Saratoga on my mind

Go to the Chamber of Commerce website ... www.saratoga.org ... for lodging possibilities and rates.

You're quite late in making your plans for this year ... you should have done it no later than April or early May ... even earlier if possible. If you stay on weeknights ... Monday-Thursday ... you can get pretty good rates at decent places ... usually under $100 per night or just a bit more.

Weekend rates can be quite high ... and are probably unavailable at this late date.

Try staying in Glens Falls or South Glens Falls ... about 15-20 miles north ... or Lake George ... where there are a zillion motels ... but 25-30 miles away.

I called the Fairfield Inn, which is 7 miles from the track, fairly new and very nice. Just to give you an idea, avg price of a room on a fri-sat-sun night is $279 per night.

I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Albany. It's the SUNY-Albany location.

I'm already booked there for a couple of weekends this summer. Free internet, great breakfast included. Nice rooms. Across the street from where the football Giants practice. Lots of coaches families stay there also.

Lots of food places nearby on Western Ave.

20 minutes to the track. I got it for $89.00 per night. Now it might be 120.00 per
