The hotel is located in a state park with a golf course, spa baths, auto museum, restaurants and miles of walking , running trails. Bicycle rentals are available at the hotel lobby and are a great way to see the landscape. The hotel has a great historic feel to it. The rooms are a good size and you come into... More

This hotel resides on scenic grounds, just around the bend from the best sites in Saratoga Springs. The valet, Julie at the Concierge desk, the front desk team and the driver of the GP shuttle van were all friendly and helpful. However, a couple of other team members we experienced were quite rough around the edges. Our king room, while... More

This is the first time I have been to the Gideon Putnam, although my husband was there for a conference before. The grounds are beautiful, the hotel is grand and charming, and of course, old, as part of its charm. We were in a delightful porch suite on the ground floor. The porch was lovely, with windows on 2 sides,... More

How exciting to hear that you are already planning your next trip! And I am thrilled to hear how comfortable you were in one of our Porch Suites - the Porches really are the ideal place to unwind between a walk in the park, a concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a trip into town...

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

We are so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the Spa and our delicious brunch. Please excuse the spackling in your guestroom. Care for a Historic Landmark Hotel such as this is eternal.... 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

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.

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

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.

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
