The room was beautiful and very spacious. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The bedding was actually warm and didn’t need to ask for any extra pillows like I usually do in hotels. Very much worth the price and will definitely come back.

The parking was great after 10pm (free) I hesitated parking in the garage it was confusing and expensive for the short amount of time left 10pm to 6am was $23.00, I was worried about being charged an additional $23.00 after 6am.. I ended up parking next to the hotel after 10pm. I paid $3.00 in the morning at 830am to 11am, which was check out time. My ONLY ISSUE with The Sterling Hotel was internet access and Wifi was absolutely NOT available and very frustrating. Good thing for hotspots.

Unique and Charming Stay Stayed on a Tuesday night for a concert at Ace of Spades and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The Sterling Hotel is full of Victorian charm, super clean, and walkable to everything we needed. The staff was kind, the atmosphere was peaceful, and it felt like a special experience, not your average hotel. Definitely recommend if you want something different and memorable!

We got one of the suites and the bathroom made the stay so worth it! The bath was amazing and clean. The room itself is really spacious and in a clean condition. Some of the stuff is out dated (tv, lighting, plumbing) but the aesthetics made up for it. We parked in a lot nearby for $16 the whole day. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
