Loved the location, the room was clean, breakfast was nice. I sure do hate that the necklace I left in the room was not turned in by the person who was in charge of cleaning the room after we left. Hope they're happy with the necklace my daughter bought for me that is now stolen property.

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.

A Classic hotel

We were thrilled with the Stearns Hotel. This hotel is a classic and from the moment I walked in I knew we made a great choice. The interior is spectacular, classic historical. Our room was simple but very comfortable and quiet.

Such a cool place to stay.

Very nice hotel, found out it was built in 1903. It was updated as needed, but still kept the charm of an old hotel. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and the staff was great. Can't wait to stay there again.
