Average At Best
A little bit disappointed given the high reviews on the place. Stains on some of the sheets and towels, shower floor was slightly stained with some dirt/grime. Bed was comfortable, though and great location.

This was a lovely motel stay for a fall regatta. Property manager was available and attentive when we locked ourselves out! The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and cozy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.

The property appears clean but is not that clean. The walls where the bed had splashes of something. The floor look clean but there were very dirty. Shower also had hair from previous occupant. Also towels looked grayish. It’s nice but they need better cleaning crew.
Check in was easy and convenient and they gave coupon to a nice breakfast spot next door.

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

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!

Nice stay
Very clean place with the room updated. I wouldn’t call the finishes “deluxe” but still seemed recently updated. Furniture very “IKEA” like but serviceable. The cable tv went out a couple of times but came on within 5 minutes. Only a 5 minute drive to downtown Saratoga.

This place was reasonable in comparison to other hotels during race season. Overall, we were happy with the room…it was clean, had a fridge and microwave, and only about 5-10 minutes from downtown Saratoga. Super easy check in as it is online and you are then able to access your room. The one downfall was the bathroom…it is TINY…no curtain on the bathroom window, which is in direct vision of backyard, and the water pressure was non existent. A mirror somewhere else in the room would also be a good addition.

Totally renovated, beds very comfortable, keyless entry.
Unit 3 has very soiled shower curtain needs replacing but otherwise quite clean,
would definitely book again if in the area.
