Manor House - Alexandria Bay

We just got back from a two-day getaway without the kids. Before booking this hotel, I read the reviews and was a bit skeptical, but I soon realized that some guests expect a five-star experience at a two-star price. Sure, some areas are a bit dated—something you'd expect in an older building that has to endure New York winters—but overall, the staff was friendly, and the view from our room was absolutely spectacular. My favorite aspect of the property was that, rather than just a typical parking lot, the grounds are expansive with views all around. I will definitely be returning in the future.

The rooms were very spacious and clean, and the staff was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend dining there; we had dinner at the restaurant, and the food was delicious with generous portions.

This place is straight out of 1985, but it has beautiful views. The buffet was $11.95 and included scrambled eggs (that were surprisingly good for a buffet), bacon, sausage, muffins, pastries, cereal, toast, pancakes, and a bowl of real fruit (not the canned stuff in syrup). It did not have an omelette station. The service was top notch.

Attended a wedding. Service was really nice during service and at the bar. It was super pretty venue.

Great food and wonderful staff!!! Will be coming back again!
