Residence Inn Saratoga Springs

We were coming to Saratoga Springs to see friends of ours sing at Caffe Lena and we decided to stay overnight. The hotel was very accommodating to us since we would be checking in late and allowed us to have a late checkout. The bed was really comfortable and the pillows were perfect (my pet peeve is pillows that are WAY too soft). Very clean room (even on top of the mirror) Unfortunately, we did not get the chance to use the pool or the workout room. The staff, both at night and in the morning, were friendly and professional. The free breakfast was really good, actually better than a number of others places we have stayed with similar free breakfasts. We are planning to return to Saratoga at some point and we will definitely consider another stay here.

Unruly amount of children running aimlessly all over the entire hotel, so much so we felt we HAD to complain to the desk to get them to stop running up and down every hall, with no resolution from complaints. Enjoying my Husbands Birthday here for the night and couldnt relax in the hot tub due it being full of children that were very under the age limitation posted. Absolutely unwelcoming staff and environment. Kids were still loud and obnoxious with no parental or staff control to be found the next morning.

The hotel is a good choice for a visit during track season. It's about a 10 minute drive to the track. The suites include a full size refrigerator and stove. Breakfast is included. We took advantage of the fire pit area to chat with friends. The hotel could use a refresh as the tables were worn. Front desk staff was helpful. A manager was available when I needed to combine reservations.

The hotel is dated! The upholstery on the sofa is stained. Rugs are dirty. This place needs a refresh. Air conditioner was very loud. The tiles in the bathroom are cracked, grout was broken and toilet needs to be replaced and or repaired. Coffee pot should be replaced. Pillows and bedding awful. GFI had to be reset every time we wanted to make coffee.

Basic hotel with morning breakfast included in stay.

The hotel is not updated. Room was spacious but can definitely use some improvements. Shower tiles were coming off the wall, carpet had a piece cut out, window curtains had stains, ironing board was falling apart. Definitely not worth the price we paid which was $500 a night.

Are you feeling nostalgic for your first studio apartment you had back in the 90s when you were broke and thrilled to finally move out of your parents' basement? Then this might be just the place for you. You might think that, from the $350+ a night rates they might have been tempted to do some upgrades, but this place stayed true to its roots. No annoying USB connections or flimsy modern furniture to worry about. I was a bit disappointed I couldn't located the VHS machine though because I had some tapes I wanted to watch. I did however appreciate the preservation of the historically significant moldy shower curtain liner, possibly an original. I wanted to know who to thank for that and I saw a note from the housekeeper on the desk but since this place helps the environment by not actually doing any housekeeping unless you are lucky enough to be here for a week or more, I never saw her. I guess the note was a kind of 90s version of a kickstarter to raise funds towards the goal of an eventual shower curtain replacement. Maybe it would even be enough to hire someone to pick up the huge bag of rancid garbage in the stairwell all day, or to fix the leaking ceiling flooding the front lobby. I also appreciated that I never overslept here due to the 1000 watt light directly outisde the window and left on all night (very helpful for spaceship navigation I guess) and the periodic groaning and gurgling of the icebox. I think it must have been an electric one so can't complain. That was also helpful to remind me to get up every few hours to dance in front of the thermostat to try to get it to come back on, though I certainly felt guilty about selfishly wasting energy trying to keep the room cool enough to do something as globally insignificant as having a good night's sleep. The free breakfast was worth every penny, and they even had one of these automatic dishwashing machines in the room. All in all, a very nostalgic experience, artfully combining 2022 hyperinflation rates with 1992 decor and infrastructure. Not sure whether I would return though because some things are just better in the rear view mirror.
