Excellent Value and clean!

The owner is extremely friendly; accommodating as well! He explained the rules very clearly. Very organized and straightforward guy. I pride myself as a cleanliness critic and I found the room in excellent condition; clean and well taken cared of. Security locks are solid. I was there with my wife and we felt safe there. Plenty of parking and is in a quiet area so no rowdy people around. I would definitely recommend this place!!!

All we wanted was a good night's sleep and a decent bathroom, convenient to Fort Drum. We got that, and for a very low rate, plus wi-fi. The proprietor met us at our car so we didn't even have to walk into an office. We parked immediately outside our room. We had peace and quiet during our stay, though the room fridge was making enough noise that I unplugged it for most of the night. The rather high step from the sidewalk to our doorway was an issue for my wife. All in all, anyone who doesn't care to spend twice or thrice as much money elsewhere may appreciate the Nest Inn.

This was likely an unfortunate coincidence to stay at this establishment when the owner had to visit Toronto while we were there. After checking in, we were obviously given a room that did not have the room code cancelled from the day before and a couple hours after we were in our room, somebody walked into our room.This was after already switching from one room to another. There wasn’t a lot of organization going on and again, I’ll say it was bad timing, and just leave it at that!

Cheapest yet very clean!

Staff was nice, and super clean for a two star, normally you get what you pay for, but in this case the night was a steal since it was the cheapest I have ever paid for a room! If that's what you're looking for, you've found it! And you can park in front of your window, so for a guy with a brand new motorcycle that's very nice :)

Save your money and go elsewhere!

The man who checked us in took about 20mins just to answer the door…he was VERY rude. The beds still had the original plastic on them! Talk about GROSS & TACKY!! The blinds on the windows had blades missing & the morning sun woke us all up!! The bathroom was TINY, toilet paper doesn’t have any type of holder…just sits on a counter top. Shower/tub is gross. Yellowed with age and hairs left in it. Makes sense there are no photos of the tub/shower on this site! Again, the man was very rude and unprofessional. He was obviously upset we woke him up to check in…yet he doesn’t live here so shouldn’t be sleeping on the job. PERIOD! That’s very unprofessional for him to be rude to customers!

This location was very clean and perfect for my husband's one night stay at last minute on his business trip. We booked and paid for the room on Expedia and since this app take awhile to notify the hotel my husband did have to pay again once he got there. But the owner then saw the mistake that my husband was double charged one by the Expedia app once it was finally update to their system but another by the hotel he immediately refunded my husband with no issues in less then a day. He apologized and also gave another call to make sure we received and to once again apologized. I have explain to the owner of the hotel it was my 3rd time dealing with Expedia issues contacting the hotel for payment that this was at no fault of him but appreciate how fast he fixed the issue after he figured it out. Will 100% book again when needing a last minute booking again.

Amazing experience

Honestly never like motels because how dirty they can be. But this was a whole different experience, you can tell they take very good care of this motel very easy to get in contact with someone if needed help, changed my perspective on how motels can be. I recommend you guys to at least come check out this place

Room smelled like rotten wood.

The room smelled like rotten wood. The water in the shower was cold. When I contacted staff over the cold water I was just informed that the room next to me didn’t have a problem. I’d consider the staff to be unaccommodating and unfriendly. There was no vent in the bathroom (nor window), so the smoke detector went off even during the cold shower. Overall one of the worst motels I’ve stayed in.

As a budget friendly property it was very good. The neighborhood in Watertown around the hotel was safe and friendly. The owner walked us to our room and made sure we knew how to work the code lock on the door. The room was very clean and freshly painted. The bedding was clean and smelled washed. For the money this hotel checked all of our boxes on our needs. The local restaurant Moe’s Place is amazing! The throwback diner feel and food cooked right, made the stay that much better.
