milwaukee mike Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 thanks fifty it's 99% sure i will be there with my dad at least the 18th/19th, then on to hamptons, atlantic city, and god knows where else if you have any good east coast ideas for us that don't require a lot of walking just let me know! we have each been to every state multiple times, we will probably be on a budget after saratoga/ac kicks our ass and gas/hotel prices do the same!

rdalert447 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I used to stay on Wolf Rd in Colonie (Albany). Was a bunch of decently priced hotels. Easy ride to track. Good restaurant nearby: https://www.delmonicositaliansteakhouse.com/location/albany/ Havent been in 7 years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 albany better than schenectady? looks like the crime rates and distance to the track are about the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifty cint Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Latham malta Colonie way better choices.Schenectady is a real shit hole.all of the places along Wolf rd are fine with lots of dining options and pretty nice areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdalert447 Posted August 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 City of Albany is a disaster. Avoid. Stay on outskirts and/or by SUNY Albany. Look for addresses on Wolf Rd, Central Ave, Western Ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August West Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Closer to the track and downtown the better. Malta is your better play vs Albany, Latham, Schenectady. If you're really a horse geek, its worth ponying up for a hotel in town so you can be a part of the track energy morning through night.
