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.

It was an adorable room and it had a beach, restaurant and ice cream store all right close by and of course a lake view.

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!

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.

It was great for stopping by for the night. Room was smaller than expected with a 6’4 husband but we made it work. The views of the lake were great! Parking was a little confusing at first, but worked out as well. Great little lakeside stop :)

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.

I come out for 2 concerts at Caffè Lena every year, I love being by the water and everyone is so helpful and friendly at Dock Browns restaurant, I was talking about the nest last concert and ran into them staying here this year. Nice surprise.
