It's conveniently located near the boat shuttle, and our room had an amazing view. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the friendly hotel operators were happy to answer our questions about the area. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nice property and very convenient.

Check in easy and friendly. Received text saying we could check in early. 24 hour desk staff. Very convenient location. Nice balcony/deck but swarming with river flies on the lower river side. Room was clean but housekeeping was just ok during our stay. They did mop the floors each day but forgot a few things. Overall, we would stay here again as the price was hard to beat for mid-June.
