There is no staff on property instead you have access to a room where you can get extra pillows, towels, etc. Unfortunately when I was staying it was empty with the exception of a few towels and ironing boards.

Enjoyed my stay

The stay was overall good. The only negative aspect is that I had the room for 4 nights any it was never cleaned. Otherwise it was a good experience any the early check-in was nice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Birches Motel was extremely affordable and convenient. They send you a code for the room when you get there and its also how you get into the lobby. I think the electronic check in is so convenient. The room is very nice and comfortable. My only complaints are 1. The bathroom doesn't have a curtain on the windows and someone lives behind the motel. Uncomfortable. And 2. The shower water is slightly warm, if not cold. Otherwise, a great motel for the price!

Jacob, the reception manager at The Birches went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue with a double booking issue I had with Expedia and secure my refund. Expedia still has an old account of mine from twenty years ago listing a yahoo email I no longer use. You cannot get a human being to help in real time at Expedia. I have tried for years to get Expedia to use only my new account and associated email to no avail. I had only one booking showing on my Expedia app until check in time when ai called Jacob directly at The Birches. THANK YOU JACOB !
