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.
