Capt. Thomson's Resort was a great place for us. We had a lovely view over the river to Boldt Castle. The place was nicely updated, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it.
Gary
Loved the room and location. Walking distance to everything we needed.

It’s the best view of the castle and you can walk everywhere in the town . Park your car and never drive until you leave. So many great Restaurants and stores.
John
An outstanding facility with amazing views a beautiful pool and centrally located.
James
The Captain Thomson Resort is the best place to stay in Alexandria Bay, Great walkable location convenient to the boat tours, restaurants, gift shops, and parks, with incredible views from our balcony overlooking the marina, St Lawrence River and Heart Island and Boldt Castle. We loved our visit to the Thousand Islands area.

Darlene
This resort is simply amazing . From the minute you check in to the moment you sadly leave, everything is perfect . They have the friendliest staff from check in to housekeeping and everyone inbetween .
The room was absolutely amazing . We felt we were on a houseboat as it was RIGHT ON the St Lawrence River . It was spotless with all amenities you need for a great stay . Cannot recommend this place enough.
We get to travel a lot and this is one of our most favor places we’ve visited . We will definitely be back . Kudo for getting everything right to make your customers stay wonderful.

Precio accessible, comodo, limpio, estacionamiento, recibido empleados amables. Lugar para desconectarse.
Marie
Wonderful location eight onbthe river. Convenient to the boat tours. Rooms are modern, clean and well appointed. The staff was helpful and very pleasant.
Angela
Excellent location for tourists, boat tours right outside the door, easy access to restaurants and shopping. Be aware that most of the shops are closed on Wednesdays, but that’s not the fault of the hotel. The hotel is old-school, but clean and quaint. No elevators for upper floors.
Frederick
A little bit of parking space anxiety, a slow draining sink(they might not have known of) and basic cable that leaves a bit to be desired, it does not take away from the breathtaking views, the clean rooms and the staff that was more friendly and courteous than most people that work for tips. I am very much looking forward to booking another stay here.
MADALYN
We had a great time revisiting the Alexandria Bay area. I highly recommend staying at Capt Thompson resort. The pool area is a nice place to hang out and visit with each other. We had a great meal at Bonnie Castle too. The resort is centrally located so within walking distance to the shops and boat tours. Enjoy!
Maureen
The location was very good. The room and bed were comfortable. We loved the 1000 island and Alex bay
Jennifer
Free coffee
Jane
My favorite place to stay in thousand islands very clean, staff is always pleasant a change this years don’t go early to see if you can check in early the charge is 50 to check in early if room is ready. Not favoring that.
William
View Was Great
rebecca
Ice machines not working. No microwave in room
Douglas
Beautiful view of Boldt Castle and the Thousand Islands area. It is so peaceful and quiet and you're right on the water’s edge. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes will seek you out at night and early morning when you're sitting on your balcony watching tge gorgeous sunsets!
Linda
Very nice property, comfortable and clean.
Victor
Beside Uncle Sam boat tours👍👍
Emma
Clean, beautiful view from balcony, super nice staff, perfect place to stay! Will be coming back for sure!!
Thomas
Nicely laid out, our room had a great view of the Boldt Castle. My wife and I (both senior citizens) were very appreciative of the staff, who went above and beyond, to assist us with our luggage. The only downside was that every morning our balcony was covered with dead insects, and the only one who controls that is mother nature. Very enjoyable stay.
Timothy
If you are going on a cruise or going to one of the thousands islands this location is perfect
JOHN
I can’t remember the last time we had a freezer compartment that worked in our mini-fridge (so nice). The bed was so comfortable and the room was nice sized. It also has been a long time since we had a real key for the door. Although old school, it was evident that pretty much the whole area was vintage. Overall, a good stay I would go there again.
Jose
Very pleasant stay. Check-in was late, the woman at the front desk was very welcoming. Nice property.
Ivanna
The room could have been cleaner, as there were several dead mosquitoes on the windowsills and the curtains were torn. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and spotless, and the pillows were soft. The view from the window was absolutely stunning and made the stay much more enjoyable.
Gretchen
Nice place, great views. Clean, easy parking, great location
Prateek
My son got hives with something allergic from the room and we took him to ER. We suspect it is from the room because when we vacated the room one day earlier and took another hotel it got better
Michael
Ok property just too many bugs
Harry
Great place to stay
Sanghyun
This resort is in the absolute best location in the Thousand Islands. The rooms are clean, and the view is absolutely stunning. I stayed here with my parents, and they were completely satisfied. I highly recommend this resort!
Stephanie
Great stay! Very clean, awesome location right in the middle of everything! We were able to walk everywhere. Lots of shops and restaurants.
Timothy
We were right on the water with a deck overlooking it. The room was amazing and clean
David
Great location with great view of the Boldt Castle. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Easy access to the town with lots of dining choices. Ship tour is right next door. Too bad there is no elevator for the 2nd floor. Highly recommended.
maria
Helpful staff answered all questions
John
Great view of the tour boats pulling in. Didn’t need the balcony because it was cooler out. I have to come back and enjoy time by the fire pit.
SHANTANU
Really good rooms
Sally
We had wonderful stay at Capt Thomson’s hotel. Felt very safe, located close to downtown shopping and food. Free all day coffee in lobby was nice on chilly day.
LEANNE
We stay here every year before a fishing trip nearby. Always the cleanest hotel! Staff is always super friendly!
Jhaila
The front desk was very helpful and the room was beautiful
Courtney
Parking can be a little tight. Thr rooms were very nice. We had a castle view room and the view was amazing. Great to be right on the river.
Keri A.
Love this place and stay here everytime I ride my motorcycle near Abay. Staff is really nice, coffee is always on and the rooms are always spot on clean and well designed. They put new railings up on the balconies which look really nice. Watching the ships go by and just relaxing on the balcony is top notch
Susan
Parking was easy, room was clean, the entire facility was older and it needed some TLC. The restaurant advertised by the hotel website as part of their resort closed at 7pm, even though the website said 8:00. I would not stay there again.
Colleen
The staff was super friendly and helpful,the rooms were very clean. I would definitely go back.thus was my 3rd time and it's not disappointed yet
Greg
Rooms were very clean and beds quite comfortable. That said, it was laid out like a Red Roof Inn, in that you entered your room from an outside walkway.
Also, they were very basic rooms, but had very nice views of the river and Boldt Castle.

Robert
location of room right on the water with your own private balcony facing stunning sunsets and Bolt Castle, right next to cruise ship tours, clean up dated rooms staff was great, our only drawback is it was end of season and most restaurants were closing up for the season, but Claton is only eighteen minutes away with stunning waterside restaurant's with great food and shopping for gifts will definitely be making it back next year for sure
Kimberly
Updated room, amazing view, friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.
Robinanne
Easy check in.
sharon
The room was great -we stayed in the king room with the front and corner view it was a spectacular sight to wake up to every morning seeing Bolt Castle and watching the boats and ships pass through the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
Thomas
Very clean and updated room. The bathroom in particular was very large and accessible. Balconies offer superb privacy and catchy view of the river.
Elizabeth
We had a room with main channel view and watched the big ships going up and down the river from our balcony.
Ying
Sunset harbor view from inside the room or from balcony is so beautiful. Everything is good.

Very clean room friendly staff
Linda
Best view ever!
We loved our room--bright, clean, and comfortable. The bed was super comfy--soft sheets and great pillows. Our favorite part was the balcony overlooking the river and Boldt Castle. We couldn't have asked for a better setting. Even though it was October and chilly, we spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the water and several times watching the big ships go by. It felt like we were on a cruise boat.

Quick, polite check in, with good review of parking and policies, led to great stay. Ideal location on waterfront with fantastic views of river, Boldt Castle and many other islands. Right next to Uncle Sam Boat Tours/taxi to Boldt (highly recommend) and Blu Anchor bar/grill (good food and drink). Easy walk up James St to shops and more \"pitstops\". Note: Alex Bay is a summer season tour town. Many bars, restaurants close down by late Sept. Room was clean, well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Diane
This is a great place to stay. The room was clean; it had all the amenities that we would want, including a refrigerator, TV, free Wi-Fi. We even had a little balcony with a water view, which was a surprise.
The staff were informative, friendly, professional, and responsive. For example, at around 8:20 PM the first night we were there, we could not figure out how to work the TV remote; we left a voicemail on the hotel’s phone number. I figured probably that no one would hear it till the next morning. But within 10 minutes, someone was knocking on our door, who said he heard the voicemail and was here to help.
The bed pillows were very comfortable. There was delicious, freshly brewed coffee in the lobby in the morning.
Another thing that I liked is they have a strict quiet time in the hotel 10 PM to 9 AM; so you don’t have to worry about raucous neighbors making too much noise.
We were in Alexandria Bay September 29 to October 1. One thing to note at that time of the year a lot of restaurants are closed for breakfast; a few were open for dinner. The town is kind of quiet, which I liked. Capt. Thomson’s has a restaurant across the street from the hotel, which is open for all meals; the meals were good and service was quick at the dinner and breakfast meal we had over there.
