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.

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).

I didn’t think it was possible for this hotel to get any worse since last year, but they managed to accomplish it! Last year, only one elevator was working, this year neither is working, just in time for racing season, unbelievable!

Would have been nice to know the elevators would be out of service and our room would be on the 4th floor.
Also the room was supposed to be a standard king bed and it was barely larger than a full size bed.

Great ambiance, good morning coffee, NO liquid soap in shower it was not re filled. Elders had a hard time getting back from concert many got lost. No one to guide elders who walked all around. They added a amenity charge of 32.00 and I was not told about it and we did not use the pool so it was unexpected as a unknown up charge.

Stayed here a few years ago and since then it has been renovated. The room was nice. New furniture. Our tub didn't drain but they took care of it very timely. It is very convenient to so much within the park. Unfortunately the elevator was not working so they offered the service elevator which was finer but when it was time to check out the poor guy was super busy operating the elevator so it took a while to get downstairs. (the elevator hasn't been working since Feb! so we were told we stayed in July!) It was nice that they have a free shuttle to take you where you need to go. The weekend breakfast buffet was also very good. I think it is a great spot just wish it was a bit more reasonable for people to stay. Labor day weekend is over $500!!

We decided to stay at the hotel after a concert. The hotel is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. We didnt eat at hotel so I can't comment on the food. My only 2 complaints: 1st the elevators were not working and guests had to use the service elevator. 2nd I left my favorite Starbucks water bottle in the refrigerator of my room. When I went back a few days later I was told it hadn't been turned in. I know I left it in there...someone kept it.
