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!

We very much appreciated the pet-friendly welcome. The room offered everything we needed and, although pretty basic, that's all we had looked for, so we were very happy, as it served our purposes perfectly.

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.

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.
