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.

room 102

I had trouble checking in as I arrived after 4:30. I called help number listed and they could not find anyone after they gave me the wrong code to get the key. I was late for my dinner. Also, The bathroom was not clean it looked like someone had used it and they did not clean it. Finally, the bed needs a new mattress it is worn out on one side and lumpy. One more thing I just remembered no water. The water dispenser was empty when I got back from dinner. They Neighborhood is loud at night you should also work on the windows. I know expensive but you asked.
