Location is great - Close to downtown and the river. Bed was very comfortable. But the fixtures and furnishings in this hotel very much need updating

The room was nice and big, beds were comfortable, room was very clean. We were there on a Monday night in July and didn't even see anyone else in the hotel!

We loved our stay at the Stearns. For years we have been using other hotels and motels in the area but I will always check availability at this one first - from now on. It has a very "fancy" feel, for a very good rate. The staff was super-friendly. Lots of cool areas that offer great backgrounds for photos or selfies. If you like a nightcap, there is a very cool bar inside but - open only certain days. Parking is no problem and it is right around the corner if you plan to take the U.S.S. Badger!

Nice Clean Old Hotel

I loved the old building and the look back in time. Everything was very clean and in working order. The hotel in itself was very warm, uncomfortably so, but the air conditioning in the room worked well, so we slept fine. Great location. No complaints.

I like the location. The exterior of the building needs repairs. The room needs to be updated. Shower / tub is in very poor condition.

The building is old and perhaps outdated but nicely maintained. Really enjoyed the inside features of the common areas of the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly staff!

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.
