We return to this hotel every year for the excitement of being so close to the water. We can watch the ships pass by on the St. Lawrence River and our room had a gorgeous view of Boldt Castle. The office staff is exceptionally warm and helpful. They offer ship schedules, information about the town and the boat cruises. They... More

My husband and I travel throughout the U.S. visiting mansions and castles..What a nice surprise to find two castle's to tour so close to Ohio after visiting Casa Loma, Biltmore, San Simeon, and the Newport Mansions. We found Captain Thomson's Resort by surfing the web. I watched the video of the surrounding area and viewed the online pictures. I feel... More

My wife, when she was a kid, used to come to Alexandria Bay, NY, in the Thousand Islands with her family for vacation. And when they came, they would stay at Capt. Thompson's Resort on the St. Lawrence River. So that's where she wanted to stay this year when we went on vacation. I checked out the reviews, and frankly,... More

Lovely and convenient place to stay in Alex Bay. Best place to stay if you want an awesome view of the river. Staff was friendly and our room clean. Location is perfect for the river tours, great food and shopping. Our 3rd or 4th trip to the bay and never disappointed. Rileys on the River (across from the hotel) served... More

Average hotel room in an excellent location with a great view. Take the Uncle Sam boat tour to Boldt Castle- well worth the money. Check at the main desk everyday for the big ship passing schedule-nice touch!

Nice Room just redone recently. The view was awesome and did not hear the neighbors. Clean and perfect for relaxing and being at peace. Great value for the room type, view and walking distance for town. Go to Rileys for dinner. Excellent choice also.

This hotel is right in the heart of Alexandria Bay. Once parked, you can pretty much walk everywhere downtown for shopping and restaurants. Perfectly situated right next door to Uncle Sam Boat Tours, this is the spot to be. I stayed in an Upper Room facing Boldt Castle. The bay has such a pretty view. The rooms were spacious and... More

The entertaining attention we received from the truly cheerful group of chambermaids always brought us smiles and laughs. Diane and Kim on the front desk were... More
