Comfortable bed, friendly staff, convenient location. But, the carpet needed vacuuming, the outside needed sweeping, the sink cold water faucet did not work and the heater made a loud clunking sound whenever it went on throughout the night.

I wanted to love our stay at The Sterling so much more. It’s a beautiful property and the rooms are giant and gorgeous, but the lack of upkeep was really apparent. In our first floor room, the 2 upholstered armchairs by the window were both stained, one with a 10” stain right in the center of the seat. One of the lace drapes from our bay windows was missing. And the jacuzzi was giant and generally clean, but was cracked and the jet nozzles looked concerning enough where I didn’t necessarily trust it to be a hygienic experience if we were to use the jacuzzi feature. In the common area, there was a water machine, but it didn’t work. So we ended up just filling our water bottles from the tap. We had a self check-in experience with a digital key on our phone, which was really convenient, though we didn’t see a single person during our stay. So there was no receptionist or anyone from the hotel staff on the property, day or night. It was an extremely quiet stay, as we didn’t see or hear any sign or anyone else being in the hotel with us the whole time we were there. The quietness and the comfort of the bed made for great sleeping conditions, though the light from the always-lit parking lot adjacent to our room made it very difficult to get sleep because it pierced right through the drapes. Iprobably wouldn’t stay here again in the future, as I just expected so much more from a hotel stay experience. It’s a bummer, though, because this place has so much potential.

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 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.

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.

Magnificent Interior Design and Spacious Rooms
The hotel is in an amazing old building, in keeping with the area and historical nature of Sacramento, if slightly eccentric in its interior design. Our room was magnificent with high ceilings, antique-looking furniture, lots of space and comfort. The in-room hot tub was modern and worked -- it was a great and memorable stay! There's no front desk clerk and no breakfast or other services to be seen. Parking is not particularly convenient and costs. So, it worked for me, but is not "full service" if that is what you need.
