“Nice setting, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I went up for the horse racing with another couple and one other guy. The motel is in a nice setting with tall trees (I assume they are locusts). Our room had two double beds, a full-size fridge, microwave, and cook top (no stove). However, if you are planning to cook, bring your own utensils as there aren't any in the room. My complaint is that the room REEKED of smoke. We were in a smoking room but our friends were in a non-smoking room and they said their room also smelled of smoke. It is an older place, so I guess all the rooms were smoking rooms at one time.

The location was good -- close to the track and the town of Saratoga. There are a few restaurants within walking distance as well as a convenience store.

The rates were quite a bit less than other places. The owner puts out coffee and pastries in the morning. I would stay there again, but would ask for a non-smoking room.

“Saratoga Dreamin'...With just a hint of cat urine!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2009

Stayed here last year with some friends for a couple of nights. I highly recommend the place...if you don't mind rooms that reek of cat urine. Beds with dirty sheets...weirdos dancing naked in the room next door with a strobe light flashing...Rooms that smell of stale cigarette smoke...

But the guy who runs it is very friendly, and puts out Entenmann's donuts every morning. Looking forward to coming back this year!

“Best spot to stay for Saratoga Racing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I have been going to the Locust Grove Motel for over 20 years during July & August Saratoga horse racing season. The place is clean, you get two full size beds; cable TV and a kitchenette area. The ride to the track is less than 10 minutes. There is a nice restaurant (Bentley's) within walking distance and a nice bar across the street. I can go with the girlfriend and/or my brother and have $$$ left for the track. This place is a great value and management (Peter) is great. To get a good feel for the place, "google" the address and "map" to street level. You are also close (less then 10 minutes) to town of Saratoga; Trotter track/casino and SPAC for concerts.

“Low Cost Efficiencies”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2008

We needed a low cost hotel close to SPAC in Saratoga Springs for the DMB concert. We found this website with no pictures of the motel. It was $69 per night when everything else was close to $200 so I was a little concerned. Turned out so be OK, smelled like smoke and a little old but clean beds and bathroom, had air conditioning. Very nice owners. Great location to concert. Took use 5 mintues to drive to SPAC and could have walked had we known how close it was, however it was on US Route 9. Perfect if you are just crashing for the night and don't want to pay high Saratoga Springs prices.
