“The Ship Motel prioritizes value and location; it's directly across from dining and an easy walk to shops and boat tours, which I appreciate. While rooms are compact, they're clean and quiet, plus the staff goes above and beyond-a real find for budget-conscious travelers who want to be in the heart of Alexandria Bay. The fresh morning coffee is a thoughtful touch.”
