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.

Me and my crew of 8 were passing through doing the Lake Michigan Circle Tour on our Harleys from Chicago. This was our first overnight stop and was really nice. I didn’t get her name but the young lady who checked us in was great, very hospitable and professional. Will definitely stay here again if we’re passing through.

I liked the feeling of a previous era and still providing everything I would have needed or desired. Only one thing I would mention is that the air conditioner unit was rather loud. Otherwise I was very happy with my stay.

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.
