Lovely time
Pros:

Stay Saratoga Hotel is such a charming gem right in the heart of Saratoga Springs. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed by the cozy, quaint and charming atmosphere that makes it feel more personal than a typical hotel. The location is fantastic — close to downtown, shops, restaurants, and everything Saratoga has to offer.

The amenities really set this place apart. Having Netflix in the room was a great touch for relaxing in the evenings, and the common areas were so much fun — especially the pool table and bocce ball, which added a unique and playful vibe to our stay.

Clean rooms, great location, and thoughtful extras make this a wonderful place to stay. I’d absolutely recommend Stay Saratoga Hotel to anyone visiting Saratoga Springs and would happily stay here again!

Amazing stay
Pros:

Vibe atmosphere and location were everything I wanted and more. The drive was short and everything is walking distance to the hotel. The rooms we booked were cleaned spotless and smelled of bleach which is a plus. The owner was great and his service was more than I’ve seen an owner do. The outside had a great cozy feeling to it and was so inviting.

Family Room is Amazing
Pros:

My wife, son and I stayed in the Family Room and found it to be amazing. It’s so big, four beds and a huge kitchen. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Thanks Steve. Cee Lo is my nickname and I will recommend you to everyone in Saratoga.

Stay Away
Pros:

It was close to DMB concert

Cons:

Ridiculously over priced. States pool and free parking. No pool and I was charged daily for parking. The place was filthy and I was charged extra for maid service. Also rooms were condemned but the city. I do have pictures. Left 1 day early claimed family emergency. Office was always locked with a number to call that was never answered.
This was in July.
Now in September I am fighting for a $263 charge that was just put on my card from this place.

Back In Time
Pros:

I had the pleasure of staying in the Victorian King Suite at Stay Saratoga and I can truly say this is the nicest room I’ve ever slept in. Built in 1874 with original furniture, it was like going back in time. It has a large kitchen, living room area and a lovely,comfortable bed. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi! The room was so clean. Then there’s the stunning, secluded courtyard with a fire pit, I met nice people there and we drank wine under the stars. Stay is a must stay in Saratoga

Will be coming back!
Pros:

First thing, the drive up is beautiful so welcoming and inviting! The owner Steve made the booking/check in process a breeze! So helpful and thoughtful. The room was huge and smelled like it was freshly cleaned. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. BONUS THE FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN WAS A PLUS! My stay was 4 days, each of those 4 days the housekeeper would come into the room and make it brand new again! 10/10 would recommend to family and friends!

Not very clean
Pros:

The owner reached out to us to give us a complimentary upgrade to the Victorian King Suite. Unfortunately, it was not much of an upgrade. The owner was very nice. And the hotel itself is in a great location. However, the room was dirty and smelled. The mattress and box spring were visibly old and had no mattress protectors on them, and the pillows smelled. I actually had to buy 2 pillows from the local Target. The sheets and pillows had hairs on them. The kitchen cabinets and fridge were dirty, and the window sills and shades were filthy. There were dead bugs on the sills that I cleaned up. The air conditioner smelled moldy. Like the air filters were never cleaned. I actually sprayed it with Lysol because I couldn't stand the smell. The jacuzzi tub had a broken faucet, which the owner gave us a wrench to turn it on. I actually wouldn't have minded that if the room was clean. The shower curtain was dirty. Some of the old furnishings and lamps were broken. The cable TV didn't work either. The owner actually asked us to review him, like he didn't have a clue how dirty this room was. It looked like other rooms at this hotel may have been better and cleaner than ours. Not what I want to experience when I'm paying $1200 to stay there.

The perfect stay in the perfect place.
Pros:

Charming, sweet, comfortable and perfect location. I was very early to arrive (11am) and the owner called me to tell me I could check in whenever I wanted.
He greeted me upon arrival and carried my bags to my room.
His prices were the best and my room was stunning! Nowhere are you going to get a full kitchen and a beautiful 4 poster wood bed. Just beautiful.
Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked.
The amenities are great for kids, too.
Basketball, boci ball, and a pool table all in front of the hotel.
Each room came with outside rocking chairs.
I WILL STAY HERE EVERY TIME!

Great location!
Pros:

Stay Saratoga was a great place to stay for the July 4th weekend. We walked to the racetrack and then to town. After dinner, we walked to the motel since it was only a 15 minute walk from town. It was a perfect location so we did not have to drive and find parking in Saratoga Springs. The rooms were clean and the AC worked perfectly.
Once we got to the courtyard by our rooms, the firepit was on which was a very nice touch.
We were also able to use the EV charge by the office which was a plus for us!
We will definitely be back! Gracias, Steve!

Did not feel safe and non-disclosed charges added to the bill, owner is not trust worth.
Pros:

The location of this small motel/hotel in Saratoga Springs was good. Free parking at the site. Enjoyed walking to many restaurants and stores on Broadway and other streets in downtown. Walking distance to the 4th of July festivities and the fireworks.

Cons:

The kitchen was not functional for cooking, the cooktop was 2 hotplates- no real cooktop. The cabinets didn't have much in the way of dishes, it lacked cups for coffee, no glasses for drinking beverages and the 2 plates in the cabinet were dirty. The closet had a terrible odor so was basically unusable. Lived out of our luggage. Stayed for 3 nights and were only given 2 bath towels, 2 washcloths and 1 hand towel. Charges were added to the bill that were inappropriate. Pet fees when we didn't have any pets, charges for credit card surcharge, charge for housekeeping gratuity daily even though there weren't any housekeeping services. Dead bolt nonfunctioning and had we turned it we would have been locked in unable to get out of the room. The entire door was loose that it didn't provide security. The bathroom was missing grout between the tiles. No doorknobs on the bathroom doors. Missing lightbulbs in the lights. The owner Steven came into our room while we were gone without any notification either before or after he went into our room. The room was located on the second story with only one set of stairs for access no elevator. We would not stay at this location again.

Hidden Gem
Pros:

We were looking for a place to stay after driving the entire day and found this property with very reasonable rate. The owner was very helpful with booking us in last minute, they even greeted us when we arrived late into the night.

The Adirondack room was incredible, we loved the wooden furniture, and the space was massive! There was also a firepit in a nice secluded section of the property. Bonus if you have pets as they are dog friendly!

Apartment meets hotel room
Pros:

I had a nice experience at Stay. The very friendly owner helped me figure out the town. My room was very well appointed and beautifully clean. Its was more like an apartment than a hotel room; there was a pretty big kitchen. The grounds are lovely and the location is excellent. I will be back again.

Home away from home
Pros:

What a beautiful property. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable.
My daughter enjoys playing basketball and bocce ball that are also on the property. Steve goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home. My family and I also enjoyed morning coffee and relax time in the rocking chairs provided outside of our rooms.
😊
Thank you again for a great Stay!!!

Want Clean and Comfortable? Come Stay At The Stay.
Pros:

My fiance and I had stayed there for approximately 8 months. I want to say that my experience was absolutely wonderful. It's the perfect home away from home. Steve who is the owner, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. My room was spacious, came with a full kitchenette, beautiful bathroom, comfortable bed, comes with wifi. Cable TV, there's a full gym. Also a BIG PLUS is that it's a smoke free property. Don't have to worry about stinky rooms! Very clean. The entire property is well taken care of, garden. Flowers, theres a beautiful fountain
Steve takes very good care of his entire place.
If you're looking for a budget friendly home away from home lax chill place this is the place to book!!

Owner cannot be trusted - and rooms awful
Pros:

Booked this directly at 8:30 PM on May 27th for that same night after having an issue at the original hotel I booked nearby. Initially for 5 nights- but after 2 nights I had to return home because my husband was ill. I told the owner Steve that there was a possibility I had the leave after the 1st night for this reason and he responded "OK" - never mentioning a cancelation policy. After I left - I called 3 times and sent 2 texts asking for a receipt for the 2 nights I stayed there. No response. This morning I saw a charge on my AMEX for over $1000 ( hotel booked directly online is $158 PN). I immediately called AMEX to dispute the charge. Just now I received the receipt by email showing charges for 5 nights! Never once was I informed either verbally or in writing of these charges nor the cancellation policy until AFTER I FILED A DISPUTE! And, BTW while the hotel is quaint looking from the out side - the rooms are AWFUL. No bulbs in light fixtures...uncomfortable beds...Terrible shower and chipped and dirty walls. DO NOT recommend.
