2. Best Western Watertown Fort Drum

"There were no coffee makers or microwaves in the room. They were getting new refrigerators but they weren't in yet but for some reason they took out the Best Western refrigerators without waiting for the new ones to come. This hotel is no longer a Best Western, instead it is Spark by Hilton. There is no longer a hot breakfast. Instead they have a bagel bar. The bagel bar was good if you like bagels. Aside from that, there was oatmeal some cereal and a machine that spit out vanilla yogurt....

Top New York State Zoo at Thompson Park Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really friendly and accommodating. The room was clean & comfortable, but the morning breakfast was beyond what we’ve seen at other hotels. The selection was great, everything was fresh & they even had someone there actively restocking & keeping things tidy. There’s a few different restaurants in the same parking lot. We went to Chipotle for dinner & got our morning lattes at Starbucks before heading out. Would definitely stay here again."
