Free breakfast sandwich at next door deli, comfortable bed, 5 minutes away from Skidmore, affordable price. I almost always stay here to visit my daughter in college.
Nicely updated little motel with great location, clean rooms and a very accommodating owner. Remote check in was easy to use and the owner was nearby and always helpful and available for any concerns.
The bed was comfortable and absolutely wonderful!
The breakfast voucher for the nearby deli was awesome and the sandwiches there are delicious!
Though it is an older property and obviously a work in progress, we enjoyed the stay. Location can’t be beat.
The property was clean and nicely decorated. We had some issues with the online check in process and a missing bathroom window shade, but we did have a pleasant nights sleep and the hotel was a convenient distance from Saratoga Race Track and Saratoga’s restaurants and shopping.
First and foremost I really enjoyed Jacob, he is a very kind gentleman and was very helpful. The room was nice, clean and zi enjoyed the corner room, it had all that we needed and petfect size for our short stay as we checked in after our visit to Grants Cottage. Took a breather before our dinner reservations at The Wishing Well which was a lovely place and fine food. The complimentary tickets Jacob gave us for the Mexican restaurant were an added bonus. If we go back in that direction I will definitely book another stay with Jacob at the Birches. The scenery was so pretty there with all the trees, I got some nice photos. Thank you for everything. Sincerely, Dawn T. Randall
Pros:
I called a day before because I booked on Expedia about the dog fee and they answered immediately and were super helpful about how check in works.
I also will give props about the coupon they give for the sandwich and coffee
Cons:
There was black mold which you could smell immediately and also see.
Bathroom was small and not clean
For this I would not recommend but was ok for a one day stay. For the price I think updates are required and felt the pictures of the room were extremely deceiving. Much smaller and less clean and boutique esque then you would think.
I read the reviews Before I booked this motel. It had good reviews. Nice motel, redone rooms, clean, only 5 minutes from town. Contactless office. Everything done by email. They send you a code to open the door. It was easy. I would stay here again.

A little run down but clean and quiet. Got a good nights rest. Check in and check out was smooth and easy.
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!
Older and small but clean and comfortable with deli liquor store pizza place and Mexican restaurant within four minutes walk. I would stay again 10.minute drive to track and downtown
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.
This was a lovely motel stay for a fall regatta. Property manager was available and attentive when we locked ourselves out! The rooms are newly renovated, clean, and cozy. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.
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.
