Great place for the price
My husband and I stayed 2 nights. The room was updated for an older motel. It was decorated very nice with very comfortable beds, great pillows and nice bedding. It was quite and was surprised to get a voucher for a great breakfast sandwich and coffee from a deli next door. It was a short drive into town and to the track. Would definitely stay again.

This place has a lot of potential but whoever owns it is not giving it the love it deserves. Dark, depressing room. Didn’t even consider showering there. Okay, it’s Saratoga in the high season but seriously.

Very ordinary, nothing special
Very ordinary roadside motel. Couldn’t sign in on device, left a phone message & subsequently received the door code on device. Difficulty adjusting the air conditioning wall unit. It was very loud when turning off & on. No Kleenex.

Great option
We were in the area for a wedding and we’re astounded at the astronomical prices of hotels - how excited I was to stumble upon this what a cool business design touchless entry (no interfacing with deskclerks or waiting in lines for forms). The price was very reasonable. The rooms were updated and comfortable.

Everything was as described.The onsite owners handled every one of our needs instantly. The neighborhood is very safe and you can walk to numerous restaurants and stores. It is a 8-10 minute ride to downtown Saratoga Springs. We will definitely stay there again.

We very much appreciated the pet-friendly welcome. The room offered everything we needed and, although pretty basic, that's all we had looked for, so we were very happy, as it served our purposes perfectly.

I booked this motel because I needed a pet friendly bare bones place to stay for two nights. The Birches was everything I needed. Check-in was done via an app and a text message, which threw me off at first, but there were no problems with doing it that way. We had to call them the first night to figure out how to turn on the air conditioner and the person who answered was able to help immediately. The room was small and the bathroom was very small, but it was not a problem. The body wash provided smelled great. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Good value; I would stay here again.
