Ramada by Wyndham Watertown/Thousand Islands NY

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast."

Days Inn by Wyndham Watertown Fort Drum

10/10 Excellent

"I am a Frequent Traveller and I LOVE the Staff in this hotel !!👍🥰 Everyone is amazingly friendly & nice & thoughtful & sincere!!🤗❣️ I just cannot believe there is such a hotel that really CARES about its customers - wonderful & "Uniquely Outstanding"!!! KUDOS to: Katie > Check-In (Front Desk) Phil > very thoughtful & kind Harry > so nice Room very clean. The BEST Pillows on earth!! Bed almost perfect, just the ridges are hard due to the rod, so I just needed to avoid the sides. Bathroom almost perfect. Shower Great > strong pressure! Carpet very clean! Furnitures very clean. Fridge very good. I did not use the microwave. Hallways & Lobby very clean! Laundry Self-help > quarters at Front Desk: $1.50 Wash & $2 Dry. Mini Gym. If U are a Breakfast Person, they only serve toasts, packaged muffins, coffee. I was not sure if there was juice. Make your own Waffles. I did not see if there was fruit. No eggs or deli. I thought was the ONLY Bummer! If U have a vehicle, everything is within 5 or 8 minutes away. Walmart, ALDI, restaurants. Papa Pizza & Wendys are close! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 10 Stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Quality Inn & Suites Watertown Fort Drum

8/10 Good

"We've been staying at this hotel since 2015 when traveling to the 1000 Islands. Over the last 11 years not much has changed - the rooms are clean, lobby is fresh and the desk is staffed all the time. Staff is courteous. We've always had rooms on the 1st floor, but this trip we were on the 2nd. After all this time we realized there's no elevator to get to the 2nd floor! Not a big deal for us, but folks who can't climb stairs very well may want to consider this. As far as breakfast goes, it's like most smaller hotels these days - it's there, but you'd do better to find a sit-down restaurant. Eggs/Sausage/Waffles/Coffee/Juice/Cereal and some fruit. Will definitely stay again."

Capt.'s Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was large and clean. Sink did not drain (at least not quickly) and the shower had a drip problem. At check in we were not informed that there was coffee available in the office area in the morning. We went out to get it every morning which was fine, but being able to get it on property would have been more convenient."
