Really cute room great for 4 people. Lovely staff and great location. Uncle Sam's boat tour is only 8 minutes walk. The mattress were not comfortable, so we didn't get good sleep. I think it's time to replace them. But overall it is an affordable place to stay and explore Alexandria Bay

Have been staying here for years! Owners have changed a few times, but the place remains the same, quiet & quaint! Wish they would purchase some decent bath towels. They were all a variety of mismatched towels that some were very worn, but clean at least. Still won't stop me from returning again though, because you can't beat the location, price & its right on the water!!

Disappointing

Unfortunately the facility is run very chaotically. The owner wears many hats which in turn hurts the guests. Stayed on houseboat and it was horrible

Let’s first start out by saying the staff was very friendly. I believe I met the owner and his daughter, both were polite, she was especially welcoming and kind. I booked one room and was called a half hour later saying the room ended up getting double booked. She asked if I would accept a substitution room, which I agreed. When I arrived my room wasn’t ready, it was still being cleaned. Ended up having to wait about twenty minutes. No big deal, It was nice out so I decided to explore and enjoy the bay view. Upon walking down the dock where their nightly rental boats are, I walked through a ton of spider webs. I also noticed how filthy the boat exteriors were! Canvasses were messed up, mildew/webs were growing. Overall they looked abandoned at the dock. I would highly suggest not booking one of their boats for the night based solely on the exterior cleanliness. The big covered patio that overlooks these boats/dock also was very dirty and seemingly abandoned. I know the peak season ended only a week or two ago but the grounds seemed like I was visiting in the late fall in terms of cleanliness. Though my room was fairly clean, it needs some serious work. The floor had a noticeable dip as the foundation has sunk. Floors & walls show sign of water damage. Bathroom also has signs of issues and overall in need of remodel. My bedding also smelled like it hasn’t been used in months Overall, the property needs a few weeks of elbow grease and it would be veamazing!

This place was awesome! Rooms are small, but I think he has they have everything you need. Super clean! The beds are super comfortable. The outdoor space offers many places to sit and being right on the marina, they have dock where you can even dangle your feet in the water. Staff is super friendly and quick to help in anyway they can. I highly recommend Hills!!
