Overall just not anything worth the cost. Exorbitant cost for a plane Jane hotel. Casino is same bla model found in Newburgh NY. Brewery food next door was ehhh. Beer was good and ambiance good.
Front desk female we checked in with was great!! Nice, smiles, informative, and helpful.
Area near the hotel a lot safer than the rest of the town.

Jason and his staff at the Courtyard Marriott on Harborside Dr were exceptional! They accommodated us with our last second changes. Easy drive to Saratoga Springs. We highly recommend this hotel and thanks to Expedia for the assistance.
