Best Stay in the Bay!
This stay is top notch! The rooms are beautifully decorated and there is everything you need inside the room, except there is no microwave. The balcony overlooking the water is spectacular, the pool is pristine, and there is dining and shopping steps away. We will always stay at Capt. Thomson's when we visit the Bay! Highly recommended!

Nice older property. Well maintained and every room seemed to have a balcony with a view of the harbor or river. Spend the extra for the castle view. Town is nice and definitely walkable. Make sure you take the trip to Boldt Castle.

The room was very nice. 2 queen beds. Dresser with mini fridge hidden inside. Extra pillows and blankets in dresser drawers. Nice comfortable beds. Had a room on the first floor. Easy walking distance to the street of shops and restaurants. The pillows were not great nor was the pool. The pool we were told was heated. It was not. Very cold as many people noticed. The pillows when you put your head on them shrink to about 2 inches thick. The balcony has a table and 2, chairs. The room has a desk with a chair. Another chair to sit in was in the corner. No microwave but it did list the room amneties on the site. Which did not include a microwave. But I guess I was hoping they would of had one. Not much room to sit or be comfortable with 2 people. We laid on our beds to watch TV. All in all it was a nice room for my son and myself.

It's in a great location, a short walk to everything you would want, and not too far a drive from a Price Chopper if you want groceries. It was fantastic to have a balcony right over the water. The room was very clean and the staff was nice! The only downsides were the wifi wasn't great, the extra door lock in the room I had wouldn't lock while the door was shut tight - you essentially had to slightly open the door handle lock for the deadbolt to be locked because it didn't line up perfectly. I also wish there was a microwave in the room, since there's a fridge. My other minor issue was that, although I wasn't planning on stealing any pool towels, I didn't like that it said I had a set number of pool towels in my room that I had to use and if any weren't accounted for I'd be charged. It felt too threatening. Overall though, a great property I would definitely stay at again.
