It cost $13 Night, $48 for three nights because Reserveamerica.com charges $9 fee.

Saved money on accomadations, so I could spend more on exotics.

Then Friday night 7/27, I broke down and went to the Lankmark. It did cost me $150 with tax, came to $162. Place has outdoor/indoor pool, hot tub indoors. The place is decorated with all horse stuff. Pictures on the walls , great pool table in lobby. Fake betting window near the office, was funny. Racing forms, sheets, wireless internet access, great free coffee 24/7 in lobby. Everybody sits outside their room smoking cigars and handicapping. My wife told me she will never go camping again. LOL

If you got the money, this place is clean and it caters to the racing crowd.
We would drive two exits and get off at exit 15 and drive into the Saratogo track and take East Ave. which takes you to the main gate. (15 minute drive)

Thanks for the info. Will keep it in mind for next year as I've already booked a place in Albany. It'll be my 1st trip to Saratoga as well on Travers week.
(Yes, I'm already planning for opening day for next year.)

Thanks again.
