Overall, hotel stay was nice. Feel like the property could use a little refresh. Walls are dinged, carpet is worn and not very clean. Sink in bathroom of room 200 was leaking. Water is such a huge concern in CA that I felt this reflected poorly on the overall maintenance of the property.

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.

Not really a hotel. The front desk closes at 4 pm. We are told this in a tiny little addendum at the bottom of the Expedia reservation, there is -no- indicator on the booking page when booking. They take your money and then you don’t have a room, and they say no refunds. How is this not a scam?
