An old friend and I were there primarily for hanging out at the Saratoga racetrack, and to also enjoy the natural beauty of upstate New York. Hotel is located within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. Hotel staff, including front desk, room attendants, restaurant and bar servers all very friendly and accommodating. The shuttle service provided was such an added bonus during our 4 night stay. Art, our driver during day trips, is an absolute gem. He is super friendly, and very knowledgeable of the area and it’s history. Although this was not my 1st visit to Saratoga Springs, it was surely the most memorable. I look forward to another stay at this hotel next summer.
