Top Watertown Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Watertown-Thousand Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and pretty quiet. The breakfast was good and fresh. I have no complaints"

Hilton Garden Inn Watertown/Thousand Islands

10/10 Excellent

"The Hilton Garden Hotel is very nice place to stay. If you have a high budget stay here. With all the extra amenities it’s well worth the cost. I really liked the attached restaurant, the outdoor garden seating and the all day beverage bar. The restaurant/bar is very nice, affordable and family friendly. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. I plan on staying here again on future visits. Ohio"

Spark by Hilton Watertown

8/10 Good

"We spent 4 nights at Spark while visiting our son who is a soldier at Ft. Drum. It was clean and generally comfortable. The bed was not very firm but that's typical of many hotels. The bathroom was large and easy to navigate with my disability, but the water was only lukewarm on two mornings while we were there, even though we were up by 6:30 am. The breakfast options were limited and provided only what might be called "continental" choices: bagels, cereal, yogurt. There were no hot foods, which we found disappointing. Also, I guess I did not note the room's features before booking, but we were sorry there was no mini-fridge provided in our room. We appreciated the free bottles of water Spark made available. The staff was friendly. and helpful -- the desk clerk came to our room on our first night there to show us how to close our room curtains (push-button panel on the wall near the bathroom entrance)."
