Perfect Spot for Exploring the 1000 Islands This hotel is a hidden gem—ideal for visiting Boldt Castle and discovering the beauty of the 1000 Islands. It's conveniently located near the boat shuttle, and our room had an amazing view. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the friendly hotel operators were happy to answer our questions about the area. We really enjoyed our stay!
