6/10 Good

The hotel is situated right in the heart of Alex Bay which made it very easy to walk to the shops, the park and the restaurants. It is pretty much what you'd expect from a motel - noisy neighbors, loud overhead noises, smoking outside the window, and people being inconsiderate. The front desk gentleman was nice, but not overly accommodating. By the way, there are no tissues in the room due to covid (huh??), so you may want to bring your own. But it's OK to have toilet paper in the room - go figure. Oh, and they don't enter the room during your stay at all so forget about having the bedding changed. They do put towels on the dirty chairs outside the room but you better grab them quick before it rains. They also have coffee in the morning but it's not in the room. It's on a cart outside the main office so if you want to come out in your pajamas to get coffee, you better not be self-conscious with all the people sitting outside their rooms watching you get it. The one good cable channel (HBO) had no sound and they indicated there was Cinemax but we never found it. Also the pillows were so hard my ears kept going numb. But like I said, it's what you'd expect from a motel. From now on, only AirBnb's for me.

4/10 Fair

The new owners should not have bought a motel that is located in a party town. They were rude to some of the people that were staying there and that paid good money to do so. I will not and would not recommend staying at this motel if you are going to Alexandria Bay to enjoy the nightlife. If and when I go back to that town, I will be looking at other hotels in the area, not The Ship Motel.

Check in early 👍
Comfort and clean! So close to all activities. The more $$ river view motels, patrons had to walk quite aways to town. Make sure to ask for ground floor if can’t climb stairs.
