The hotel seemed very clean to me, but "cleanliness" can't really be rated, unless a room is obviously dirty. The very personable owner (manager?), Zakhar, isn't on-site, but he does a good job communicating by text. Once he knows your estimated arrival time he's there to greet you, etc.

The owners and staff are some of most friendly people I have ever met, I would return for the hospitality alone. This inn has a lot of historic charm and is in the process of being renovated to provide some more modern touches while still staying authentic to the feel of the building. My room was very comfortable and I was a 4 minute walk away from the concert I was attending at Frog Alley Brewing Co. The staff checked in via text the morning of my arrival to see when I was expected to arrive and the following morning to see if I needed anything and recommend I check out the coffee bar. In the morning, I went down and grabbed a iced blueberry honey cake latte and a lemon oat bar for breakfast from Graham's Coffee Parlor. The coffee parlor looked fabulous and the staff was kind. The coffee & baked goods were delicious! If I had more time, I had planned on checking out the yoga studio and potentially even getting a massage but I needed to hit the road. Can't wait to return and see the continued improvements.

As a first time guest it wasn't clear how to check in. The front door was locked and although I was given a code ot get in, it wasn't clear how to find my room or key. I had to ask another guest who just happened to be in one of the downstairs areas how to find registration, which was a lone man in a back office with the door closed. Our room did not have a number on it, so I wouldn't have been able to find it by myself. The room was nice and clean, although there was a bug (some kind of roach?) in the bathroom. There looked to be an interesting coffee shop downstairs, but it wasn't open before 8 or after 2, which is when I would have been able to get something. For a first time it wasn't great. I would go back again, although the price was high for the lack of service.

Great staff and lovely inn!

Excellent stay in a great part of town! I definitely would look at coming back!

Owners are very nice people and the property is stunning. Still under renovation but it did not bothered me at all. Once it will be completed I am sure it will be great.

Very unique experience at this historic inn.

My son and I recently toured the beautiful campus of Union College and had a memorable experience at The Stockade Inn. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, adding to the charm of the visit. What makes The Stockade special is its unique character. If you’re looking for a typical commercial hotel experience, this isn’t it. Instead, you’ll find a place that truly represents the culture and history of Schenectady. The only downside during our stay was that renovations were underway, so things weren’t as presentable as they could be. However, it looks like it will be wonderful once the work is complete.
