Top Wellesley Island Hotel Reviews

Capt.'s Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice clean quiet hotel, very close to Alexandria Bay, within walking distance. The only complaint is that the internet was not good or have a strong signal. Highly recommend"

Capt. Thomson's Resort

8/10 Good

"Booked late so ended up with a balcony room over the Uncle Sam tour boats. On occasion would smell the gas fumes when taking off or coming back to the dock. View was still nice. Did not use the pool. Room was big enough. It appeared clean but then realized floor could have used a mopping after I dripped some water on it and wiped it up. The crevices by the tub floor could have been a lot cleaner IMO. Plenty of towels. In a good location if you like to be in a touristy area."

Riveredge Resort

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our time at Riveredge resort. Key highlights include : great location near the thousand island tour cruises, friendly staff, great well-maintained on-site restaurant and bar with delicious food, good ambience, nice and clean rooms Some areas of improvement: some renovations are needed particularly for the washroom tub and the gym (can add some gym machines or greater level of dumbbells). Having a balcony is nice. We would request if they can be cleaned a bit more regularly to take down spider webs so that people like us can enjoy it more. Overall: we would recommend a stay and would go back to stay here when visiting Alexandria Bay"

Bonnie Castle Resort & Marina

8/10 Good

"Staff were very nice. Room was clean although it’s an older building."
