Comfort Inn & Suites Watertown - 1000 Islands

10/10 Excellent
"Our suite was nice and much larger than expected. The only ding I would give the property is the iced water in the lobby had lemon flavored syrup in it. So it was like watered down lemonade and not expected. Just iced water with lemon would have been nice."
