What guests think

At Windjammer Lodge, travelers repeatedly praise the peaceful waterfront setting on the St. Lawrence River and pleasant staff, while noting inconvenient off site check in, aging infrastructure, and some maintenance concerns around steps, parking, and equipment.

Room cleanliness is often reported as good, though a few guests found unclean rooms or missed housekeeping. Rooms are older and basic with mixed comfort; several mention hard or dated mattresses and noisy or ineffective climate units, while others found them spacious or comfortable. Guests appreciate the outdoor seating, picnic spaces, and pool, but note inoperative ice or vending machines and occasional pool cleanliness issues. Expect a straightforward stay where quiet surroundings outweigh full service convenience.

We were here for one night. Love the view of the river and river front. But the property itself was not at par. Dated, too rustic for us TV was stuck crooked on a side corner that made it hard for us to watch Got a crick in the neck. The water faucet dripped and the fan creaked all the time. Could not sleep well here. Bed was King size but uncomfortable. They had a cushion that was icky, looked and felt like used by many people and not cleaned . It did not feel worth the value or charge. They have a short flight of very unsafe steps up to the cabin. My husband slipped twice and I almost tumbled down Would not recommend and will not stay again

Beautifully situated On the saint lawrence river. The Stairs to the parking lot were horrible. We had someone with a disability with us who had a difficult time getting up and down them. The place wasn't bad. We only stayed one night

Almost no customers. End of season. It took 40 minutes to get a room where the pass key would work. The cooling unit was too high for me to reach. Fortunately my 6' grandson was there to help. The cement step from parking were in poor condition. Potential trip hazards. But the room and bath were clean. The view and outside facilities were nice.

Convenient to wedding venue. Room was comfortable. Steps and walkway are dangerous where our room was overlooking the river. All uneven/broken and especially dangerous when it was raining. All the hotels on that road seemed to look the same.

Overall I would give it a 7 out of 10. Checking in took too long, then had to ask for receipt after paying in full when checked in. The cement steps leading to the rooms was broken and crumbling and the room air conditioner by the room door was dangerous. Someone could hit their head on it if not really careful.

Nice place to stay with terrific water views. The room comes with a fridge and microwave. The bed was comfortable, and the shower worked well. At least when we stayed, check in and breakfast were nearby at the Gran View Inn (sister property), so not the most convenient - and the breakfast wasn't anything terrific, but the location definitely has a nice view and setting, along with all the other aspects we like in a place. Would we stay here again? Probably, esp if it's cheaper than the two nearby places closer to Ogdensburg. We enjoyed it.

The room heater was broken and had to get a space heater from staff. The tub did not drain, couldn't take a shower. No where on line does it tell you to check in at the other motel I mile down the road before a certain time. Nit the worst place in the world. Once we got heat. the room was comfortable and quiet. Probably would stay at their sister motel next time.

The front desk agent was extremely lovely. Very nice, polite and friendly. We locked ourselves outside late at night and he drove over to give us new keys in less than 5 minutes. The room was very clean at out arrival and they kept it that way during our stay. The housekeeper even folded some clothes we had left on the bed! Thank you very much for an impeccable experience.

My stay was wonderful!! We were in town for the 4th of July to view the fireworks in Alex Bay and this was the closest hotel I could get. While we wanted to do a little sightseeing, I so wish I could have had more time just to spend watching the river, utilizing pool and cooking out on the grill. We did use the firepit, which was great, just don't forget the bug repellent!!! They loved my Pennsylvania skin!! Our room was on the Riverside, but don't be concerned if one isn't available for you, just walk around poolside and enjoy the view!! I would absolutely stay there again!!
