We stayed here from 5/19-5/21 and it was great! rooms are clean. It's right in the middle of town so you can walk everywhere! We didn't use our car while we were there. Dean was very helpful on restaurant recommednations in the area. I would definitely stay again. My only thing was the bed was a bit soft for me,... More

We arrived at Alexandria Bay mid-afternoon on a Saturday, with no reservation. Luckily we got the last room at this motel which is well situated in the Center of town, so you can walk everywhere. It is not luxurious, but very clean. We are in our 50's as were most of the people staying there (which doesn't mean it was... More

Our group of about 14 people have been coming to The Ship for many years to participate in Goodwill Days when it is in the US. We have never been treated better. Dean and Duane have always been VERY friendly and helpful. Coffee is always ready in the morning and Dean is always smiling. The price is reasonable and the... More

Group of 12-14 of us will be visiting Alex Bay for a weekend this summer (two years in a row now) and will be once again staying at the Ship Motel. The owner/manager, Dean, is extremely friendly and helpful. Love the fact that it's right in the middle of town, so it's a nice easy walk back to your room... More

stayed there in Sept. 2012. great location, less then 30 second walk to the main street.Clean room and the man at the front desk was very friendly. The price was reasonable and you are very close to all the bars and restaurants. That was our second time staying here .We were pleased.

What a disappointment. Although a two star AAA rating, our bed was awful...sit on the edge and slip right off. Was clean. Room was tired and worn out looking. When I asked about a coffee maker, they indicated I could get it at the office in the morning. What they didn't say was that the office didn't open until after... More

The owner was very hospitable and flexible. I like this place because they are very reasonable and make you feel at home. They don't try to overwhelm you with rules and additional charges. This was our second year there and we already booked our room for next year!

We stayed at the Ship Motel with a group of 6 couples for a quick overnight getaway. The price was reasonable, the accomodations were clean,and the location was prime. You're right in the centre of town, steps away from restaurants, bars and the marina. On a weekend, you shouldn't expect it to be a quiet place. A-Bay is a party... More

The room was average but it was a good price for being right in town. No view, flat screen tv, only coffee in the morning. Accommodating proprietor.

We ended up here after our americade ride. We were welcomed and provided clean rooms at reasonable prices. It's right in the heart of the restaurant/ bar district very close to some of the best. We will make it a staple of the bike run.
