Great location and historic vibe. Our family enjoyed staying in the beautiful Saratoga Spa Park and being just a short walk/drive to the Roosevelt Spa & Baths. The resort's restaurant is pretty good for a family breakfast or brunch. We would've preferred to have a spa at the resort, a better fitness center, and a restaurant with a more diverse menu. That being said, just a short drive away on Broadway, closer to Congress Park and the Visitor's Center, you'll get a larger selection of restaurants and cafes. We were also able to order in from places nearby. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It had an old world charm to it and we felt like we were living in the early 1900s.

The staff was very professional. After seeing the room was definitely not up to my standards, I asked the front desk clerk for a refund and he was very polite and helpful. The place looks like it was last renovated 40 years ago. This is NOT 4-star accommodations. 2-star at best. A Best Western has miles on this place.

The grounds. Staff is all Union I was told and it's noticeable. Nobody cares and I saw multiple violations like chopping paints, water dripping and a foul smell in the bedroom. A total ripoff for the money.
