"We enjoyed our time at Riveredge resort. Key highlights include : great location near the thousand island tour cruises, friendly staff, great well-maintained on-site restaurant and bar with delicious food, good ambience, nice and clean rooms Some areas of improvement: some renovations are needed particularly for the washroom tub and the gym (can add some gym machines or greater level of dumbbells). Having a balcony is nice. We would request if they can be cleaned a bit more regularly to take down spider webs so that people like us can enjoy it more. Overall: we would recommend a stay and would go back to stay here when visiting Alexandria Bay"
