Good overnite stop for trip between destinations.
An older style motel with fewer rooms than chain /motels. . Well kept up. Within a reasonable drive to events in Saratoga (our destination) as well as Glen Falls.

McGregor Inn Motel - Saratoga Springs Visit
The owners of McGregor Inn Motel make this place a winner for a low cost room during the "peak" horse racing season. Convenient to the race track and restaurants. Donuts, cereal, coffee and tea available in the mornings. Accommodations are basic: 2 double beds, microwave, small refrigerator with freezer, TV and WIFI. Grounds in front have picnic tables where one can enjoy the lovely weather while reading the racing form or a book!

Slightly above average.
With all the bookings in Saratoga Springs and Lake George, this motel being a small familly owned motel is not bad. Owners friendly, etc. but small and no amenities.

Nice Motel, very clean and owners are very friendly. Room was freshly painted and had new carpets. My only thought is I didn't see any air conditioner in the room at this time, glad we didn't need one. Would stay again for sure.

Great Motel for reasonable rates
This was the perfect motel for my wife and I. Simple, yet super clean and meticulously kept up in the middle of up state New York history and vacation stops. Ticonderoga, Saratoga and Bennington for Revolutionary War history, gorgeous scenery and a great way to have a laid back vacation if you avoid the crowded spots. the motel also has picnic tables for a picnic lunch and great flower gardens to enhance your stay.

Our stay was very good, both Anna and I thought that we made an excellent choice. Anna found her bed somewhat soft(the one by the frig.), other than that she was pleased. Travelling to Dance Flurry was no big deal, yet we should have left earlier on Saturday morning because parking was difficult. So, thanks and Anna said that she would certainly consider staying with you again.

John and Anna, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay here. 7 miles to the Saratoga City Center is an easy drive on main roads. Thank you for taking the time to write this great review and we hope to see you for the 2018 Dance Flurry. Gail and Jeff

Nice hotel on the northern tip of Saratoga Springs
Nice staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds. The location is great, just north of the city of Saratoga Springs, on Route 9. The wifi is quick, and there's a refrigerator and microwave also. And, the bathroom is very clean and functional. I am a huge fan of motels that you can park in front of and have their own door to their rooms too.

Clean and basic
The room was clean enough and the place was quiet. It was probably in its prime 40 or 50 years ago. The door only had a twist lock on it; no chain or deadbolt. We were only there for one night, and didn't go to the bar across the street. The gentleman who checked us in was very pleasant.

Our room was very clean. The inclusion of a refrigerator and microwave oven was a pleasant surprise. These accomodations are neither luxurious nor spacious, but they certainly met our needs. The room was VERY clean.

We're sorry that you were unhappy with your stay. Without specifics it's hard to respond to nightmare and tear it down. Short of changing our non smoking policy there was nothing we could do. Please read our other reviews.

An inexpensive hotel without a lot of perks
I was a little skeptical when I first pulled up to the motel. It's small, with only 10 rooms. The office is located in the owner's home and you have to ring a door bell to get service. The man and woman running the place were very nice. The woman recommended places to eat and chatted it up with us. The room was small, but sufficient. There was one thing that my expensive hotels in Providence and Boston didn't have that the McGreggor did have. That was a fridge with a separate freezer and a microwave. Both were pretty new. The TV was circa 1997. With only 10 rooms, it probably would be a good investment of maybe $3000 - $3500 to put new TV's in the room. The other furniture was out dated by the beds were comfortable and clean. There was a little rust in the bathroom on the heater but nothing terrible. The bathroom and shower are small, but again, this is a small motel.
Response from Gail and Jeff on 26 Aug 2015
Andy, thank you for taking the time to write this review. As noted we are a small motel with just basic amenities and a staff of 2. We appreciate the kind words about us and room cleanliness. We have started replacing the televisions already and will continue to do so as we update the rooms one by one. As the saying goes "they don't make them like they used too" and we are always reluctant to throw things out that are in good working order. However flat screens have become more affordable in the last couple of years and are part of our plans over the next couple of years.

Economy accommodations at a reasonable price
This place is what it is - a motel very reasonably priced (for the area). Clean, decent beds and a fridge and micro (room very small). Owners were very pleasant also. If you can afford go somewhere else but if not don't hesitate to go here if you just want a clean room to sleep for the night.

It was everything you could ask for. Ownership was friendly. Quiet, never heard any neighbors. Bathroom could've used a towel hook. Really grateful to have a fridge and freezer.

Unexpected delight
I found this room last minute on a busy weekend. I was in town on business and needed to stay over. Because the room cost was low, I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised with a nice room. It's a bit cozy (small) but it was clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly. The next time I'm in town I think I will stay with them and avoid the chain hotels I usually visit.
Response from Gail and Jeff on 28 May 2015
Don, thank you for such a lovely review. We know our guests value a clean room as much and sometimes more so than cost. We look forward to seeing you again when you are in the Saratoga Springs area.
