The ambience is great. The retro motel is modernized and fun. We will be back, great location and service.
The staff is awesome and so accommodating. The hotel is great - we’ve stayed many times and each time is fantastic. Great location, wonderful staff, nice accommodations.
I’ve stayed at this location many times. The lodging is perfectly located in the heart of everything. Walking distance to food, shopping, and activities. The lodging itself is affordable, clean, and welcoming. A great place to stay!
Wonderful little hotel for a weekend getaway. Very cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Very close to tons of great shopping and dining options. We would definitely stay here again.
Room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. Staff was very courteous.

My partner and I have been coming here for years and we have NEVER been disappointed. Rooms are always spotless, friendly accommodating staff and the beds are so comfy with high quality bedding. It’s right in the middle of everything Saratoga has to offer, the king balcony rooms overlook all the shops and restaurants.
Easy, friendly check-in. Beautiful and clean room w a comfortable bed and Smart TV. Convenient parking and steps to Saratoga's downtown and great restaurants.
Beautiful room, beautiful hotel, right in the heart of Broadway. I stay here every year with my pup and we both love it! The coffee station in the morning is bonus :)
