We had a fantastic stay at Capt. Thomson’s Resort in Alexandria Bay. Our room was very clean, updated, and comfortable, exactly what you hope for when traveling. The staff were kind and helpful, making us feel right at home. The location is ideal for exploring town and enjoying the waterfront. The views of Boldt Castle from the property are simply beautiful. We’d absolutely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
