Your best bet if you don't want to pay $300 plus a night is in the Albany area. Most chains are represented there.

$65 a night each for two. It was okay. It has obviously been sold since I made my reservation in January. Folks with foreign accents run the place now. It doesn't stink like they do....yet. It is on the Saratoga city limit line on Rte 50

we stay at the HoJo on Central Ave/rte5. its Schenectady,Ny. place isnt much but its ok. clips us for 65-70$ a night, but we spend 12 hrs a day at the two tracks so we really dont care. anything near the track is outrageous, even the dumps. 20-25 min. drive to the track.

I used to be the Queen of finding cheap motels less than 20 minutes from the track. The old standbys-
Cocca's Motel- in Malta, rt 9 off exit 13S, used to be $99 a night. Drive-up motel with about 12 rooms. Wouldn't be surprised to hear the rates remain as there's now an auto speedway across the road (LOUD.)
McGregor Inn- rt 9 Wilton, nothing fancy but usually has rooms last minute.
Landmark- a bit further north up 87, South Glens Falls. Quite nice, w/ race-enthusiast owner.
Community Court- right on Broadway, annoyingly over-priced but still on the relative low-side ($179.)
Stay away from Thorobred Motel, the only one that really grossed me out. Better to drive past and see if Locust Grove has any rooms.

There are several places in the Clifton Park area (HI express, Comfort Inn come to mind) which are usually available and it's a easy commute to Saratoga..hell you can even stop at the Starting Gate both ways!
