"Stayed here while attending a group function. This was the host hotel. It is a stately and lovely building with large campus grounds, wooded, easy walking paths and a shuttle to take you into Saratoga Springs that runs until quite late. There is a restaurant/bar on site with indoor/outdoor seating. A golf course, state park, bicycle rental, mineral baths and an outdoor performing arts venue all within walking distance. Our room was ample size, bed very comfortable and bathroom was small but in keeping with the era the hotel was built. The elevator went out briefly at some point but there is a freight elevator to use. The staff and communications were first rate. Overall our experience was wonderful."

"What a pleasure it was to work with the team at the Gideon Putnam to put together and host my daughters Bridal Shower this past weekend! The Garden Room was a perfect venue with its beautiful, historical vibe. The brunch was outstanding and our server Anne, was incredibly kind and helpful! The Mimosa bar had all kinds of juice options, including N/A and fruit garnishes so everyone had fun creating their personal and pretty drinks! The brunch was so well done and they didn't rush us through it, even leaving all the yummy desserts out for us to graze on as we went through our games and gifts.

From the day that I called, to the day we met to view the room and determine the menus and setup, to our event yesterday - I've never had a smoother, more professional experience! Everyone who came raved about how pretty the room was and how great the food was and I've gotten several texts from people expressing what a lovely shower and venue it was! These folks made me the hero of the day and I can't recommend them to much! They'll definitely be my "go to" from here on out!"

"I am writing to provide feedback on our recent stay at the Gideon Putnam Hotel. This was meant to be a special anniversary celebration, and we chose your property because of the wonderful experience we had there some 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the quality of this visit did not align with our expectations, nor did it justify the rate of more than $873.96 per night. The Amenity Fee of $30 is really over the top.
Several specific concerns contributed to our disappointment:
• No staff was available to assist with our luggage upon arrival, and the front desk personnel were less than welcoming.
• The guest room was not of acceptable quality: the overall appearance was dark and dingy, the carpet was worn and in need of cleaning, the beds were poorly made, in addition, the bathtub and towels were old and in need of replacement.
• No complimentary bottled water was provided. We were required to purchase three bottles of water at the front desk for $15.
• The dining facilities did not reflect a five-star rating. The dining room appeared dated and in need of a thorough cleaning and updating. Even the windows were in need of cleaning. While the wait staff were attentive and professional, the overall atmosphere was not inviting. In addition, no lunch service was available, and the dinner menu was very limited. The $22 morning buffet was the only option for breakfast.
Given the cost of the stay, the level of service and condition of the property were not consistent with what should be expected. Our visit, regrettably, fell well short of the standards we associate with a property of this reputation and price point.
I hope you will take this feedback under serious consideration, as the Gideon Putnam has the potential to once again provide the welcoming, high-quality experience that guests anticipate."
