Holy moly...$209.00 per night at the Desmond

Man, I'm still trying to get out of work and find a hotel to get up there this weekend but not at that price!

You can try Name Your Price on Priceline and probably get something around $70 in Albany. Check out sidestep.com as well, lots of rates under $100.

I'm staying the next week-end at the Comfort Inn across from the airport for under $90 a night.

calling all cars on this one!!!!!!!!!

i have decided to head up to the spa hopefully to see Sumwons race on the 5th. I have pretty much decided to torture myself for the ride home (taking the $40 Greyhound bus for 10 hours) and taking the Amtrak into Saratoga Springs on Saturday the 4th. Here are the hotel options that are some what reasonable

Rates from 8/4-8/7 (checking out tuesday)
Locust Grove Motel (Malta, NY) $99 a night 5 miles from the track
McGregor Inn Motel (Wilton, NY) $110 a night 4 miles from the track
Saratoga Motel (Saratoga Springs, NY) $189 a night 3 miles from the track
Top Hill Motel (Saratoga Springs, NY) $126 a night .5 miles from the track

still waiting on rates from The Design Motel and the Thorobred Motel

anyone have any opinions on the hotels i have searched?

any help would be much appreciated

gl all

FYI for day-trippers- Amtrak offers a shuttle bus from the train station to the track and back again for free and includes general admission.

Mind you, the train was an hour-and-a-half late getting back to NYC, and was so cold I literally wrapped myself up in my newspaper, so that I looked just like a homeless person, but it was quite pleasant on the way up, anyway.
