Bill

Disliked: Amenities
When you turn on the tv, the direct tv gives you directions to realign the tv if you want to climb on the roof to do it. The thermostat can only be set to a range of about 6 degrees so it warms up then cools way down the warms way back up again. The staff leaves at 4:30 so anything after that is tough luck until the next day. Also there is no hotel parking so you have to do paid parking so factor the parking cost about $30 - $40 a day to your cost. I will not stay there again.

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.

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!
