A quaint hotel which takes you back to a time when life was a lot simpler, It has the feel of a 1950's decor. Very clean and a little worn and dated. I will stay here next summer when I return.

Take a step back in time when you go thru the doors at Stearns. We loved that lots of old features had been retained and the lady on reception was really helpful and recommended a fab place to eat a short walk away. The outside looks run down and needs a bit of TLC.

Not impressed...

The building is very old. It felt like a funeral parlor when entering. The rooms were very small and bathroom even smaller. There was not even any counter space to set your toothbrush on...an exaggeration but nonetheless... The room only had one side table with a lamp next to the bed. The other side had nothing. For the amount of money paid, we were very disappointed and glad it was only a one night stay. The hotel is in desperate need of updating.

The building and rooms are historic and beautiful. It will not be your taste if you like modern! The place is well taken care of and staff was very helpful. It is right on the edge of the downtown area so very convenient for catching the boat and dining nearby. Bed was comfortable and had good water pressure in the large bathtub. I liked it.

Everything was five star except the overall score. We loved the atmosphere and real hotel (not motel) environment. It was like stepping back in time. Super clean. However, I down graded the overall score for two reasons: first, the firm bed was the hardest bed I slept on in the seven motels/VRBO stays within the previous two weeks; second, the AC temperature varied such that there was a cold-warm-cold-warm cycle all night. I could have overlooked the AC issue if the bed had not been so firm.
