Never mind the pages and pages of health code violations, the cracked tubs, the greasy carpets, the dirty beds, the overcooked food, the noise, the dry rot, the termites, roaches and mice, or the fact that they were serving (though not selling) alcohol without a liquor license until late last year. The one and only thing that the Sterling/Chanterelle has... more

I almost didn't go after reading some of the negative reviews, but I did and I am glad I did. We only stayed one night. The room (Crocker Suite) was large and clean. There was a little road noise, but it is right in the downtown area so that was not unexpected. It certainly was not unacceptable. The staff was... more

This is a great old hotel, and a perfect alternative to predictable cookie cutter chain properties. Now, you can read a lot into that sentence... It is an old hotel. Not everything can stay in perfect condition for over 100 years. I hope I can look that good when I'm that age. I think the management has done a fine... more

Thought I was going to be staying at a charming old historic hotel -- that's what it looks like from the photograph on the website. And while the façade is a beautiful old Victorian, inside its charmless, 1970s hotel furniture, bad pinkish beige walls and slightly odd smelling. The staff was very helpful, breakfast was great, I was staying there... more

One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed out. Okay, THE worst. Worse than most Motel 6's. The carpet felt greasy when I was barefoot in my room. The tub didn't drain while i was showering, so although it looked gorgous, I hate showering with water around my ankles. The TV was fuzzy and the remote didn't allow me to... more

The first impression was that this hotel was not the hotel pictured on the web site. The impression is of a Victorian house with yard in nice residential street. I might have read too much into it but the hotel looked shabbyier than the picture. The room I stayed in was the same. Not quite what was advertised. The room... more

First with the bad: You can tell this was once a beautiful hotel/residence. No longer. The owner obviously knows nothing about Victorian decor nor cares to update it to its original splendor . The lobby is Spartanly decorated with a few worn wing chairs and hideous cheap-looking Asian carpets. Where there should be gleaming hardwoods, you'll find discount tile or... more

Everything at this hotel is shabby, old and worn down. The jacuzzi tub was cracked and dirty. The windows were too. The parking was terrible. The towels were thin and the sheets were terrible. The TV was as big as my computer screen. The hot water was warm at best. This place is tacky and dirty. Nobody helps you with... more

I have travelled all over the world and this is by far the most disgustingly filthy property that I have ever seen. This was the first time in my life that I actually looked at a room and went back to the front desk to check right out. As others have mentioned, the photos are very misleading - the property... more
