To begin, we stayed at this motel in July 2022. It was perfectly adequate for our needs. We decided to stay there again last week for one night as we were in Saratoga for the horse races. This time everything was totally different. Firstly, the internet and TV access was down. For $280/night that's the least one could expect. Most importantly was the condition of the toilet. It was not flushed. Somebody (presumably the housekeeping staff) left a deposit. Can you imagine anything more disgusting? Naturally there was no staff member on duty at the time. When I called the provided phone number a man answered who seemed to be impaired or under the influence of something. After explaining my discovery he yelled at me and hung up. We decided we shouldn't flush the toilet as we couldn't be sure that it would overflow. What to do? Use the bathtub for number 1 and go to McDonalds next door for number 2. It is clear that Saratoga Springs hotels gouge their guests up to 3 times their usual rates during race days and the Springs Motel is still the cheapest deal we could find. But for $280/night is it too much to ask for a clean toilet?

Stayed here in July for a Dave Matthew’s concert. We realize that all the hotels jack up their prices during this event but for the amount we paid, we expect at the very least a wastebasket for garbage in the room. When asked for one, the office employee stared at me like I was asking for silk sheets. We had to throw any trash we accumulated in a large trash can in front of the office. The room also smelled of smoke and mustiness. The light fixture in the bathroom was missing a bulb which made things dull and depressing. It also reflected the lack of upkeep which is always a red flag. When the shower didn’t work, we went to the office to complain but no one was there. When we called them, no one returned our call (still waiting). At this point, we were thoroughly disgusted and spoke to a cleaning lady in front. A guy overheard us and said we needed to pull the shower knob VERY hard for it to work. Be advised: If you don’t regularly press two hundred pound weights and are not akin to a bodybuilder, you won’t be enjoying a shower. Period. This motel might make some big bucks in the short term for people who are desperate for a room because they’re going to an event at SPAC (which is very close by). But that’s a very poor way to run a business. For the long term, they won’t make it because people spread the word. We would have considered this same hotel when we venture to Saratoga again if it was clean and decent (no silk sheets needed) but our experience was so unpleasant, we will never stay there again unless, of course, it changes hands. The one star is for the close proximity to SPAC.

This was quite possibly the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Went there on a busy weekend due to its walkability to SPAC- that and the really polite staff who checked us in are the only good things. The room was coated in something sticky (like your shoes made a suction noise walking around). It smelled of stale smoke (nic & THC). There were stains on the sheets & towels- ended up sleeping in sleeping bags. No hot water or water pressure. No trashcan. No smoke detector. No iron. No soap or conditioner- there were 6 packets of shampoo. It was sad, gross, and dirty.

The room was the musty and dirty. No hand soap in the room . I went to the front desk to ask for soap and the manager was disrespectful and gave me no soap. This lead to the manager yelling at me. bad experience!

NEGATIVE 1000! STAY AWAY. FILTHY. ARRIVED TO DIRTY SHEETS WITH STAINS AND PUBIC HAIR ON THEM. I had to go buy bedding and when I discussed this with Bill he threatened me! I asked who the owner of the property was and he said “The Russians! You wanna deal with the Russians?!” He then said “what do you expect for $100 - go stay at the crack hotel across the street”. I wish I was kidding but I am not. I am complaining to the health department on Monday.

I wouldn't even give it a one star review. The floors were disgusting my brand new white sox were black. There was not even a garbage can in the entire room. They had coffee cups to use for coffee not even a coffee machine. As far as ice what a joke, what ice and no bucket. The website also says there's a pool but it's filled in with dirt how can you swim in that. I was awake all night afraid of what lurked in the bed that I couldn't see. The night worker Larry was nice unfortunately that doesn't make up for the rest. When I checked out attempted to tell the day manager the issues and he just blew me off. I've stayed many places prior to this but this one really is by far the worst ever and not even close to a worthy establishment.

This property is a dump. No pool. Rooms smell. Looks deserted. Overgrown weeds. Cash only. Something is fishy. Opened room. Left. Thankfully they did not have our credit info. Stay away. Went by the place later in evening. No lights. Unsafe looking.

Room was underwhelming. The floor was dirty, had to kill a bug, no headboards behind the beds w/screws coming out of the wall where it should have been. The room smelled like smoke and it made sense since the smoke alarm was removed from the room.

We reserved in February. Readng reviews last month made me nervous. Wasted energy. The Motel rooms were clean, new laminate flooring, soft sheets and towels. It's a motel not the Ritz. My group had 5 rooms and each one was fine!! Close to the race track and several great restaurants within walking distance. There no longer is a pool if you are looking for one. We did not care. Totally worth it would stay there again.
