The system to open the door didn't work. Same to access to our room. Using a key locker with many keys to access to multiple rooms is unsecured. The Heater is very loud, and we were unable to stop it, so we didn't sleep much.

Very cute building! Loved the decor. It's in a very convenient location to visit downtown and midtown. It was easy to check in and out via phone. There was no microwave or table in the room and there was plenty of space for both.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, convenient location. But, the carpet needed vacuuming, the outside needed sweeping, the sink cold water faucet did not work and the heater made a loud clunking sound whenever it went on throughout the night.

I wanted to love our stay at The Sterling so much more. It’s a beautiful property and the rooms are giant and gorgeous, but the lack of upkeep was really apparent. In our first floor room, the 2 upholstered armchairs by the window were both stained, one with a 10” stain right in the center of the seat. One of the lace drapes from our bay windows was missing. And the jacuzzi was giant and generally clean, but was cracked and the jet nozzles looked concerning enough where I didn’t necessarily trust it to be a hygienic experience if we were to use the jacuzzi feature. In the common area, there was a water machine, but it didn’t work. So we ended up just filling our water bottles from the tap. We had a self check-in experience with a digital key on our phone, which was really convenient, though we didn’t see a single person during our stay. So there was no receptionist or anyone from the hotel staff on the property, day or night. It was an extremely quiet stay, as we didn’t see or hear any sign or anyone else being in the hotel with us the whole time we were there. The quietness and the comfort of the bed made for great sleeping conditions, though the light from the always-lit parking lot adjacent to our room made it very difficult to get sleep because it pierced right through the drapes. Iprobably wouldn’t stay here again in the future, as I just expected so much more from a hotel stay experience. It’s a bummer, though, because this place has so much potential.

A lovely stay

Everything was great except a few things. The tub was not fully cleaned and the sink dripped the entire time. The balcony was closed off unfortunately for our room m but was still a lovely sight and want a big deal to us. The bed is super comfy and the tub is HUGE with jets to relax. My only other issue was I never saw any staff even for check in and out, you have to text if you need anything which I find to be an inconvenience.
