This was my second visit. Great location. Drawback - my key would not work when checking in. I had to download the app late at night. Loud music - wedding the night before marathon and had to wake up at 3:30am. No hot water for a shower the first night. Had to skip. It was okay the second night. Lovely building, though! I would highly recommend.

There was nobody at the hotel.The wifi connection was terrible. I was working and needed it. When I called the number listed there in case of problems, I wasn't called back for about 45 minutes. When I finally managed to speak with an employee, they refused to move me to another room. Terrible service.

There was a horrible clicking/clunking noise happening continuously in intervals throughout the night. I believe it was coming from the heat unit. This was a major sleep disturbance. Even with sound machines. Also, the sink faucet cold water did not work. Otherwise the room was comfortable.

We love the Sterling Hotel (we got married here 16 years ago). Historic hotel with large rooms. Check in was easy via my phone. Teas, coffees and the like are self service. Hotel is surprisingly technology forward, except for the TV/DirectTV.

One shower door had a broken roller so did not roll. My husband tightened the toilet seat since it was loose and he tighten the bathroom doorknob since it was ready to fall.

Cute place
Beautiful place & even cooler cuz there was an event taking place that evening in the wedding area of the hotel. However, the tv didn’t work, the water took forever to heat up and the bathroom sink stopper got stuck and we couldn’t open it so there was a little pool of water sitting in there. Lights were flickering in both the main room and restroom. Room was huge though, high ceilings and pretty. Close to everything downtown/midtown. Lots of cool spots within walking distance.

My husband is in a wheelchair. The hotel staff did everything to assist us in getting in and out of the hotel and were gracious and considerate. The nearest parking was over a block away in a parking garage which was challenging to manage with our luggage. But overall, wonderful experience.

There wasn’t much of a staff. They left at around 7pm and when we left between 8:30am-9am they still hadn’t returned. It looked like they placed sheets over the window. Not what we expected.

The property is beautiful and historic but there were a number of things that contributed to me having a negative experience. For starters, the limited onsite staffed hours meant communication was via SMS which is slow and costly when you're an overseas traveller. Second, was a lack of hot water during my stay. On checking out they said I needed to let it run 5-7 minutes to come through which in a dry state is a waste of precious water. Thirdly, the plug in the bathroom didn't work. Fourthly, one of the curtains was secured at each corner of the window but sagged in the middle illuminating the room at night. Sloppy presentation like that reflects poorly on the business. Finally, the WiFi was difficult to connect to and there was no onsite support. Not a venue I would recommend.
