Disliked: Amenities
The room was beautiful but the staff’s attitude was not. Did not know there were no refrigerators in the rooms. Getting ice from the restaurant was inconvenient, awkward, and hard. The service area was small and the refrigerator was off and smelled bad. The rooms were upstairs with no information of that beforehand so it was horrible for medical conditions. Michelle’s attitude was horrendous, not sure who she is, but hopefully she isn’t trying to manage people. If Michelle is the owner and treated her guest this way, I can just imagine how she treats her staff. Won’t be staying there ever again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was as pictured; however, the hotel was misleading in their advertisement. The restaurant and bar at the hotel were not only closed, but under renovations. The entire hotel and surrounding area was a ghost town with everything being closed for the offseason. The numbers listed for assistance didn’t even ring and just had a disconnected tone to them. We couldn’t even contact anyone with an issue and our room had issues. The lights were out in our room and the lamps were all the light we had. Our shower didn’t get hot, just lukewarm water. The room was so excessively dry we woke up frequently to drink water and had difficulty sleeping. The bed was quite uncomfortable as well. There was not enough parking for the hotel and we had to create our own spot so we didn’t have to park in an unknown area and be uncertain if our car might be towed due to everything saying “closed for the season.” Overall, it was a terrible experience and it is apparent that the hotel is not maintained during the “off season.” I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are okay with being uncomfortable, sleeping in such dry conditions your nose is bleeding and your throat struggles to swallow water, and there’s no one to contact for assistance with these issues. I couldn’t even contact anyone to try to get a refund or alternative room for my stay due to the numbers all being disconnected.

Great stay while attending the Saratoga jazz festival! Michelle, the owner of the inn, was so helpful and inviting that I would highly recommend staying here if in the area. And the restaurant was very much enjoyed and the room was beautiful! The staff was super friendly and helpful.

The nest - a place for birds of all feathers

The property was cozy and quaint - exactly what you would want with a romantic or relaxation gettaway from the big hotel chains. The restaurant had exceptional live music, interesting and friendly locals and great food and drink. The room was exceptionally well maintained and clean. Check in and out was easy. Have raved about it to our friends and we’ll stay again!
