Stayed here three times when touring Boldt Castle in the Fall. The otter was about 4 feet long and looked at me while I was sitting on the dock. Nice rooms and walking distance to the center of Alexandria Bay. Marriage parties stayed here, yet it was quiet.

My husband and I recently finished our annual stay in the beautiful Thousand Islands. We have been staying at The Otter Creek Inn for the last 8 years and always enjoy ourselves. The hotel is very clean and affordable. We have always enjoyed ourselves at this hotel and know the owners quite well. They know the area well and are... More

We expected something a bit nicer. The rooms are clean but never updated. It's like a Best Western from 30 years ago. Staff nice and place is quiet but no breakfast. It is within walking distance of the small town. Breakfast can be gotten at Rileys which is next to the Uncle Sam dock.

The Otter Creek Inn is essentially a no-frills motel - you get the basics, not much more - so choose this place if you plan on traveling around and being out and about a lot. The innkeeper was solid for service in regards to arriving late the first night we were there, and also in switching rooms when the bed... More

We found this on trip advisor and it was very highly recommended (#2). Rooms were clean and comfy. Only a few blocks from main town and eateries. We were able to put our kayaks in right there although they have some for guest use. Debbie & Dennis, owners were very accommodating . Reasonable price for room. Highly recommend this motel.

We stayed 1 night because we wanted to experience the Uncle Sam Cruise and it was a perfect location. Everything close, don't need to move your car,just park it and walk around. We felt price was a bit high for such an "old" MOTEL type room,had that old musty smell, but it did the trick and it was only 1... More

Alexandria Bay is a compact town with virtually everything from the boat docks (to see Singer and Boldt Castles with Uncle Sam Cruises), to restaurants, to shops, to the post office, to churches all within easy walking distance of Otter Creek Inn. The owners are very helpful with local directions including a really good lookout spot overlooking Heart Island (Boldt... More

Stayed 4 days and barely had to use our car. Great location - quick walk to town. Exceptionally clean and well maintained room and motel. Owners treated us like B&B guests - friendly, helpful and caring. Highly recommended in every way (visit July 2011).

We were greeted warmly and found this to be a good basic motel, clean and comfortable. Great location only a 5 minute walk to the main section of town. I do agree with an earlier reviewer that a coffee maker with standard packets of coffee should be expected. We made good use of the refrigerator. The television volume control was... More
