Top Watertown Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Watertown-Thousand Island by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Watertown-Thousand Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were really friendly and accommodating. The room was clean & comfortable, but the morning breakfast was beyond what we’ve seen at other hotels. The selection was great, everything was fresh & they even had someone there actively restocking & keeping things tidy. There’s a few different restaurants in the same parking lot. We went to Chipotle for dinner & got our morning lattes at Starbucks before heading out. Would definitely stay here again."

"It's a nice place to lay your heads for the evening. If you're looking for a 4 to 5 star, this is not that. Rooms were clean, pool was clean and they service the room daily."

10/10 Excellent
"My visit was very enjoyable. I was here for a business trip and it was my first time visiting this motel. I was very excited when I saw the patio overlooking the water and how clean the patio was. I felt very comfortable sitting outside and it had a beautiful view of the sunset. I got so distracted by the patio that I didn’t even look at the rest of the room when I first arrived, but once I walked through it, the room was also very clean perfect for what I needed. It was very convenient to have a restaurant right across the street and shops up the street as well that I could walk to. This visit I was only there for one night, but I am looking forward to coming back another time soon. Would definitely stay here again."
