The property was clean and nicely decorated. We had some issues with the online check in process and a missing bathroom window shade, but we did have a pleasant nights sleep and the hotel was a convenient distance from Saratoga Race Track and Saratoga’s restaurants and shopping.

I read the reviews Before I booked this motel. It had good reviews. Nice motel, redone rooms, clean, only 5 minutes from town. Contactless office. Everything done by email. They send you a code to open the door. It was easy. I would stay here again.

We very much appreciated the pet-friendly welcome. The room offered everything we needed and, although pretty basic, that's all we had looked for, so we were very happy, as it served our purposes perfectly.

Everything was as described.The onsite owners handled every one of our needs instantly. The neighborhood is very safe and you can walk to numerous restaurants and stores. It is a 8-10 minute ride to downtown Saratoga Springs. We will definitely stay there again.
