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.
