Nice clean rooms. Staff pleasant. Reserved 2 queens but when we arrived it was a queen and a single. Worked out ok. Kind of noisy. Inexpensive option for 1 night.

The rooms were dingy and not well cleaned, cobwebs and dust in corners. Furniture had clearly seen better days. We sat on the small patio adjacent to the room one night and something came running from the restaurant area across the patio, not a rabbit or a mouse but no one hung around long enough to get a good look. Would not go back.

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.

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
