10/10 Excellent
"The location is ideal to be close to downtown Alexandria Bay or for a stay over before crossing into Canada. The room was clean and comfortable, the king bed was excellent. Quiet area and really enjoyed a restful stay. There’s a restaurant on the same lot area easy to walk to in a minute which is convenient. Will stay here again to explore the area more."
