The Sterling Hotel was a great little historical place to stay. The room (Dukes Sweet) was very spacious and clean. We only stayed for one night and everything was great for our stay. Very private but I believe that’s the way the Hotel is designed. Minimal staff.

Had a great stay at the hotel. Our family had 3 rooms. They were comfortable. Each room had its own character and enormous tub! In our room, we could hear the wedding. For the other two, they heard all the city noise, sirens, etc. I would stay here again.

We stay at The Sterling once a year. This may be the last time we do so. The main issue was the shower/tub. The main shower head would only dispense cold water. We had to use the small body shower head to clean. The water would not drain from the tub. We had multiple people staying in our room. After 2 showers, we had half a tub full of dirty water so the rest of our guests were unable to shower. The volume on the remote for the tv also did not work. The only time we saw a person at the front desk was when we checked in. I don’t know if they’re trying to save money or what but they need to staff the front desk. Was not a pleasant experience and I really hate to say it!

Quirky but not awful! Bed was SO comfy! Bathroom was divine. Building very old but cool! Weird thing was NO staff on site period… not even sure we saw anyone the next day. You get a check in code but no front staff nada! Just wish we’d known. The downstairs bar area was open but again unstaffed and had an odd gas smell. Downtown was a quick uber. Overall quiet and comfy! Would book again!
