We were just passing through and needed a room for the night. Our room had 2 beds, dining table and chairs, microwave and refrigerator. More than I expected!

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.

Loved the price and cleanliness- no frills but loves fur babies and provides just what we needed- comfy beds- can’t wait for coffee and sandwich next door!!!
Janie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Upon arriving, I was greeted with a room that was infested with house flies. There were easily 30-40 of them. So disturbing. I was afraid to open the closet for fear of what might be in there! There is no front desk person and it was a digital self check. So, it was not clear what I should do. I proceeded to kill as many as I could and called it a night. Photo is of one group of my kills! I found a number to call the next morning and a nice fellow that lives on site answered. He said he was going to relay the issue to the owner. I never heard from anybody again. The lack of an interest or consideration from the management to simply acknowledge the issue with a courtesy call or email prompted me to write this review. It’s a cute little motel with some simple design updates to the room. Could do with an extra chair and a small credenza to set your stuff. Other than the gross flies, it’s your typical little motel made to look modern. Overpriced for what is and definitely so for my stay.

Definitely a (overpriced) MOTEL
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Thomas, 1-night trip

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.

Well renovated but unfortunately not so clean
Philippe, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
kate, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mary, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Faith, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I found the floor to be extremely dirty, blood stains on the mattress bedding, tiny bathroom and shower, i wouldn't stay again.
Arron, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

My stay was "okay". Its fine for a night, but its not a cool old motel refresh like i thought. Very cheaply done, and things were pretty worn. But it wasnt filthy or felt unsafe. Just not great. You can do better in the area.
