Checkin is by restaurant manager at very busy restaurant. Staff tried to be helpful but were busy with their restaurant job. Room was fine. Fridge and microwave were in the hallway shared with other guests.

Bed was very comfortable and the room maintaned a good cool temp the whole tme we were there. Water pressure was a little low. There was a sign in the shower that said, 'let the hot water run for 5 minutes to get hot water. The water never got above luke-warm.

Disappointed

Very hot. Reached out to Nicole first day but no response. Keurig was filthy. Couldn’t get a cup without coffee grounds in it. Refrigerator was packed at all times so no room for our things. Bartender was very rude when we asked for ice & for our wine to be opened. Never a Nest parking place to be had for three days.

Nice view of lake, bar and restaurant downstairs but they close around 10. Clean but tiny room with no amenities like shampoo, etc. so make sure you bring your own! No elevator and we were on second floor. No biggie because we can carry luggage but for those who can't you will need a first floor room. Place was cute and very clean.

Great location

I enjoyed the self-check in aspect. It was very easy. The room itself was very cute and clean. Only disappoints were that there wasn’t a thermostat in the room (we got a bit cold but couldn’t change that), and the wifi was too weak to reach our room (we connected in the hallway but lost it when we went into our room). But the price was right for its proximity to Saratoga Springs!

No staff. Small room. Noisy restaurants across the hall. No shows on the TV. No breakfast available. Not worth the cost. Way overpriced for what we got.

Overall All was great! Some little details could be improved: Coffee brewer didn’t work properly. Extra water to brew coffee was not available ☹️. FYI The TV did not connect to server and help phone support did not pick up. It took some troubleshooting to discover that the on/off button is located on the panel mounted to the wall . Bathroom Mirror is mounted at belly height. ??

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nest especially the location. Beautiful views on the shores of Saratoga Lake and loved the South Western decor of the room. Our room was right across the hallway from the restaurant where we had dinner both nights. Everything that we came there to do was just a few miles away, so the location was great too.

A nice place for people who like live music

This was a nice place in a nice location with quirky parking. The price was right. But anyone staying here needs to know it is attached to a restaurant with live or recorded music until 9pm. If you’re out and about until that time, it’s worth it for the cost and convenience. But if you want to bed down before 9, bring your ear plugs.
A diner at the restaurant gave us a tour of his antique car.
