Saratoga Motels Update
Looks like I'll be able to squeze in a day at the end of the month. I know there's been many threads but with it being a bit slow has anyone seen a bargin in and around Toga?
Have very limited budget and just need a place to crash. Thanks, Scott

Best I have found is in albany....Days Inn on Wolf rd. about $75.00 a night. Anything in Saratoga has been at least $300/nt. Don't know if it is a dump or not. Have it tentatively booked 8/16-17, although I am looking for other options closer.

What about on a Tuesday night? Do you think they have better deals/rates on an "off" night?

I stayed there for a couple days several years back...don't know what the name of the place was, but it was a cheap motel off the main drag coming into Saratoga (S.Broadway-Rt 9?)...right next to a BBQ joint...believe it was just South of the state park. I have no idea if it's still there or not, but I'm sure it was under a hundred bucks a night & if I remember right, only about 10-15 minutes away. Good luck.

There are two places right near PJ's BBQ on RT. 9 that are pretty cheap.
Top Hill Motel Design Motel If you're willing to go an exit or two down, there are even more. I was able to call and get a room at the Community Court Motel at Congress Park for $129+tax next Tuesday night. Thought that was a pretty good deal. Their listed price online was at last $50 more. Here is a link to a list of places to stay. Might want to call and see what type of rate you can score by phone. http://www.saratoga.org/visitors/whe...unty/index.asp |

Check out the Best Western just south of downtown. It's relatively new, not downtown, and below the radar a bit. You'll be able to get a better deal during the week. Last year, my friend got weeknights for under $125 and this year they have vacancies from what I heard.
With some of the places up and down Rt. 9/9P you might want to be a bit careful. Eric |

I called several area motels this morning and all gave the standard price, even when I pushed them. Having said that, they're hopeing business lost comes back at the end of the meet. One place said that if you call a few days before the date you're going they have dropped from $125 to $90 and I would think others would do similar. The poster who said they got Community Court for $129, that's the lowest I've heard them in years and years.

RE: Community Court. Last week I called it was $159. Last night was $129. So what Spyder says above is probably right on.

Anybody still going I suggest calling the day before and getting the owner on the line. Give them a good story and you'll get a heck of a deal. I got a $199 motel for $139 downtown.

This is more of a housing update...
It seems like a lot of the houses in the area that are earmarked for Track Rentals are doing at least some sort of discount this year. Our group was able to get a place a mile from the track for less then we paid for a place in Gansevoort the last five years. I have used Racing City Realty, and they have a specials page up for the track. They have always been good to our group. Just a thought for those looking for a longer stay. |

Just got this one for $119 a night around opening day. Supposedly it's only 5 miles from the track. Looking foward to having some Carolina BBQ!

Seems like good rates on Priceline for the Inn at Saratoga. I got a Sunday for $201. They seem booked pretty well on Fri/Sat and rates are higher.
I called hotel directly. May be worth looking into if anyone is going on off days. Got Saratoga tix in the mail last week. Life is good... |

Try the Adirondack Inn. They had vacancies.
Everyplace is down. Independently owned places will deal. They would rather know they have sold a room rather than rely on a drive up. Eric |
