Splendid!
Comfortable hotel. Although rooms are a bit dated, its location is perfect for SPAC and Saratoga Springs activities.

The vibe is amazing-- so old school Saratoga luxury and refinement. We loved the bar, the "front porch" at night playing cards and listening to music, walking around the property. Beautiful getaway.

This hotel was the perfect choice for attending a conference in the Saratoga Springs Spa Park. I could easily walk to all events. All staff were friendly and helpful.The particular first floor room had a horrible partial view of the HVAC units, but I didn't really care as I was there for business, not a honeymoon or romantic weekend. The room was so nice, spacious, and comfortable. Best of all really nice sheets & responsive air conditioner temperature controls!

Quick getaway
This is our third time staying at the Gideon Putnam hotel in Saratoga. We love the classic charm and jazz music in the lobby. Service was very good, room comfortable and clean. We will definitely stay here again. The free trolley rides to downtown are a bonus.

We have stayed here multiple times and this visit was a little disappointing. When we had maid service, they left wet towels on the bed and bathroom floor. Otherwise, the visit was nice!

Old hotel. Very nice though. Hotel was costly for a weekend but was comparable with other hotels in that area for the same weekend. Traveling to Saratoga Springs during horse race season is pricey.
Best perk for this hotel is that if you are seeing a show at SPAC, you can tailgate on the grounds and walk a few hundred feet to show. Its location is what gives it value.

Our room was not ready at check in time. check in was 4:00 our room was ready @ 4:30
We had plans for friends to pick us up at 5:00 so we were rushed to take showers and get dressed. Other than that everything was good.

NO hot tub or pool to be seen at the hotel, website misleading, there is a public spa and pool at a different location with additional charges and in our case booked out our ONLY amenity was the bar.. disappointing. The room 508 layout was odd. I tripped on the step going into the room. Window didn’t open, it was taped shut with duct tape. Fitness center was hard to find. The only reason to stay here is if you are a guest at the spa and need a place to sleep not much to offer. Breakfast was fantastic but it wasn’t complementary. The bar staff was very friendly, but that’s really all I can say.

Beautiful historic hotel
Beautiful historic hotel. The free shuttle is worth the stay though the history, beautiful rooms, and grounds are close second.
Only quirk is the elevator situation.. unfortunately the main elevators are out of service so you have to take the old service elevator to your floor. It's a cool old elevator but for some people it was a bit of problem (older people, lots of luggage, if you are on the 5th floor you get off on the 4th floor and take the stairs up to the 5th).
