“Lovely, but could use some tightening up”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

My adult daughter took me to the Gideon (we've stayed there a couple times previously) for a Mother's Day package of one-night stay, Sunday brunch, and mineral bath. The room was pretty nice, though there was a spot on the wall where they'd spackled and never painted, which surprised me, given their extensive renovations in recent years. We'd been booked... More

“This grand old hotel is in bad shape.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

My wife and I decided to stay a few day in Saratoga Springs, New York. Since we love grand old hotels we decided to try the Gideon Putnam. The hotel in located in a beautiful park with lots of places to walk. When we first approached the hotel we noticed that one of the main from columns was missing and... More

Thank you for your honest feedback. It is wonderful to hear of your appreciation for grand old hotels. I wish you had asked someone about the column out front - the steel pipe is only temporary. The original was in disrepair so it was removed and sent out so that a new one could be recast to match the original.... More

“Good and average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

The room was nice because it was simple and reminded me of a time like titanic. Neat! They had lots of paths on the property which was ideal if you are traveling with a pet. On another level, the restaurant sucks. The food is way over priced and not worth the bad service.

“Good for Conference and Leisure Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

I stayed at the Gideon for a conference in May, 2013. My room, in the back of the hotel with a view of the ancient pine trees, was lovely and well-appointed. And, the windows opened, to let in the spring breezes. Unfortunately, there are no screens on the windows, so one day many bees decided to join us in our... More

“Historic Hotel in Saratoga Springs, NY”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

My husband and I stayed just one night this past March on our way to VT. I had stayed there six or seven years ago and could not wait to return to this beautiful Georgian-syle inn that sits on 2000 acres in a state park. I was aware that some redecorating had been done and I could not wait to... More

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I am disappointed to hear you did not like our guestroom renovations - most of the feedback we've received has been very positive. Our hotel and the park have so much to offer; hopefully you will not let this keep you from staying with us again on your next trip to VT. More

“Very nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

We stayed here for just one night when we had to be in the area for a work trip. We really like the kind of place that is not a chain hotel and completely homogenized but has something individual about it. The Gideon Putnam was that kind of place, with a sense of place and history. We would stay again... More

“Historic Hotel in the Park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2013

We just got back from the Putnam and are already talking about making it an annual destination for our Spring vacation. The hotel is historic but not out dated. Our room was comfortable, clean and very quiet due to location within Saratoga Spa State Park. There were some conventions in the hotel but it didn't bother us at all. The... More

The customer service is disgusting. Every single staff member is rude. I checked in and got put into the wrong room. When I called customer service the guy said he will call me back and never did.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for failing to meet the level of service that you deserve. Having said that, we are a bit confused by your bad review because we remember your situation and our exchanges were quite pleasant. You were here as part of a 4 room wedding block and your friend's wedding was elsewhere, outside of town. The... More
