- Nancy (7/5): - location et staff
- Guest (10/5): I truly loved staying there and hope to do it again next year. - The value was great, location was great. Just what I was looking for. I loved my stay.
Thank you The Ship Motel ...
Paul Tollie Nothing, everything was great.
- Joan R (9/5): -
- Wegert (8/5): -
- Kathy (8/5): Great location and price - Convenient walk to everything No coffee in room
- Sally (9/5): Excellent location and friendly staff! - This is the best location. We could park and then walk everywhere. Lots of shopping and food near by and the Uncle Sam boat was just around the corner. My 84 year old mother loved being able to get around town from the motel. The bed we had was very firm and not what we comfortable with.

- strauss (9/5): - Staff location and atmosphere, comfortable beds Wifi was weak
- Guest (7/5): - It was alright for an overnight stay.
We did the Uncle Sam boat tour and the hotel is walking distance to the port. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.

- Franklin (9/5): -
- Glenn (7/5): Great location - Terrific location and super comfortable king bed.
- Guest (5/5): - Paper thin walls...adjoining room noise Noisy...carpet old...dirty...pillows are terrible
- Bonnie (10/5): Always love staying here, best location. I will request bottom level next time, stairs are difficult for me. - The location is great, very convenient to everything. The staff is very friendly. The pillows were hard and flat. Will bring my own next time, just in case.
- Craig (10/5): - This was a nice cozy hotel.
- Evan (8/5): Nice, clean, well-run, modest motel in the center of town - The staff were friendly and were keen to be helpful. There was plenty of parking and the location was great, in the center of town just a short walk from everything. We stayed four nights. We asked for more towels and soap and they gave us plenty. There were some people tailgating in the parking lot, having a good time with friends, but everything was friendly. At one point, the managers checked with us to make sure we hadn't been disturbed by one unruly guest (we hadn't). Breakfast was very modest, but there is a great breakfast sandwich shop a short walk away where everyone goes anyway. It was warm when we visited, and although there was an air conditioner, it seemed to let out an unpleasant musty smell, so we didn't use it. Maybe the filter needs to be changed or cleaned? We would have liked to have been able to use it, but it wasn't a major issue.

- Kay (8/5): Decent stay in prime location. - Great location. Staff was helpful and friendly. Other guests sit outside nightly to socialize. Very welcoming atmosphere.
- Ladwye13 (6/5): Basic Motel, Tourist Town - Very clean facility, more of a "motel" feel. Rooms have outside entries with chairs you can sit to ppl watch. Friendly staff at check-in, and very close (walking distance) to town center.
Within a short walking distance, there are a couple places to eat, gift shops, a couple of bars, Uncle Sam Boat Tours, and a view of Boldt Castle. It's a town very geared to tourists with not much else to do nearby.
There's a small refrigerator in the room, ice machine was in main office, and a Keurig coffee machine on a cart outside of the office, available at any time. Parking was tough; small parking lot (there is street parking). Beds are hard (outdated), felt like sleeping on the floor. 2nd floor is very loud, with ppl stomping by on the outside decking. Cleaners were vacuuming next to us at 9am. Walls are thin, was hard to sleep. No coffee or microwave in the room (coffee maker outside, downstairs, on a cart). I did not notice any vending machines. We paid $200+/night (reserved wks before) for a bare-bones, very basic, outdated (but clean) room due to a "music fest" that amounted to one mediocre bar band under a tent.
A-Bay needs to reassess Rockin' the Bay, because it was, in fact, not rockin' at all! One bar band for 3 hours under a tent is not a music festival. I'm disappointed in the overinflated $ we paid for a basic motel.
- Julie (8/5): It was so nice to be close to downtown. Walking distance to everything. - Location to everything Towels were very rough
- G.Smooth (8/5): Great location - Staff was great.. very nice people

- Brian (8/5): Good clean small room in motel with great location! - Great location with lots of parking and friendly staff. Rooms were clean. Rooms were small for a family of four.
- Guest (9/5): Nice seasonal motel right in the middle of the action. - Location was perfect. Right in the middle of the action. Although somewhat dated of a motel, the room was very nice and the staff was pleasant. No trouble honoring my booking. They had obviously replaced the carpet with a nice vinyl floor, however the bed is on wheels and moves quite easily.

- Jacqualyn (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Overall great place for the money spent - Close to all bars and restaurants Had some unruly guests next to us for a night
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (7/5): We will most likely stay again in the future. Thank you. - We enjoyed out stay at the Ship Motel. It's our go to stay, every time we come up. We have stayed here many times. Convenient walking to everywhere in town. Although our 3rd night stay, we had to be moved to another room because someone flooded their room above us. A little inconvenient, but they were very accommodating to us. We understood why. Very friendly staff. Rooms did have a slight moldy smell.
- Rita (9/5): Superb - It was very clean, beds were comfortable and great location. I would stay here again.
- Deb (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (8/5): Enjoyed our stay will come back - The location was perfect. The room was clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The showerhead in the bathroom, kind of drizzled

- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeanna (9/5): Superb -
- Kimber (9/5): Superb - Location. Room smelled of cigarette smoke
- Catherine (8/5): Good for a brief stopover in ABay. - Location fantastic in downtown Alexandria Bay. Everything right around you. Great parking and very helpful staff. Oddly empty, but it was a Monday night on a slow week.
- Cori (6/5): Unfortunately, everything in Alexandria Bay is unnecessarily overpriced, so I picked this motel because it was my cheape - It was very conveniently located so we were able to leave the car and walk to anything we needed to It was incredibly overpriced, especially for a motel set up. It has not been updated or renovated in probably 30 years, so to ask $165 a night for something that should be between 80 and 90 I thought was ridiculous.
- Anonymous (7/5): Good - Excellent location.
I received a phone call when I got home telling me they found a thermos I left in the room. They offered to mail it to me. I appreciated their honesty and courtesy. My wife asked for a change of towels each day and that did not happen.
- Michael (9/5): Great location, very friendly staff. - Breakfast included coffee, tea, and fresh blueberry muffins. The muffins are wonderful.
The owner started a campfire at the waterfront. Nice added touch.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Love staying at the ship

- James (9/5): Superb - Coffee was extremely good. Had a kereg out at night with alot of options. During the day the had carafe with different flavors
- Ben (10/5): Great value for vacation. - The hotel was the closest one to downtown. I recommend room number 112. Right around the corner is a sidewalk leading to the main center of town Uncle Sam's boat Castle ride was right around the corner. Very economical vacation.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Location to events
- Richardson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (6/5): Visit was only two nights so managable. Motel needs a refresh, staff was pleasant. - Close to the little town. Rooms need a refresh.
- Danielle (8/5): Very good -
- John (5/5): There are comparable or better values in the area. Unfortunately the motel had booked a fishing party that had long rese - Location Stairs to the second were too difficult for my wife. We were helped with transfer to another motel but are still awaiting a refund of $172.05.
- Margaret (8/5): Very good -
- Albert (1/5): Great place to stay but no managment on site - How close it was to the water. Got blocked in by fishing boats that parked sideways in the parking lot and would not move. No one in the office so i had to wait till the owners of the boat moved was 4 hrs late

- Doreen (9/5): Superb - Clean,good location, helpful sraff
- Regina (8/5): Very good - It was clean and perfect location The keys were taped to the door and no one around for checkout at 8:30 am. I understand it’s a small town but I needed a receipt
- Lymell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lasek (7/5): Good - Located right in town, within walking distance of many places. It's a decent no-frills place to stay. The toilet kept running. I told the person at the front desk but it wasn't fixed. I turned the water valve off myself when it wasn't in use.
- Ford (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Good place to stay - The room was clean and it was a very short walk to town. The mattress was sunken in.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Cyndi fell on the sidewalk over town. She had an x ray when she got back home. Now has a cracked bone in her wrist. Wearing a brace now. This is not a reflection on your establishment!No No complaints
- Janice (6/5): Pleasant - friendly staff, great location the room was very small, no place to put anything, needs to be updated, painted, etc.
- Patricia (3/5): You get what you pay for! - Pretty much nothing. It was clean. The tv was so small you couldn’t see the whole picture. My husband was watching football and had to see the score on his phone, because it was cut off. I used an overturned waste basket as a nightstand on my side of the bed. The furnace is noisy and smelly. The toilet seat was broken.
- Cheryl (10/5): Excellent!!! - Location, and the Staff was Extremely nice!! We have stayed here several times in the past and loved the location. As Always, the Staff was Very Nice and accommodating!!! Very Clean!! We stayed in 2 rooms/4 people/4 nights. We would have liked to have a Queen rooms, but through Booking.com I could not order it, unless I dropped 2 people. You could only get Queen rooms for One person in each room. We adjusted to the rooms we had!
- Phyllis (9/5): Superb - There was not a breakfast offered but the location was very convenient! Only a few steps from the Main Street and the boat ride.
- Remington (8/5): Very good - Room was clean and location was great.price also good. Rooms a little small, but ok for 2 people.

- Mirabella (10/5): Relaxing -
- Cynthia (5/5): All in all it was a pleasant stay. - It’s right in town. Convenient walks by distance to everything. Nice curb appeal. When we checked in, the beds weren’t made/changed yet after they gave us the keys. They moved us to another room where the toilet wasn’t working you had to play with it for it to flush.

- Lisa (7/5): Quaint little motel and great location to everything. Would stay here again - Location was perfect. We parked our car and walked everywhere. Never got back in it til we were ready to leave. Just needs a little updating
- Kimi (8/5): Great place very friendly people. - Location was Great could walk to anything we wanted to see or eat. The area was quiet even though the town was crowded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The towels were delivered fresh every day. Will definitely stay again. The rooms were a little small for 2 beds but very comfortable. The bathrooms could use some updates. The internet was difficult to connect. Once connected it was hard to stay connected.
- Zainab (1/5): Horrible - They told me that that my 5 years old child is not allowed to be at the motel! The employees and the manager told us to pack and leave because my daughter was running just once’s on the stairs while we wanted go into our room, it was 9:30 PM and the quiet time was supposed to start at 11:00 PM! On Saturday night we could not sleep all night because they believed it’s a Saturday night and everyone are allowed to stay up till morning while drunk and shout all night! Knock in the doors and having arguments! At the end the manager told me that you have no child in your list! I told them to check with booking.com if I booked my child or not! Then she come again and say oh you have too child at the room! I called the police to come and check how many child I have, it was horrible, my family and I were working so hard to have a nice vacation on a budget, they ruined it! Please take care of your customers please do not send them there. AVOID.
