Hotel was beautiful and the room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. I would stay here again. Bed was comfortable. Hotel was close to downtown, close to coffee shops and other businesses.
There was a small washer and dryer in the room. Unfortunately the washer leaked onto some of my belongings next to it. The dryer was way too noisy to use. We called the front desk but our only option was to use guest laundry but we would have to pay and I didn't have any cash with me. We had to dry our clothes at a laundromat after checking out.

This is a building that is trying to maintain its historical charm, which I think is appealing. Room was larger than most I have stayed in with double Queen beds, bathroom had a larger than most tub/shower which was very clean, newly updated flooring a toilet. The wall mounted TV qas high enough where your feet don't block the view while laying down.
The hallway certainly was a surprise being very wide. Key entry but wasnt excited there was no secondary lock of some sort. I assume the panels on the door and transom above where there to protect the original glass behind them. Refigerator with a small freezer compartment was good. Parking was right down a slight incline to the left/south of building, use the drive thru if your handicapped maybe.
The bed was fine but not 5 stars, we slept good so all in all I'd stay again.
Coffee and treats in the morning were supplied in the lobby at 6am, no coffee maker in the room. The staff at check in and check out were very nice too. At check in they provided a map of the town for places close by to eat, many within walking distance. A simple drive once off the ferry as well.

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!

Severe severe updates needed

The hotel needs some vast updating. The bathroom was severely old and the paint that they had applied on the tub was peeling. The carpet was very worn. The furniture look like it was from the 1970s. It generally needs some severe updating. We will not be staying there again.

It is clean, and the staff is nice, but it is a very old hotel. I’m pretty sure they want to show off the old charm, but they could update some of the furniture in the rooms and also the bathtubs. There was a king bed, two small side tables, and one very small round table with two chairs, one luggage rack and a few hangers in. Really nowhere for two people to put their clothes. Also, not enough outlets.

Old hotel (1901), but well maintained. Probably would not be desirable for younger families, but we are elderly and the hotel brought back thoughts of the old grand hotels of decades ago. In town, so walking distance to food and shops. Rooms were like 124 years ago, but modern bathrooms and furniture. Lobby was like 1901! Highly recommend for older generations.

The lobby may be historic but the room was just old. Door opened with one of those keys you can drop in any mailbox if you forget to turn it in. Could probably pick the lock with a Bobby pin. No secondary locks at all. Tiny room. Finish wearing off the tub and paint cracking and peeling on doors. Furniture looks like stuff your grandmother brought to goodwill. TV was good and bed comfortable but small.

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.

The hotel was 120 years old and was very unique.

Hotel very dated but acceptable. We were on the third floor and water pressure was weak. Otherwise good.

Great Hotel

Enjoyed our 1 night stay prior to taking the ferry the next day. The room was small but that was expected from previous reviews. Met all our needs. Very clean and comfortable.

Will not return to this hotel.

We spent 3 nights at Stearns Hotel, and will not be back. The hotel was very shabby and had a pervasive foul smell throughout, particularly in the entire lobby area. It was something like a mixture of really bad coffee, stale cigarette smoke and a poorly maintained latrine. The coffee in the room and the lobby was as bad as we've ever had, and our room had a smell the A/C unit could not dispel, even when cranked down low with the fan constantly roaring on high. Fortunately the bed was comfortable, but that's the best thing our stay had going for it. We spent as little time at the hotel as possible, staying out later then we normally would just to avoid going back there. I also think it was unreasonably expensive for such poor quality. We only chose it because we needed to be close to the marina where our friends live on their boat, which was not large enough to accommodate guests, and there were no other options close by.
