Saratoga Springs studio

[Etinca]

Hi all, we are staying at Saratoga for the first time next month. Have stayed at many others and OKW is our favorite. We normally like Hospitality House for the convenience and entertainment factor. Our trip is also for the food and wine festival, that being said, when we check in on line, what areas should we request?
Thanks!

The Springs is close to the main building and bus stop.

It may depend on why you like Hospitality House.

Springs is also the last bus stop, so it's not unusual to have Standing room only by that time.

Half of Grandstand is the 1st bus stop and could be classified as "Near Springs" and is actually closer to the main dining than most of Springs. (The other half of Grandstand is on the far side of its parking lot). Grandstand's "quiet pool" also has a pool bar.

Paddock has SSR's 2nd (and newer) feature pool, and has its own QS dining option and is the 3rd bus stop.

"Close to entertainment" makes me think about Congress Park. Most Congress Park rooms have DTD views and it's the closest to the DTD East side walking path... But Congress Park does not have food/drink and "only" has a basic quiet pool (with a beautiful DTD view )

If you couldn't tell from this post, there's not a bad room in the house! My wife and I have only stayed in Congress Park, because we walk to DTD almost every single day. It's also pretty much equidistant between both the pools at the Springs and Paddock. Also not too bad of a walk to Artist Palate for breakfast.

This trip we are going to test out the Paddock, hopefully in 1 of the 2 buildings right next to the bridge leading to the carriage house.

Hope you enjoy! We love SSR due to its relaxation factor. Much more secluded than some of the Epcot/MK resorts. If you like OKW, you should fit in just fine

Also, Part 4 of this post will be extremely useful for selecting a section to stay in.
