Located steps away from the historic Saratoga Race Course, the Brentwood boasts 12 carefully appointed rooms with splendid race views. Rooms feel classic, but are subtly skewed with an inventive use of materials – an old world character executed with a modern resourcefulness. A short bike ride to downtown, the Brentwood is the ideal outpost for a race weekend or family vacation to Saratoga Springs and its surrounding natural wonders. We look forward to having you as our guest.

Detailed Reviews
We had such an amazing time at the Brentwood Hotel! We had a couples' getaway from NYC and it was the perfect long weekend. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the rooms were very comfortable. Everything in the room was so thoughtfully decorated and planned - we wanted to take everything home! The king-sized bed was sooo comfortable and clean, the shower was the perfect water pressure, and the mini fridge was stocked with some cool beverages, like kombucha, sparkling water, hard cider, etc.
Even though the bar was closed because of COVID, they still had drink service at a window, and we were able to sip on cocktails around the fire pit. We had such an amazing time! Highly recommend.

Rang in the New Year with my boyfriend, and we had a great stay.
The beds have just the right amount of firm/soft, the linens make it hard for you to want to crawl out of bed. The shower and bathroom are gorgeous with the black tile and brass details, and it was one of the best showers we’ve had. The lighting in the bathroom was a bit limiting for mirror use, as there was no window in ours.
Loved the small details like the coffee kit in the room. The bonfire and to-go cocktails from the bar are a great way to enjoy the night without having to go out, especially with the current pandemic restrictions.
The primary reason I’m taking one star off is because my boyfriend and I were shocked at how “thin” the walls were. We could hear neighbors on both sides of our room. A dog next door barking loudly, and the other room’s TV and a couple sounding like they’re breaking their bed frame. Even hearing loud footsteps on the wooden floors and doors slamming nearby. My boyfriend and I were luckily still able to sleep the nights away, so the sounds didn’t interrupt our stay. However, I can imagine this being a problem for light sleepers. Something to keep in mind, especially if staying during a busy holiday weekend.
Location is prime. Five minutes to the amazing restaurants in town and right across from the racetrack. Shocked at how great the price was too considering it’s prime location.
Recommend staying here if ever in the area.

Thank you for spending New Year's with us! I'm glad to hear we were able to deliver an enjoyable experience. I'm sorry to hear about the disruptions from neighboring rooms. There certainly are quirks that come with operating an old building, but I'm happy to hear it did not detract too much from your time with us. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a thoughtful review, we truly appreciate the feedback. We hope to see you again soon!

We stayed here in January in a visit to the area. It's a wonderful place for a night in Saratoga. The rooms are nice, beautifully maintained, clean, and stylish. The bar area is cozy and has great design and drinks. The location is wonderful right across from the tracks and a less than 5 minute drive from the center of town and all the great food. I look forward to our next trip.
The hotel is also extremely accommodating and has been very responsive with reservation requests we made this spring.

I don’t love writing this review, but I want to help guests know what to expect when staying here.
I first stayed at the Brentwood a few years back when they first opened, and I have to say it’s unfortunately gone downhill since that time. I paid $500 a night for what is really motel stay. It seems like the owners set it up and got it up and running, and have now moved onto other projects as the amount of care, consideration and hospitality really is not there anymore.
First let me start with the positives. Location is amazing, you’re right in the town of Saratoga and if you’re interested in racing the track is right across the street. The bed is fluffy and comfortable and the shower shampoo/soap smells heavenly.
Now the negatives.
Bugs: Cleanliness has really gone downhill. There were many bugs in the room, in the main bedroom and the bathroom as well. There is actually an open hole in the wall above the wall AC unit that I believe is where the bugs are coming in from.
Housekeeping: there is no housekeeping, unless you request well before you arrive at the hotel. (I was not notified of this when booking on the website) For paying $500 a night, this should absolutely include housekeeping. Having to ask for housekeeping makes me feel like a bother instead of a guest.
Coffee: there is no fresh coffee on the property offered in the morning, and the instant coffee in the room is $12. For the price point, fresh coffee should really be offered, or at least the instant coffee in the room should be complimentary.
Mini bar: We did try an iced coffee in the mini bar, only to realize that it was expired. This is just unacceptable and a food safety issue.
Amenities: I don’t know how anyone would go about booking the bikes, as there is no one on the property for about 80% of the day. When the hotel first opened, there did used to be someone at the bar who was available to help with any requests, my advice would be to bring this person back. There also used to be a VIP pass for SPAC offered as well, and I didn’t see anything mentioned about that this time.
To summarize, basically the cost is very high for what you are actually getting at this hotel and I’m sorry to see it going downhill. I hope the owners choose to put some time and energy back into the property.

No amount of paint can cover the fact that this used to be a motel (and still is). The main issue we had was with security: not a single person is on the premises and from looking online it looks like the owners are based out of NYC. This made us feel unsafe especially when an Uber driver can easily see what room you are staying in. To make things worse we read online that this motel had previously been broken into.
In terms of the room, the decor is very cold and unwelcoming but may suit certain people’s taste.
The room was not very clean we found flies and spiders.
In addition, there is NO HEATING during the day - only at night which led to us waking up in sweats and wanting to spend no time in our room during the day. This does not make sense given the minimum is of 2 nights.
Please bring your own coffee since the one in the room is $12 (at least at a real motel the coffee is free).
The bar looks like it would be nice but it is only open Wednesday through Saturday.
The bed was large and comfortable.
Overall we appreciate the decor and the great location but did not feel at ease. Our biggest recommendation would be to have someone in person in case of emergencies and also to respond to text messages.

Responded Jan 28, 2023
Hi Jennifer, I apologize that you did not have an excellent stay with us. We put our hearts into ensuring that our guests feel comfortable, safe and happy when staying with us and take anything less than that very seriously. It is true that our hotel is not staffed 24/7, but we are always accessible by text message. If a message is received late in the evening, an auto-reply provides a direct line to our GM who is always happy to help a guest in need or answer any pressing questions. Despite our owners not being local, our staff live in the area and are here to ensure that our guests have a safe and comfortable stay. In regards to the cleanliness, we take great pride in our housekeeping staff, but cannot guarantee that an occasional insect will not make their way into the rooms as guests come and go. We make a strong effort to combat the flies, but mother nature rarely loses. I'd like to dispel your statement that there is no heat during the day as that is inaccurate. Our heating system is centrally controlled and consistently set to the same temperature. It is often difficult to control the temperature in an older building such as ours and as such, we provide a space heater in each room so that guests can control the heat to their liking. To address your issue with the coffee, we have found that guests enjoy our "choose your own adventure" approach to staying at The Brentwood. Many people do not drink coffee and we do not believe that those guests should have the expense of coffee and the necessary staffing expenses related to brewing and serving coffee included in their room rates. Finally, I'd like to apologize for the delay in responding to your review, with the ever increasing platforms for guests to leave feedback, I had missed checking into TripAdvisor. We always prefer that guests deliver feedback to us directly and are always quick to respond and correct issues when informed. If you have any further issues you’d like to discuss, please email me directly at marcus@brentwood-hotel.com. We appreciate that you chose to stay with us and hope that you’d give us another chance to delight you on your next trip to Saratoga Springs.

My husband and I recently stayed at The Brentwood with our dog, we were very excited to find a hotel (this is really a motel) she could stay in. Upon arrival, the room smelled very musky and overall wasn't that clean looking (aside from bedding). I ignored it, this is a renovated motel and I figured it was just stuffy. The next morning, we wake up and my dog is covered in fleas. She is on a flea preventative so they were eventually dying, but there were so many it was shocking. We knew it wasn't from her walk the day before because we always check her before going in. I am pretty sure there were fleas in the room because they were full adults we were finding on her. And the worst part is you wouldn't know because the floors are painted black. We had to leave early because the longer we were in the room, the more fleas were jumping on her. They did give us a partial refund, but I was still very disappointed. Our trip was cut in half because of this and we had to deal with the headache of de-flea'ing our dog. I understand that these things happen sometimes, but we have stayed at other dog friendly places with zero issues. This motel is also under new ownership as of recently, and from what we heard the parent company owns a bunch of properties from NY to Florida so I doubt they really care what's going on.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

The Brentwood is truly awesome. We’ve stayed there several times in the past few months and feel so grateful every stay. Marcus and the staff are endlessly helpful, and there’s something about the roadside motel layout that just invites warmth and camaraderie among the guests. The beds are among the most comfortable I’ve ever encountered. The bikes are great for a ride into town or over to campus. We’ll be back!

This was my second time staying at the Brentwood during opening weekend and the place has gone downhill. Bugs in the bathroom, the bar wasn’t open either night (Thursday/Friday of opening weekend??) but most of all they charged us $500 a night! This is a motel with no staff, should be no more than $250. Gave me 30 min late checkout (but could have been 2 hours if I paid another $50).
I could deal with the small rooms, old furniture and zero amenities, but not at this price. Stay elsewhere.

The Brentwood Hotel is a wonderful weekend getaway. You don't have to be a racing fan to enjoy this horse-barn style remodeled motel. The rooms are small, but designed for comfort. Cozy and rustic with an emphasis on contactless technology to get you in and out of your room without a check in desk. The GM is a warm and friendly presence and available as needed. There is a full service bar with inside and outside seating. Highly recommended for couples/family.

The web site of this worn down motel is very chic. The real place is different. You may like the price, but don’t expect to get anything special like the hype on its web site. The management does not respond to any requests, not even for the WiFi password.

Hi Francis! I was wondering the same thing! The written review doesn't seem so bad and it appears she enjoyed her time here so I'm not sure why the 1 star followed. I asked for the guest to contact me so that I could get more information on how we could have made her stay more enjoyable however I never heard from her. We hope all our guests have great stays and we are do our best to make sure they do!
