I was traveling to Saratoga Springs for a business meeting. I chose the Grand Union Motel for its location. I didn't want to be in the middle of the city. The motel could use a little bit of updating .The staff was wonderful. The two ladies at the front desk Sharan & Lisa were very helpful to me as a... more

I went with my girlfriends on a weekend trip to watch a concert at the SPAC. Although the room wasn't very fancy, it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We were also able to book massages and a soak in the mineral baths at the on-premise spa - one of the highlights of the trip. The front desk referred... more

Front desk staff was so-so, and we noticed that we were the only people staying there. The room was small, dirty, and smelled like stale cigarettes. The sheets and bedspread were stained with some unidentifiable substance and the bathroom was gross. The remote was broken and taped back together and the TV buttons were broken off. After 10 minutes in... more

When I pay $100 a night for a room (ANY ROOM) I expect a clean room without nasty odors, spotless bedsheets without bloodstains, a clean shower and updated decor and a tv remote that isn't broken. This motel had none of the above. The only good thing about my stay here was the friendly woman at the front desk and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Grand Union Motel this past weekend as we were in Saratoga for a wedding. If you are used to staying at the Adelphi or another upscale hotel when you travel to Saratoga, then the Grand Union may not be for you. We were extremely happy with the price, it was $89 for a... more

Checked in for one night with my family last August. Booked through Hotels.com. When we checked in and went into the room we noticed how dirty it was. When my daughter pulled back the bedspread there was a french fry in the bed. When we pulled the second bed spread there appeared to be blood stains on it. We called... more

Geez people, it's not the Ritz, but what did you expect. You booked a reservation at a roadside motel in upstate New York. Sure it could use a few updates but it's a perfectly fine place to crash when you are in Saratoga for racing season. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean despite what other posters have... more

I stayed at this hotel with a group of college friends for a fun weekend getaway. The Grand Union was a little cheaper then other places but still expensive because it was racing season. We probably would have stayed some place nicer had we started planning our trip earlier. The motel was about a 20 minute walk to the restaurants... more

I booked my trip through Orbitz and checked the box for late arrival; however, when I arrived at midnight the desk manager proceeded to yell at me for "being late." He had the gall to encourage me to go elsewhere. As it was midnight and I had no familiarity with the area, I ended up staying. All in all, this... more
