Brentwood Hotel - Hotel in Saratoga Springs - 15 Gridley St, USA

This is a super cute small property that checks all the boxes. The rooms are cozy and on the small side, but honestly, for us it was perfect because we do not spend a lot of time in hotel rooms. The beds are very comfortable, the bathroom is very vintage and nice. If I can say just one thing, there needs to be either an option of better lighting in the bathroom or a lit makeup mirror because my husband laughed at me when I came out of the bathroom with way too much makeup on LOL.||The property location is perfect. Across the street from the track (added bonus of frequent horse traffic down the street), there is a bar across the street that is open if the lobby bar is not, a five minute drive to downtown Saratoga, and close to the parks too!!||We stayed two nights at a very reasonable price for Labor Day Weekend and the closing weekend of the track! We will definitely book again!

My husband and I recently stayed at The Brentwood with our dog, we were very excited to find a hotel (this is really a motel) she could stay in. Upon arrival, the room smelled very musky and overall wasn't that clean looking (aside from bedding). I ignored it, this is a renovated motel and I figured it was just stuffy. The next morning, we wake up and my dog is covered in fleas. She is on a flea preventative so they were eventually dying, but there were so many it was shocking. We knew it wasn't from her walk the day before because we always check her before going in. I am pretty sure there were fleas in the room because they were full adults we were finding on her. And the worst part is you wouldn't know because the floors are painted black. We had to leave early because the longer we were in the room, the more fleas were jumping on her. They did give us a partial refund, but I was still very disappointed. Our trip was cut in half because of this and we had to deal with the headache of de-flea'ing our dog. I understand that these things happen sometimes, but we have stayed at other dog friendly places with zero issues. This motel is also under new ownership as of recently, and from what we heard the parent company owns a bunch of properties from NY to Florida so I doubt they really care what's going on. ||I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

This is a great place, and I would absolutely stay here again. However, the owners need to be honest about what it is - a stylish, really well done motel that has a ton of care and attention to detail. But it’s a motel, but hotel, and the rooms are TINY. I am 5’4/130 and my husband is 5’6/155 and we were cramped. The scale of the entire motel is very small. But the motel itself has wonderful style and design and a very warm feel. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was great.||The “lobby bar” (another misnomer bc there is no lobby, bc it’s a motel), is not open every night. A shame bc it looked very cool! We were told the Horseshoe restaurant across the street would be open, but it, too, was closed. ||If you love really well done motels with a ton of style and attention to detail this place is perfect for you (as it was for us). Just go into it knowing the rooms are very small. But don’t be fooled and think it’s a hotel, or you’ll be disappointed.

I don’t love writing this review, but I want to help guests know what to expect when staying here. ||I first stayed at the Brentwood a few years back when they first opened, and I have to say it’s unfortunately gone downhill since that time. I paid $500 a night for what is really motel stay. It seems like the owners set it up and got it up and running, and have now moved onto other projects as the amount of care, consideration and hospitality really is not there anymore. ||First let me start with the positives. Location is amazing, you’re right in the town of Saratoga and if you’re interested in racing the track is right across the street. The bed is fluffy and comfortable and the shower shampoo/soap smells heavenly. ||Now the negatives. ||Bugs: Cleanliness has really gone downhill. There were many bugs in the room, in the main bedroom and the bathroom as well. There is actually an open hole in the wall above the wall AC unit that I believe is where the bugs are coming in from. ||Housekeeping: there is no housekeeping, unless you request well before you arrive at the hotel. (I was not notified of this when booking on the website) For paying $500 a night, this should absolutely include housekeeping. Having to ask for housekeeping makes me feel like a bother instead of a guest. ||Coffee: there is no fresh coffee on the property offered in the morning, and the instant coffee in the room is $12. For the price point, fresh coffee should really be offered, or at least the instant coffee in the room should be complimentary. ||Mini bar: We did try an iced coffee in the mini bar, only to realize that it was expired. This is just unacceptable and a food safety issue. ||Amenities: I don’t know how anyone would go about booking the bikes, as there is no one on the property for about 80% of the day. When the hotel first opened, there did used to be someone at the bar who was available to help with any requests, my advice would be to bring this person back. There also used to be a VIP pass for SPAC offered as well, and I didn’t see anything mentioned about that this time. ||To summarize, basically the cost is very high for what you are actually getting at this hotel and I’m sorry to see it going downhill. I hope the owners choose to put some time and energy back into the property.

Got to the room, it smelled really musky and was not very clean (so many dead bugs in the window). I let it go, because at least the sheets looked washed. Woke up the next morning and my dog is covered in fleas. She is on a preventative, and it was slowly killing some of them but we had to remove about 40 adult fleas. I know for a fact this didn't happen after her walk the night before, because we check her with a comb. So my assumption is that there were fleas in the room already, because it wasn't properly cleaned. The floors are painted black, which makes it even harder to see them. This was really disappointing because it cut our trip in half and we had to deal with the headache of flea removal when we got home. Anyone who has owned a cat or dog knows what a pain that is. We have stayed in pet friendly places before and never had an issue. This "hotel" (it's actually a motel) is under new ownership as of recently, and it's clear that they do not care about what goes on. Whoever bought it apparently owns other properties all over the country so they barely have time to really care about this one. I was able to get partially refunded, that's the only positive I took from this trip. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone.

The property is gorgeous and a perfect location. I stayed in April so can't say anything about the horses. The room was well-designed and felt glamorous. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was amazing. The patio area is crushed gravel with some tables; super relaxing to just hang out and enjoy the sun. We brought bicycles with us, but there are bikes available for guests that are high-quality and Brentwood-branded. Recommend tooling around Saratoga Springs on bicycle if you have the chance. A few minor negatives: - In-room coffee/tea are for purchase, not included in your room price. I'm used to complimentary coffee at hotels, but since it's fancy coffee, I get why it's for purchase. Maybe include a complimentary option that's less fancy? - Contactless check-in and the closed bar made it feel like an Airbnb, for better or worse. It's nice to talk to a human in person. The rooms are VERY nice here, but don't expect the hotel treatment. - Some of the Brentwood "swag" advertised on the website was not available, such as the pen, notepad, and tote bag. - No fire pit or s'more kits since the bar was closed. It was lovely out (~70s in April) so these would've been great to have.

Beautiful place for fair price. Just be ware that pets are little on pricey side - first night for $40, additional nights $20 each.

Allow me to start by saying this…… we will be back! My Wife, Sister, Brother-in-law and I stayed last weekend and were so pleased with how smooth our check-in process was. We received texts before check-in and registered online. With both parties anticipating arriving late at night, we were both contacted separately which was great as we arrived at different times. The location was ideal. A wedding brought us to Saratoga for the weekend and The Brentwood was perfect for us. The staff was so nice, informative and helpful with our requests. We very much enjoyed the outdoor patio area and their beverage offerings both morning and evening. We walked to the race track on Sunday (it’s literally right out of your front door) and experienced our first horse races before we had to leave for the wedding. The location is perfect with plenty of rideshare options to get everywhere you need. We now have the horse race itch and already plan to make this an annual trip, we will be back next year and hopefully for many years to come, I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
