When you turn on the tv, the direct tv gives you directions to realign the tv if you want to climb on the roof to do it. The thermostat can only be set to a range of about 6 degrees so it warms up then cools way down the warms way back up again. The staff leaves at 4:30 so anything after that is tough luck until the next day. Also there is no hotel parking so you have to do paid parking so factor the parking cost about $30 - $40 a day to your cost. I will not stay there again.

The original room we were assigned had a bad heater and the room wouldn’t heat up. Since there was no one from the hotel on the premises we had to text someone to help us. Took hours to resolve by giving us another room. The new room was fine but i feel that having someone on the property would have resolved this issue much quicker.

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.
