An alternative is to stay at a hotel in North Albany near the airport, rent a car and commute back and forth to Saratoga. (All of our elder statesmen stay at the Desmond, for old times sake. The restaurant is good, too.) It's an easy thirty minute drive and the cost of a hotel room in North Albany and a car is a lot cheaper than a hotel room in Saratoga. Split the car costs with someone else and you'll have extra cash to bet.
