Top Watertown Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Watertown Fort Drum

8/10 Good

"Staff was great and very helpful. Breakfast was good. Super easy check in and out."

Spark by Hilton Watertown

10/10 Excellent

"I had to check-in at about 10.30 pm and there was no one at the front desk and had to wait for about 10 minutes or so. Ideally should've given not a great review. But then the Manager (I believe he's the owner too) shows up. What a pleasant gentleman he was!! He apologized and explained that due to lack of staff (as its a newly renovated hotel) he had to do some chores himself. From that point, it was a 5 star service. He made sure we were comfortable all along and shared some nice info about the heritage of the hotel. The amenities were adequate and rooms were clean. More than all, the attitude and passion of the staff above made all the difference. Highly recommended."
