Wonderful stay
Wonderful inn in an historic building. Zakhar was very attentive via text for any of our needs and Mary Clare met us upon check in and was very nice showing us around and making sure we had anything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable and in a really nice area. The historic vibe was wonderful.

Stay here and enjoy yourself. 10/10
This was a spectacular stay, through and through. Every interaction and experience pleasant. From top to bottom. The best in the biz, so accommodating and helpful and kind. Fell in love with Schenectady as a result. You have to have the coffee at Graham's Coffee Parlor in the main level. Also, be mindful of the work it takes to maintain such a place, and then revel in their vision and the comfort abound. Will be back. Grateful for everything. History lives here.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Stockade Inn and was completely enchanted by its charm and character. Nestled in the heart of Schenectady’s historic Stockade District, this inn offers the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort. The architecture and interior details beautifully reflect the rich history of the area, and every corner of the hotel feels thoughtfully preserved and warmly inviting.

The 2 owners were extremely helpful. My wife and I were picked up from the airport with a luxury, new SUV and the driver was most informative and courteous. A+++.

Historic boutique with charming details
When we arrived the owner greeted us! With a quick history of the building. Zakhar had already texted us ahead of our arrival and greeted us at the reception desk. They were kind enough to let us check in to our room 5 hours early!! The hotel is absolutely lovely. They're still doing restorations and i can't wait to see when the works all done. Our room was spacious. Bath soaps and lotions smelled amazing. Towels and linens were great quality. You can tell they really care about details at the Stockade!! The town is really sweet. Beautifully kept historic homes. We were here for a concert at SPAC and it was an easy drive back and forth. Highly recommend this hotel!

Historic hotel oozing with charm
Such a beautiful building built in 1814! So many cool things- beautiful bar and parlor on the main floor (they should rethink the furniture though). The bar could really be something special and attract outside guests for drinks.
The room is beautiful with a gorgeous fireplace. The bathroom is new with nice L’Occitane products. The beds and bedding were super comfortable. Again the furniture arrangement needs some work. They should also fix a few things that were odd- like the closet doors don’t really work and are missing glides at the floor, so they are swinging. Rooms should have a luggage stand. Wash the windows from the outside so we could better see the historic church across the street. But overall we really loved the charm and had a very comfortable stay.

I liked how quaint and quiet the area is. The hotel room we were in was fairly newly-renovated. Very spacious. The hotel itself has a lovely character and is homey. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. Zakhar was very courteous, helpful, and informative.

Nice Old-Fashioned Stay
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.
