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 !

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.

The property manager was a delightful gentleman. He gave me a lot of local insider knowledge because he grew up in the area. I can’t find anything wrong with my stay. It was absolutely great and I hope to go again.

Hidden gem. I have stayed in worse in higher class hotels. It was quiet, clean, cool, and super comfortable beds. My small complaint was the provided bathroom items (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), were empty (just conditioner). Great parking, safe rooms, and super quiet. Do not judge this motel by the outside (which is also very cute), it was an awesome stay. Easy check in and check out. Just far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to take a quick ride to everything. Awesome stay can’t say enough!

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.

I did not rate staff because there was no staff. That was fine because they texted the room # and room code to me. I checked in by text and that was also easy and efficient. This motel is a pleasure and I would go back again. A nice place to stay if you are going to the races at Saratoga.

It was a great location for our purpose. It was clean mostly. We wanted a no smoking room. Even signed a waiver saying we wouldnt smoke in it or if it smells like smoke we would be charged. However as soon as we stepped into the room, it smelt like smoke. Not horrible but to a non smoker definately noticable. I called the number for the office and someone got back to me very quickly and came out and checked. Also gave us a can of spray which helped. My other concern was the stains on the sheets and the cigarette burns holes in the comforter. Beds were very comfy. Lastly when wiping down porcelein when cleaning make sure you get all the hair. There was someonelses hair stuck to the pedestal sink and everytime you sat to pee you could see it. I think it is guiness having the code locks and being able to get extra towels and toilet paper too. It was a nice touch having the breakfast vouchers. The mexican american diner was fantastic.
