What about on a Tuesday night? Do you think they have better deals/rates on an "off" night?

I stayed there for a couple days several years back...don't know what the name of the place was, but it was a cheap motel off the main drag coming into Saratoga (S.Broadway-Rt 9?)...right next to a BBQ joint...believe it was just South of the state park. I have no idea if it's still there or not, but I'm sure it was under a hundred bucks a night & if I remember right, only about 10-15 minutes away. Good luck.

Check out the Best Western just south of downtown. It's relatively new, not downtown, and below the radar a bit. You'll be able to get a better deal during the week. Last year, my friend got weeknights for under $125 and this year they have vacancies from what I heard.

With some of the places up and down Rt. 9/9P you might want to be a bit careful.

We stayed there two weeks ago, the second weekend of the meet. $269/night Friday and Saturday. But their breakfast station was immense (BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER) and the service was very solid. Claimed they were not sold out for any night the rest of the meet.
