There is no staff on property instead you have access to a room where you can get extra pillows, towels, etc. Unfortunately when I was staying it was empty with the exception of a few towels and ironing boards.

Hidden gem. I have stayed in worse in higher class hotels. It was quiet, clean, cool, and super comfortable beds. My small complaint was the provided bathroom items (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), were empty (just conditioner). Great parking, safe rooms, and super quiet. Do not judge this motel by the outside (which is also very cute), it was an awesome stay. Easy check in and check out. Just far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to take a quick ride to everything. Awesome stay can’t say enough!

I did not rate staff because there was no staff. That was fine because they texted the room # and room code to me. I checked in by text and that was also easy and efficient. This motel is a pleasure and I would go back again. A nice place to stay if you are going to the races at Saratoga.

Renovated roadside property from the pre interstate days-this place had what we needed for a quick 24 hour stay: simple accommodations, clean rooms, pre-check in and a dog friendly property. Loved the kitschy rooms!

It was a great location for our purpose. It was clean mostly. We wanted a no smoking room. Even signed a waiver saying we wouldnt smoke in it or if it smells like smoke we would be charged. However as soon as we stepped into the room, it smelt like smoke. Not horrible but to a non smoker definately noticable. I called the number for the office and someone got back to me very quickly and came out and checked. Also gave us a can of spray which helped. My other concern was the stains on the sheets and the cigarette burns holes in the comforter. Beds were very comfy. Lastly when wiping down porcelein when cleaning make sure you get all the hair. There was someonelses hair stuck to the pedestal sink and everytime you sat to pee you could see it. I think it is guiness having the code locks and being able to get extra towels and toilet paper too. It was a nice touch having the breakfast vouchers. The mexican american diner was fantastic.

Nice Stay!

Our room was never cleaned otherwise it was a nice stay. Only 5 minutes from the track and the breakfas sandwich/coffee from a local deli was very nice. All things consider we would definitely stay again.

The room and bed are very clean. Keyless entry worked like a charm. The shower stall, however, is too small.
