Great place for the price
My husband and I stayed 2 nights. The room was updated for an older motel. It was decorated very nice with very comfortable beds, great pillows and nice bedding. It was quite and was surprised to get a voucher for a great breakfast sandwich and coffee from a deli next door. It was a short drive into town and to the track. Would definitely stay again.

This place has a lot of potential but whoever owns it is not giving it the love it deserves. Dark, depressing room. Didn’t even consider showering there. Okay, it’s Saratoga in the high season but seriously.

Very ordinary, nothing special
Very ordinary roadside motel. Couldn’t sign in on device, left a phone message & subsequently received the door code on device. Difficulty adjusting the air conditioning wall unit. It was very loud when turning off & on. No Kleenex.

Great option
We were in the area for a wedding and we’re astounded at the astronomical prices of hotels - how excited I was to stumble upon this what a cool business design touchless entry (no interfacing with deskclerks or waiting in lines for forms). The price was very reasonable. The rooms were updated and comfortable.
