First time overnight at Saratoga(?)

I live in southern Vermont, so the ride to Saratoga isn't bad at all (it is a race car driver's dream, a winding series of roads from Vermont into New York state.)

I was wondering if anyone here had thoughts on a good (value) place to stay on a relatively quiet weekend. Value could mean anything, as I'd just like to stay one night but watch two days worth of racing. It's a male buddy horse racing fan of mine, so I don't need romantic restaurants.

If you spend about $50 on $2 Pabst Blue Ribbons at The Putnam Den then you can sleep for free on someones deck furniture on the East Side.

Perfect!

About 20 minutes from Saratoga is the Glens Falls area...there is a Quality Inn that is relatively new that is ok, with alot of dining in the area...

Wilton might work for you during the week and close by
