The Gideon Putnam has a lot of potential with its beautiful property and charming historic details, but my stay was marred by discrepancies between expectations and reality. The location is lovely, near a range of outdoor activities, but the state of the rooms and the lack of amenities were disappointing. While the staff was friendly, the overall experience felt poorly managed, particularly considering the high price point.
