Beautiful work of art. Would love to stay there again. Some minor cosmetics, but a wonderful building.

NO STAFF ON SITE. which was very disappointing and eerie. there needs to be a staff member present at all times, especially for safety. I did not feel at ease.
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.
Beautiful place to stay and conveniently located near all the Midtown food options. Have to find your own parking but otherwise will definitely stay again!
Everything about this place is so charming! Yes- there will be a wedding Saturday night but it hardly impacts your stay! It’s great to see the people dressed up and celebrating!

The fan in the bathroom sounded like it was gonna blow up, the room could’ve been cleaned a little better. No breakfast in the morning was disappointing.
