Comfortable and Cozy

My stay there was very comfortable and cozy. Check-in was easy. I had a broken air conditioner and they changed me to a different room with ease. On Check-out day my key was demagnified. I downloaded the keyless app but it would not open my door. I called the emergency number and left a message, but no response. The front desk note reads that someone would be there by 8:30am. Being locked out of my room i could not checkout. I left for breakfast at 10am and the front desk was still unoccupied. I was very disappointed. I had to return at noon to checkout. I really recommend that you have a 24 hour phone number in case of emergencies.

Did the job! A cool 3 min walk to SAFE convention

We stayed at the Sterling for a business trip for conference at the SAFE convention center. It was a cool 3 min walk to the conference wc was my primary reason for booking. It was also relatively short walking distance to Immortal Coffee and our partner's office for a convening. The front desk was responsive when I reached out and provided everything we needed to both check in/out and send reimbursements to our finance team. Overall good stay but if you want more fancy and concierge would likely recommend elsewhere.

Business stay. Will probably not return.

Prior to stay, multiple emails and phone calls to hotel, for confirmation of check-in procedures, and a late-check-out request, went unanswered until last-minute. All calls currently go to an off-site phone bank, not the front desk, and they do not have access to reservation information, so they cannot help. Check-in at the hotel desk took one (1) hour to get into room. There were Keurig cups in the room, but the one machine was located in the lobby, and there was a sign asking to not use the Keurig and the microwave at the same time. (These are observations from my boss, whom I booked on behalf of.)
