As I mentioned in my earlier check-in review, they advertise for 11-4pm checkin but if you arrive earlier than 4pm you have to pay $25 or $50 in order to check in earlier!That is ridiculous! Plus their resort fee was $30 per day and it wasn’t worth what you get. Their breakfast offers were only an overpriced buffet and no regular breakfast offerings, even though they had menus displayed to lead you to believe you had another option. They really need more to offer their clients. I will never stay there again! Having stayed in the past, it was truly disappointing.

The Gideon is an old hotel with character. The room was spacious but the bathroom was not great. Didn’t feel very clean. The shampoo and amenities were almost empty. The buttons were worn down on the air conditioning unit so it was difficult to adjust. The bed was comfortable. The coffee in the lobby was great. The shuttle bus service was wonderful. We never used our car.

The house keeping staff needs to be retrained, as does at least one person at the front desk. My wife and I arrived a short while after 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 7, 2025. We were assigned a King Deluxe room on the 2nd floor. The bathroom wall along the tub was replete with mold. We complained about the mold and we were given a King Deluxe room on the 2nd floor. That room had a similar problem, although less mold. When I complained about it and asked for a room that did not have a mold problem, I was told by a female (short brown-black hair) at the front desk that there were no more rooms available & that it was an old hotel so things like that should be expected. She also said that she has first seen the room and it wasn't so bad - that she is allergic to mold and would have had a reaction if it was a real problem. She said she had no reaction. I stated that regardless of whether the hotel is old or not, it should not have a mold issue, that it was a real problem, and that if she would get me some Clorox and a scrub brush, I would take care of the problem. I was told that a maintenance person would be sent to the room to take care of the issue. The maintenance person arrived about 1/2 hour later and remedied the problem with bleach, as I requested. The problem was bad enough that it took him 1/2 hour to scrub away the mold. I told the same female at the front desk about this. There was no apology and nothing offered for the inconvenience. Very diasappointing!

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.

Considering what a beautiful property and otherwise perfect experience at the Gideon Putnam Resort and Spa, a new chef would be a deal changer! The cod fish we ordered was still cold inside and the food overall was terrible. And despite the breathtaking property, the hall leading to Victoria pool and bathroom were unkept and dirty. We will be back though!!!!
