Staff needs hospitality training. A stop at the bar to get a bottle of wine to take up to the balcony took 3 staff members 20 minutes too long to be able to even find the key to wherever the wine is stocked.

Almost Perfect

Reviewed By Zachary M

Extremely friendly, clean, convenient. One of the nicest owners I've ever dealt with in 1000 Islands area. Small wish, but I know it would be nearly impossible b/c of the landscape, but I wish there was an onsite boat launch.

Fair Wind Motel & Cottages

Family oriented Motel and River Cottage rental in the heart of the Thousand Island tourist region of northern New York state

Terrible place

Reviewed By P9234DOwilliamm

A comment on our stay at the Fair Wind Motel. My wife refers to the place as the motel from hell. When we arrived we were told there was no housekeeping (due to covid) so make your own bed if you want. If you want the trash out, put it outside the door. If you want your towels changed, leave them on the chair outside the door; presumably for the non-existing housekeeper to pick them up. A note on the wall of our room told us to call 911 in the event of a fire. Problem was there was no phone in the room. The management also left a note in our room for us to leave something for the non-existent housekeeper. As a final insult, on our last day, the toilet plugged. The view of the river was through a space in the trees and to get near, you needed to go down a blacktop road that looked appropriate for rappelling. I won't give you a star rating because, frankly, no star would be to high. William McLellan

Whatever it is that brings you here we want you to feel at home with us at the Inn. Make sure you ask Berny and Valeriee about their custom Captain Visgar Island Tour of 1892. ASK ABOUT THE ADMIRALTY SUITE. THIS IS A TWO PRIVATE STATEROOM, ENSUITE BATHROOMS, FULL KITCHEN, AND AN ARE THAT OVERLOOKS THE FINEST MARINA IN THE ISLANDS. ACTUALLY IT IS A 36 FOOT YACHT. A CLASSIC ALBIN TRAWLER.

CALL US IF THERE IS AN ISSUE AND MAYBE WE CAN RESOLVE IT WITH YOU.

Pleasant Stay

It was clean and the bed/bedding/towels were great. Easy to walk around the entire town. We enjoyed walking by the water and seeing the ships pass by. The owner was pleasant and we will definitely recommend it to anyone we know staying in the area.

Review of Seaway Boat Rental

Reviewed By rashinam

This review is only for the boat rental, not the cottages as we stayed elsewhere. This place was recommended to us by the owners of the house we rented. We were helped by Judy who is a friendly, straight-talking, super helpful lady with lots of good advice and recommendations for the area. Their prices are very reasonable. You get life jackets, a tank of gas and a map. We were given a quick lesson on how to operate the boat, and how to navigate the waters. It was a very easy, process and the wonderful folk at Seaway made it a very pleasant experience. I will definitely rent from them again.

We had a great overnight stay at the Clipper Inn

Reviewed By kkane18

Our room was sparkling clean. The towels were so white and thick, I was amazed. The shower was small but I could tell it was recently remodeled. The water pressure was awesome. For the price, this was a deal. I l liked that there was no carpeting but tiled floors. For a small roadside motel, this is a nice value. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed making my coffee in the provided coffee pot/free coffee.

We love little roadside motels. This one is updated. The room was very clean. There are only 10 units. The owner is super sweet. The location is very quiet at night. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day soon.
