Room was cute, clean and conveniently located close to downtown & SPAC. The vouchers for breakfast at the 2 local eateries was a nice touch (the little diner next door was unassuming, but delicious!) We will definitely return next year for the DMB concert!

No staff on site but reachable by phone. Very clean. Bed was ok but needed more pillows. Breakfast sandwiches and coffee at the nearby deli were very good. The only negative was the noise from adjoining room was significant. It is an older place with thin walls. Bring ear plugs if you want to sleep!

Upon arriving, I was greeted with a room that was infested with house flies. There were easily 30-40 of them. So disturbing. I was afraid to open the closet for fear of what might be in there!

There is no front desk person and it was a digital self check. So, it was not clear what I should do. I proceeded to kill as many as I could and called it a night. Photo is of one group of my kills!

I found a number to call the next morning and a nice fellow that lives on site answered. He said he was going to relay the issue to the owner. I never heard from anybody again. The lack of an interest or consideration from the management to simply acknowledge the issue with a courtesy call or email prompted me to write this review.

It’s a cute little motel with some simple design updates to the room. Could do with an extra chair and a small credenza to set your stuff.


Other than the gross flies, it’s your typical little motel made to look modern. Overpriced for what is and definitely so for my stay.

Jacob, the reception manager at The Birches went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue with a double booking issue I had with Expedia and secure my refund. Expedia still has an old account of mine from twenty years ago listing a yahoo email I no longer use. You cannot get a human being to help in real time at Expedia. I have tried for years to get Expedia to use only my new account and associated email to no avail. I had only one booking showing on my Expedia app until check in time when ai called Jacob directly at The Birches. THANK YOU JACOB !

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!

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.

It was a great location for our purpose. It was clean mostly. We wanted a no smoking room. Even signed a waiver saying we wouldnt smoke in it or if it smells like smoke we would be charged. However as soon as we stepped into the room, it smelt like smoke. Not horrible but to a non smoker definately noticable. I called the number for the office and someone got back to me very quickly and came out and checked. Also gave us a can of spray which helped.

My other concern was the stains on the sheets and the cigarette burns holes in the comforter. Beds were very comfy.

Lastly when wiping down porcelein when cleaning make sure you get all the hair. There was someonelses hair stuck to the pedestal sink and everytime you sat to pee you could see it.

I think it is guiness having the code locks and being able to get extra towels and toilet paper too.

It was a nice touch having the breakfast vouchers. The mexican american diner was fantastic.

The property appears clean but is not that clean. The walls where the bed had splashes of something. The floor look clean but there were very dirty. Shower also had hair from previous occupant. Also towels looked grayish. It’s nice but they need better cleaning crew.
Check in was easy and convenient and they gave coupon to a nice breakfast spot next door.

This place was reasonable in comparison to other hotels during race season. Overall, we were happy with the room…it was clean, had a fridge and microwave, and only about 5-10 minutes from downtown Saratoga. Super easy check in as it is online and you are then able to access your room. The one downfall was the bathroom…it is TINY…no curtain on the bathroom window, which is in direct vision of backyard, and the water pressure was non existent. A mirror somewhere else in the room would also be a good addition.
