Stayed here with my husband for his 70th birthday one night. Got a $39 rate. How could we resist! Beautiful grounds, nice lobby and bar area. Rooms have been renovated but are mediocre. It has been taken over by an unknown hotel chain. Would go back for the rate, but would not recommend this hotel if you are paying the... More

Approaching this grand mansion you can imagine what she was like in her heyday. The location is perfect, especially in the summer. We were there one very cold February night and the historic vibe can still be felt throughout. Our room was updated in furnishings and the bed was comfortable. However the walls were paper paper thin. I could not... More

This is a very strange review for a very strange stay. I think anyone considering staying here needs to understand that this is a location that potentially could be a 4-5 star resort, operating as a 2-3 star hotel/motel. Additional facilities investment past what was apparently done last year is needed, and more importantly management needs to work on service... More

Spent three days here for a conference. Hotel's first floor rooms, although roomie, could have some major improvements. The ramp is at a dangerous pitch to drag luggage down, and the roped off thing doesn't help when it is so dark in that hall. The rooms were very nice and large, needs better lighting, very dim. And the glass shelf... More

I met a friend at the Gideon Putnam for 'girls' night out' last Saturday. She had stayed there for conferences in the past, and has had good experiences. The hotel itself is quite charming--old but not out of repair or dreary. There is a challenge finding it, as the signage is not that good within the State Park where it... More

The Gideon Putman is a great old hotel, with a nice clean large rooms, unfortunately not soundproof. Friendly and attentive staff. More

We stayed at the Gideon Putnam with friends for a long weekend. While it is not a new facility, it still has a great deal of charm. Our room was spacious and clean, with a lovely porch. The shower did have endless hot water. The staff was fantastic: Charles the waiter, Rich the doorman and Amy at the front desk... More

Stayed here with a girlfriend for a spa weekend. We arrived pretty early on a Saturday and were delighted to be able to check in before noon! Parked our cars out front and unloaded into a creepy old elevator that apparently overheats enough to warrant a warning sign. Yikes. Got to the room and it was lovely - like a... More

My husband and I were very excited to be staying at the Gideon Putnam. We figured we would have a nice little getaway from the kids and use the spa. From the moment we walked in we were very disappointed. We had to wait 20 minutes until someone was able to check us in. The staff were to busy chatting... More
