We have stayed in Saratoga before, but this was our first time at Bluebird. We really liked it's location to downtown. Just across the street at Uncommon Ground was a delicious breakfast! Nearly any shop or restaurant was a 4 - 8 minute walk away. The staff was very friendly and our room clean!

We stayed only one night but were so impressed with this little gem right on Broadway in Saratoga. I remember this hotel before it was renovated, and nothing delights me more than saving older buildings and turning them into modern havens. It has all the conveniences you look for such as a nice new bathroom with lotions and potions, plush bedding and pillows with well thought out charging stations, new lighting, darkening shades, a wall wardrobe and pegs for your coats. The concrete floors are lovely and the lobby where the pool used to be with the ample sunlight thanks to the sky enclosure make enjoying your coffee in the morning so enjoyable, even when it is cold outside. Hayley at the front desk was so accommodating and even had our room cleaned early so that we could check in and RELAX. I will visit again and again! Thank you to the staff!

Room was very clean. However what ever cleaning product that was used was very pungent and we had to buy a room air freshener to cover the smell. Other than that the stay was great and we will return.

Interesting rebuild of an old motor inn. Center court design resulted in a situation where noise carried easily.

Saratoga Springs gem
As always a great run motel. I had 1 issue with the room above us banging and moving things after 11pm. The front desk was very gracious when I told them in the morning & gave me $30 credit toward my next visit! Usually there is no k e at the desk overnight, so I didn’t go down as it was happening-but they were super busy & someone was there.-if I knew I would have gone down. All in all a favorite place to stay
