I cant' imagine why you would stay anywhere else. My boyfriend and I took our first romantic getaway here (on 9/9-9/10/12) for his birthday, as I'm from the region originally, and wanted to show him around. We live in Ohio now, and he's always boasting about how friendly the people are there. Well, he finally got a dose of where... More

Every room in this motel-style resort has a view of Alexandria Bay. Rooms dubbed "Main Channel" have an amazing view of Boldt Castle on Heart Island, and every room has a private balcony overlooking the water. Harbor-side rooms will overlook the boat launch for Uncle Sam's Boat Tours - not nearly as nice of a view. The room was clean... More

Excellent hotel that we have stayed at most every year since 1994. The place is old but always very clean. Get a waterfront room and you will end up sitting on your porch all day watching the non-stop action in the bay. A 10 minute walk will get you to any restaurant in town. You might want to avoid bike... More

We were there september 23rd and stayed in a second floor main channel room. The room was good and adequate, not fancy but fairly clean except for a dirty window and spotted mirrors. The mini fridge had a strong smell of garlic sausage maybe. but thats not the motels fault. I think the view makes up for these little things... More
