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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Two night stay with my teenage daughter which was fine but nothing spectacular. Room was clean. Would have liked bath mats and more towels but overall room was fine.
