Satisfactory, but...

I initially didn’t want to leave a review out of respect for how hard the staff was working, but I eventually changed my mind because this motel could benefit from improvements—especially for the sake of future guests. The inn looks somewhat refreshed, but only partially. I can’t speak for all the rooms, but ours had several issues. The bathroom had a poorly painted tub with peeling paint, and the ceiling showed visible mold spots that had just been covered with a thin layer of paint. Both the bathroom and bedroom had small, dirty windows with transparent tape around them, which looked unappealing. The sofa bed also needed a thorough vacuuming inside. Another important point: the property was advertised on Hotels.com as having an ocean view. In reality, it does not. A tall condominium directly in front blocks the full ocean and beach view. On the positive side, the motel is just steps from the beach, has a beautiful pool, and there’s a convenient café right on the corner of the building. I hope this feedback helps the owners focus on needed improvements and advertise the property more accurately for future customers.

The Saratoga is an old beach hotel. It’s nothing fancy but it gets the job done. The best thing about it is its location from the beach.

When I arrived after check in, the room was not going to be available for another 40 minutes so I relaxed on the beach, although not the best weather. The beach is literally a block from Saratoga and it is absolutely beautiful. I was impressed that there was housekeeping every day knocking on the door to clean the room although I did not need it. I had a maintenance issue with the bathtub overflow that fell off and maintenance was at another hotel so another female employee came back in to reattach it. Again, impressed. There is a cute little cafe attached to the hotel if you want to get coffee, smoothies or a sandwich. As my first experience in the crest, I would say I was pleased and would definitely go back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This place is drastically overpriced. It is a dirty motel with slow & unreliable WiFi (if you can connect to it in the 1st place), a moldy bathroom, a broken bathroom sink, and staff that does not provide sufficient help when there are concerns. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone especially at this price point. The only benefit of staying here is the close proximity of the beach, but I can assure you after a beautiful day at the beach you’ll seriously contemplate sleeping in your car instead of returning to this motel for the night.

Hubbies birthday ♥️

Arrived a little early, however check in was not until 3. Not a problem. Beach was was not more than a block away. When our room was ready, friendly front desk lady gave us a call. The room was spacious and VERY clean. I would come back.

Room was spacious and spotless!! AC was nice and cool. Beautiful pool area and only a few steps to the beach. Quiet, friendly service. 100% great value. Will stay again and recommend for anyone who wants a little quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk, but still close enough to walk/bike there.
