Great little motel. The room was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the owner was an incredibly nice man. I would stay here again! Also very affordable. - Che W. A very homey, comfortable, and spotlessly clean motel run by a wonderful couple. We were delighted with our room, there is free WiFi, and restaurants within easy walking distance.

Bed was horrible. Bees nesting in the door moulding. After not sleeping at all on our first of 2 nights we had to find other accommodations. The manager offered to refund our second night as she felt bad. Unfortunately my wife was the one who went into the office and God knows why she declined!! I attempted to contact the hotel several times by email requesting the refund to no avail! Never given the courtesy of a response! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I had a wedding in Saratoga and needed a room for the weekend. I booked the room a month in advance and got a confirmation number but when the day came to check in they told me I cancelled my reservation which I NEVER DID.

This place could be a really nice roadside motel with the exception of a few things that the owners need to work on. The room was ready and clean for our Friday through Sunday stay. The room was never straightened up or had fresh towels replaced between nights. The office was locked closed during the weekend and the phone number given to dial in case anybody need anything went right to voicemail and was never returned. When asked what happened to the towels when we checked out the owner said oh we only replaced towels if we're asked to. Never heard of such a thing. Burned out light bulbs need to

Quaint inexpensive hotel outside saratoga. I stay there during high season when hotels downtown are ridiculous. Very quiet, serene with large outdoor space. Recommended if you need that motel action!

One of the best places to stay when you want to go to Saratoga! All updated rooms and spotless! The right prices. Best of all are the couple that run the place, Don &Sharon! Been going there for years now and they are the best!

Nice clean rooms, decent water pressure in a respectable bathroom. Sometimes you don't know what you're gonna get but we were very pleasantly surprised. Would stay here again:)

If the room was only $50 or so a night I would have been okay with what I was getting. But for $89 a night I felt totally ripped off.

Cons:The room had not been remodeled, dusted, or even thoroughly cleaned since 1979. Sometimes a dated decor can have a charm to it, but not this (fake wood panneling, old tiling, old carpeting)...the place did not feel too clean (old musty smell, lots of dust, cobwebs), we weren't able to get wifi, old crappy cheap furniture, only a double bed, and when I checked under the bed to make sure I did not leave anything I saw old candy wrappers under the bed
