The Sage Motel - Saratoga, Wyoming

PJ J.

I booked this room last minute online for a school wrestling event. It was one of the two remaining vacancies in town and was the lesser expensive of the two.

Upon arrival I was a little concerned given the outside appearance but the place gets 4+ star reviews so held hope.

I sat in my vehicle for a moment to catch up on a few personal messages, and after about 5 minutes was greeted by the hotel manager. She made sure I had my entry code and checked me in before I even exited my vehicle.

I followed her in after another minute or two to make sure she didn't need anything from me and to offer a more formal exchange. She assured me all was good.

When I entered the room I was pleasantly surprised! Despite it's outward appearance, the rooms are fresh, and supplied with updated amenities, and has clearly been remodeled enough to make for a very pleasant space. And the location was perfect for my needs.

As a former Hotel Chain Housekeeping Manager, I am pleased with the cleanliness as well.

Top notch service and a hidden gem. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.

Very disappointed. There was absolutely no staff. I showed up at about 8 PM on a Saturday, and I am mostly blind and couldn’t figure out how to open our door. When I called the phone number, no one answered, and the sign on the front door says to ring the doorbell for help. So we rang the doorbell about 30 times no one ever came to help. The staff is nonexistent. The room was clean so at least we had that. I will be visiting my family in Saratoga often, but probably will not stay at this motel again.

I have stayed here 4 times now. It is high quality basic accommodations. I have always had an enjoyable stay. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable and have zipped protectors for piece of mind.

Nice, clean rooms. The large room had a private bedroom and two other beds for quite a reasonable price. The coffee supplies were very nice with a fridge and TVs in each room. We were able to walk to convenience store, restaurant and hot springs, which was very fun. We were able to explore the river and park right around the corner.

What was described as a room with three queen beds was actually one room with two queen beds and a separate room with the third queen bed. Both rooms had their own smart TV and climate controls. Don’t be fooled by the old-timey sign that reads Sage and Sand Motel. This “Sage Mote” has been newly updated— including the rooms, bathrooms, and beds.

I just spent a couple nights here and was initially pretty pleased. My impression has dramatically changed based on the one and only interaction I had with the woman who works here.||I was standing outside my room cleaning my car’s rear window when she literally skulked up behind me yelled at me for using the incorrect piece of cloth for the job. (I guess I grabbed a “washcloth”, and not a “rag”) You owe me twenty bucks!” she yelled. “And you’ll see it on your bill as a pet charge” she continued. I was taken aback. Her demeanor was so rude and caustic, I almost thought she was joking! She was not.||The whole interaction really left me with a bad impression. To make matters worse, this is a very small place and this extremely unpleasant woman lives here as the onsite manager. The second half of my stay was made uncomfortable by her scowling presence.||I love this part of Wyoming, and will definitely be returning. In the future however, I’ll book a room at the Hotel Wolf, Hacienda or Rivera Motor lodge. All are located right in Saratoga, offer great customer service and are clearly better places to stay.||Update: the owners reached out, apologized and refunded the erroneous pet charge. I appreciate their care/concern about my experience and have adjusted my rating upwards.

Great - remodeled motel for a small town. Our room was very clean, modern and nice. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was top notch. The fridge, microwave and well stocked coffee bar in the room were better than most Hilton, Marriott etc I usually stay at. Would definitely recommend and stay here again

I stayed here after visiting the local hot springs. The check in is all online and then you are emailed a code to the door in lieu of a door key. The room is beautiful and comfortable. The parking was a little tight, but it is still a nice experience worth trying. They are also pet friendly.
