We arrived early and the woman behind the desk was not friendly. We asked if room was ready she said no. We asked when and she said no. Ok when? Reply was check in is at 4. I said i know and she did not offer to hold bags or should have said she would call us when room was ready. When we came back to check in another person checked us in and was much nicer. The original woman was unfriendly and curt.

Differed maintenance
Lovely classic hotel and great location that suffers from differed maintenance and not enough staff, esp. in the restaurant. The main elevator has been out of service for months. We had to use the service elevator and make sure the attendant was available. Good beds and nice room but bathtub water was rusty at first and inside of the bathroom door was grubby and paint was chipped.

Inept, disorganized and not worth the price
I knew this was the opening week of the season, but assumed that meant the hotel would be set and ready to go. Not so. Registration was completely confused, the elevators didn't work, repairs that should have been completed (i.e. sunroom) were in full progress. No one mentioned the restaurant was not open - I only found out when I went down for dinner. No information was provided about the park, the resort, or really anything. No maps, information, history... The only thing that was very timely and precise was the thunderous knock on my door at precisely 10 am to ask me if I was ready to check out, which I definitely was. I could have stayed in a motel and had better service. Some people seemed to be really trying and in the ball - I feel for them in a situation with no apparent leadership.

The hotel needs updating and the cleaning staff was not on top of the property. The plumbing was backed up the entire stay in the shower and the sink.

Loved the history & the charm of the Gideon hotel. It felt like we went back in time. The grounds are amazing. & the Roosevelt spa & surrounding building are historic. We truly fell in love with all of it!!!
Dinner at Putnam’s located inside hotel was amazing. Great food. Great staff. Ate there twice.
We were located on the third floor in an executive suite & it was fully renovated. It had a sitting room & 1 bedroom.
Not sure what the Gideon pumps into the main lobby. But the scent is truly amazing.
All of the staff was so friendly & helpful. Shout out to Eric at the front desk since his name is the one I remember. But everyone went above & was always smiling.
The place is just stunning & lovely. Perfect weekend getaway. But could stay longer.
We truly can’t wait to visit again. Fall was definitely the perfect time.
We also visited the spa & my massage was fantastic. I had Jodi. I would absolutely ask for her again.

We were there so briefly, we did not get the full experience of offerings. The bathroom could use an update. It looked like the tile was painted and peeling.

Excellent Spa Hotel
The spa was amazing! Carrie gives the best pedicures. And the mineral bath was very relaxing. It was my first time. Trying the mineral bath and my second time getting a pedicure. The grounds are nice. The food is good. The restaurant has a great selection for dinner. They also have a really nice buffet for breakfast. I would highly recommend the Gideon Putnam to anyone visiting the area.
