The Gideon Putnam

Beautiful grounds. Wonderful meeting rooms. Cozy guest rooms. I always love my visits at the Gideon Putnam! The staff is also very attentive. Can't wait to utilize their spa services on my next visit!!

Truly not worth a single star for Hotel accommodations but the review will not post without highlighting a star. The rooms are old, the carpet smells like dog. The facility does allow pets but there are too many. The bathrooms are in serious need of work. The air conditioners are loud and we killed 5 mosquitoes in one night. The lobby furniture is worn and the facility is in severe need of painting and cleaning. Lack of amenities. Very disappointing for the price.

What to know: The country’s first wellness spa, built in 1935 during the Great Depression under President Franklin Roosevelt, was constructed to help people relax, and is an ideal way to take in the fall foliage or escape the pressure of the city. How to Get There: Amtrak goes directly from New York City's Penn Station to Saratoga Springs, and the resort is just a few pleasant minutes’ walk from the rail station. What to Do: Book a heavenly soak at one of the 42 baths, and relax in the simple pleasure of immersing in water sources straight from three springs: the Geyser, Coesa, and Hathorn. The water is heated at a comfortable 98-102 degrees. After a soak, you can visit the Saratoga Race Track to slake your thirst of watching thoroughbreds, or the Saratoga Automobile Museum, which is housed in a bottling plant renovated in 2000.

The rooms were clean. The bathrooms needed a little paint. Looks like they will be renovating the rooms & lobby soon according to signs. The locale is very scenic. Good restaurants a short drive away.
