The moment we arrived at West Winds Motel and Cottages in Clayton, we knew we picked the right place to stay while visiting Thousand Islands. West Wind cottages are located along the St. Lawrence River with a beautiful view of the River from the entry to the property. We stayed in the motel type rooms there because there were no vacant cottages upon our arrival thinking that we could move to a cottage the next day when there was a vacancy, however, we enjoyed our room so much that we never changed to the cottage. The rooms were very clean and comfortable as was the bed. The bed was queen sized which was all they offered. The bathroom was a little small with only a shower but that worked for us. It was also immaculate. Clean towels were offered daily. The owner, Dean, was really nice and friendly. He took great care of the grounds showing care and pride in his business and treating us like family. He builds a nightly fire for all to enjoy and we even observed him blowing off the sidewalks for added cleanliness. He also accredited his wife for the nice little touches found on the property and in the rooms. There was a nice little 24 hour coffee room stocked and equipped with Keurig coffee, creamer, cups with lids, ice and even a wine bottle opener. All rooms and cottages have an outdoor picnic table which was convenient. There was an in ground pool which was very clean. We have great memories and pictures of our stay at West Winds. Thank you West Winds Motel and Cottages.

Very cute, quaint motel with cabins. The motel was was incredibly well maintained and immaculate. But it is a bit dated and a comfier bed would have been appreciated. Views were fantastic and the owners are amazing! Would have loved to sit outside the room and have a cup of coffee, but the neighbors used it as a smoking space. Yuck.

Great place to stay!
Love staying at the West Winds! The staff are super friendly and always helpful and the place is well taken care of. The only thing I wish I could change are the size of some of the bathrooms in some of the rentals. They’re pretty tight. The bed we recently had was really firm and not comfortable for me much, although we generally have very comfortable beds so, likely an isolated incident. Overall great place to stay with swimming, fire pit, etc. right on the grounds.
