We booked a last minute trip to Saratoga:
-No blow dryers in the room
-Pool area is in utter disrepair, a fall and injury risk on the uneven pavement, the pool itself was cloudy and dirty
3. The rooms were not clean, musty, and dim with few outlets
4. A duck did fly into pool, then stood by pool edge. Although he was cute, it wasn't cute that she pooped on the ledge of the pool
-We parked our car by the second level steps. Next morning we had a small, noticeable dent in our car. Staff said camera footage would be reviewed...
-Price changed nightly. People who had arrived were leaving after one night because of the extreme cost-
-Somewhat walkable to downtown
-We had to request a plunger, clean towels and additional toilet paper over our three day stay
We made the best of our trip and accommodations as we were looking forward to this get-away time; however, we would not ever stay at the Turf and Spa Motel again. It is run down and I cannot emphasize how overpriced it is. For $500 a night we could have gotten a lovely hotel room in Manhattan or anywhere else. Buyer beware--the poor ratings are, for the most part, accurate. As far as the "good" ratings, I am not sure about their validity. This place is a dump.

We travel regularly both domestically & internationally & have never had such a poor experience!

Reluctantly booked this motel as part of a group (another party booked for us). We had read the reviews but thought how bad could it be? IT WAS WORSE!! We paid $375+ for the night & I didn’t even stay the night, driving home 2.5 hours home @ midnight instead.

The pool area had uneven paver surface surrounding the pool which could easily cause someone to trip & fall into the pool. The water did not look safe to swim in. Need to be completely redone for safety purposes.

The building is in complete disrepair. When I say it needs to be it needs to be torn down & re-built it is not an exaggeration. The property has been let go so badly nothing is salvageable. Cleanliness is key for me & it didn’t even have that. Bedding is VERY old, and the room needs a deep cleaning. A/C was in working condition but full of dust and mold. Bathrooms had tiles falling off walls & looks like it hasn’t been cleaned with toothpaste & other grime throughout. Bugs were found not only in the room we had but many of our friends' rooms.

Due to severe allergies to dust & mold had to request a room change after stepping into the first room. Was reassigned a new room which was the same.
One of the other couples went to the front desk & was told, “what do you expect it is an old motel”! UNACCEPTABLE especially when you pay as much as they did because of a late booking $600+ for the night!!

Not sure why any Booking site allows this motel to be booked through them!!

The motel is old and some features could use an upgrade, but that is part of its charm. Within walking distance of food and amenities. Very clean room. Worked out perfectly for us. Staff were very helpful. Perfect stay for us. An old motel of a breed that is dying out. We were happy to have found it and were very happy with our choice.
