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.

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.

Reasonable Accommodation
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.

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.

Enjoyed my stay
The stay was overall good. The only negative aspect is that I had the room for 4 nights any it was never cleaned. Otherwise it was a good experience any the early check-in was nice.
