    Pros +

    • nice yard for relaxing but very close to food and coffee
    • Nothing! It smelled -there were bugs in bathroom- Thank God it was for 1 night!
    • Noticing fancy but clean, comfortable good value for the price. As expected.

    Cons -

    • There was no front desk to check in. There was a sign on the door to call if you did not receive a door code and room number. Which we did not. Also no staff on premises to get more towels for our room. Also the shower was broken
    • no coffee pot but walking distance to stewerts and dunkin
    • The room was cold even with the heat on and it stayed cold until we left

    Easy to get to downtown. Surrounding property was nice was beautiful lawn and trees around.

    Walls were very thin. We were placed right next to the family staying onsite, who also has a dog, which was an uncomfortable placement, particularly when we also had our dogs and were the only guests onsite for one of the nights. Our room was also below the deck of the overhead room so we got very little natural light. The shower head, which had very low pressure, also could not be moved and was aimed to shoot water directly out of the shower. All around not at all good value for what we paid for.

    It was so cute, easy self check in and check out and the room was clean/ bed was comfortable. It was much closer to downtown than we expected (by car 5-10 minutes!) the breakfast sandwich at the deli next door is a MUST. We would definitely recommend this place and visit again ourselves :)

    The bed was comfortable and clean.

    The blinds facing the parking lot had a gap so people could see in (like see us sleeping if they really wanted to). Someone before us must have taped the blinds shut because there was tape remnants that we had to use to keep it somewhat shut so we had privacy. Even with the tape, light from outside still shined into our room all night. The bathroom blinds were also broke and had tape on them, but you could still see inside if you were to be in the back of the building.

    First of all the grounds weren’t taken care of. Needed mowing and what must have been at sometime flower beds were now weeds. We knew what to expect from the pictures but just cheap looking interior. I would not have stayed more than one night. Very over priced. More like a $100 a night room, not $170.

    Bug in the bed room took 8 hours to get warm horrible.

    A heated room without insects. And hospitality expectations should be met when insects are involved. Offered no apology or accountability.

    Convenient location, great price

    Snow not shoveled from sidewalk, had to jump it to get into room

    great location, easy parking, very clean, and super homey

    the front blinds have little gaps on the side so people can kind of see through them

    10DenisePosted on: 9-22-2025

    The rooms were clean and modern and comfortable. Close to Saratoga and anything you need to get to in the area...and the complementary breakfast sandwich and coffee at the deli next store is a bonus!

    Convenient.

    The back walkway needed light. It’s so dark and is a fall hazard. Specifically right by the garage where there is a step. We never saw any staff.

    The location was good, the guy who was managing the property was excellent and accommodating. Very nice. The room was clean but had a bad smell covered up with orange air freshener.

    Smell of cat urine, they tried to update the room but it was not great craftsmanship

    Good location and adequate rooms !

    The room needs a comfortable chair and better lighting. One evening there wasn't any hot water to shower before going out for dinner .The AC unit was covered with dust and filter was never cleaned in a long time !That creates poor air quality and breeds germs !
