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.

The place is cute and memorable, clean, functional, very comfortable, and very handy to downtown Sacramento. A downside was the lack of staff onsite after 4:30 (driving long distances I can rarely make that sort of deadline). And the morning staff did not seem to be involved or willing to interact. I was able to get helpful personnel on the phone after hours, however. But it took me (and them!) about an hour to figure out that the entrance I came to was not the main one, which was around the corner on a different street. The written directions did not specify thiere was more than one plausible-looking entrance, and there was no sign on the "wrong" door directing newbies like me to the right place. Also, the parking garage mentioned in the directions, which is a couple of blocks away, was locked and looked like it was not even open to the general public. But there is a perfectly good parking garage just a block away on the same street the hotel is on, just around the corner from the main entrance.

Interesting

This place was really cool! We checked in on a Sunday, so no one was at the desk. The digital key didn’t really work for us, so we were grateful for the room keys in the lockbox. We didn’t have bathroom amenities, which was mostly fine (we travel with shampoo and conditioner, etc.). It was weird that there wasn’t any hand soap for our bathroom, so we had to get some. The place was gorgeous and comfortable!

The ad said they have room service which was False. Deli and snack bar wasn't much and I had to go somewhere else to get beers. Had to get special key to use elevator to street as front steps we're too hard for me. Handicapped people would probably need to call to have them meet them since you need a electric card to get in. Beautiful room. Beautiful property.two blocks from UC Davis Health Pavillion Theatre.

Charming, nice design and pleasant staff. Key card situation is awful, and there’s no place to hang out on the property without feeling you are disturbing people. Rooms need fans, windows or to clean the returns on HVAC to get stale air out. Shower heads could use an update because it’s a hassle.

Nicely renovated Victorian

Great location if your destination is the State Capital, downtown, Old Sac. I love Victorian buildings and this one is nicely renovated. Big room, nice bathroom (one of the shower doors did not slide well.

When booking a hotel on orbitz, I expect a normal check in experience, not one that is contactless, with multiple text messages from an unknown number and keys left in lock boxes. The building itself was unique and older, and fine for the price point. Tub and sink were cracked, and showing their age. But overall was about what I expected, and convenient location.

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!

We got one of the suites and the bathroom made the stay so worth it! The bath was amazing and clean. The room itself is really spacious and in a clean condition. Some of the stuff is out dated (tv, lighting, plumbing) but the aesthetics made up for it. We parked in a lot nearby for $16 the whole day. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Great value in historic building

Short overnight for business trip. Once you download the app, communication and lockbox for key access was great. Never met any staff, but was not an issue. Historic building, generous and nicely appointed room. Bathtub has seen better days, but no complaints.
