The inside was amazing. Everything looked updated. I loved everything about the room and the stay.... except the smell of the linens. I recommend using fragrance-free detergents. We really loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Wonderful large room. Very helpful staff. Large refrigerator (with real freezer) in room. Only thing less than excellent was the lack of a microwave in the room.

Havent stayed there since 1991, and it was great then! As always it was great 33 years later. No wonder It's booked 2 years in advance. Its always a great experience in Alex Bay.. Even when its a little colder.
