This is a quaint property, not everyone's cup of tea. The amenities could be upgraded as my little freezer did not freeze my ice bags, some of the chairs in the back patio to the room were past their use by date but what really stood out was the effort put forth by Tricia the maid, to do whatever could be done to improve our stay. That's priceless. It's connected to a first class restaurant which I've eaten at before but wasn't able to fit in this time around.

We were very disappointed to find the restaurant closed for dinner on Sunday night not wanting to drive around town after a long days drive.

Under the beds need cleaning there was a pill under the bed and very dusty. Because it has a dust ruffle does’t mean it doesn’t need cleaning also once in a while.

Great for a short stay at thousand islands region. Very convenient location on main road/highway. Room was large and comfortable. The bed frames were a little noisy and had a soft matress but overall it was okay. Not much to do in the nearby town Clayton, but you have access to cruises, state parks in minutes

Quaint and quiet. The staff was helpful. The only drawback was parking. The restaurant next door uses the motel parking lot so sometimes you have to wait for their patrons to leave before going back to your room.
