Town of Schodack Vacations & Trips from $790

Just spectacular

**Premium Pricing Without Premium Service** This was our second stay at The Perch for Maker Camp, and unfortunately, our second disappointing experience. Last year we paid approximately $1,200 for two nights. This year, nearly $2,000 for the same room. Despite the significant price increase, the experience remained underwhelming. Both years, our promised 3 PM check-in codes never arrived, requiring us to call late in the evening just to access the property. There is no traditional front desk or evening staff on-site. The hotel markets itself as a boutique experience, yet the building shows its age, temperature cannot be adjusted without using an outdated AC unit or opening windows, and our requested air purifier wasn't even plugged in. Most disappointing was discovering that daily housekeeping wasn't included. This wasn't clearly disclosed during Expedia's booking process. We returned after a full day out untouched trash, including food we'd have removed had we known. At nearly $1,000 per night, these shortcomings are difficult to justify. Especially when the same room is advertised for approximately $300–$400 on another October weekend. I contacted Expedia seeking a partial refund, but my request was denied. As a small business owner, I don't leave negative reviews lightly. I understand demand-based pricing, but premium rates should come with premium service. I genuinely wanted to love this hotel, but after two stays, I'm left incredibly disappointed

Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, but the door to the room did not fit properly so lots of light came through the edges. Also we could hear the guests above us ( we were on first floor in carriage house) tramping around at 6:00 am. It would help to carpet the floors. The breakfast, which was much hyped, was only okay. The ingredients were nothing special, for example the bread used for toast appeared to be off the grocery store shelf.
