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

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect, the staff was amazing looking forward to our next stay"

Candlewood Suites Watertown Fort Drum by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My room card had to be reactivated for the second (2) night. The "free" laundry is free to use the machines, you have to provide the laundry soap, available for purchase. I had a suite, with a kitchen / refrigerator / microwave / electric stove top / pots and pans. The facility has crock pots to use as well. Very cool."

Charming 3-bedroom house in wonderful Sackets Harbor with WiFi, AC

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our at Kathleen's place. All the kitchen tools we needed, comfortable beds and gathering spaces, and good showers. Plus, a lovely gift basket to start our stay. Great communication and quick responses to any questions we had. I definitely recommend this listing for other travelers. Our only "complaint" if you can call it that was the distances and general location referenced in the listing. Pretty sure this is a VRBO function so I didn't reach out to Kathleen about it. The home is actually a little over a mile from town and there are no sidewalks to get there."

Allen's Budget Motel

8/10 Good

"Price was good. The amenities limited. No tissues and one paper towel. Room was clean. Bed was very hard which I understand is a personal preference. Pillows were not supportive even put together. No safety bar in shower. I did not feel safe sitting in the chairs, a bit rickity. Generally it was OK but I will pay a few dollars more for better amenities."

Comfort Inn & Suites Watertown - 1000 Islands

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean! Bathroom, floors, common areas. Parking was easy, plentiful and felt safe. Pillows were terrible! Bed was caving in the middle and not super comfy. The room was so hot, even with the air conditioning on, we had to open the window which had no screen."
