Did the job! A cool 3 min walk to SAFE convention

We stayed at the Sterling for a business trip for conference at the SAFE convention center. It was a cool 3 min walk to the conference wc was my primary reason for booking. It was also relatively short walking distance to Immortal Coffee and our partner's office for a convening. The front desk was responsive when I reached out and provided everything we needed to both check in/out and send reimbursements to our finance team. Overall good stay but if you want more fancy and concierge would likely recommend elsewhere.

Business stay. Will probably not return.

Prior to stay, multiple emails and phone calls to hotel, for confirmation of check-in procedures, and a late-check-out request, went unanswered until last-minute. All calls currently go to an off-site phone bank, not the front desk, and they do not have access to reservation information, so they cannot help. Check-in at the hotel desk took one (1) hour to get into room. There were Keurig cups in the room, but the one machine was located in the lobby, and there was a sign asking to not use the Keurig and the microwave at the same time. (These are observations from my boss, whom I booked on behalf of.)

Property was great, location convenient. The contactless check needs a little tweaking. But the text messaging was immediate. Read your check in instructions.

The keyless entry didn’t work. The absence of any staff is ridiculous. The room smelled like an explosion of Febreeze.

The checkin procedures for obtaining the hard key were cumbersome and the cell based e key didn't work for any of us on the first day. The hallways and my room didn't appear clean; they could have used a good vacuuming; most of the light bulbs in my room on the chandelier either didn't light or they flickered. Overall attention to the facility was lacking.

I would recommend downloading all the mobile apps prior to arriving at the hotel. It took 20 minutes standing outside the hotel before I was able to enter the lobby. It was frustrating not having the WIFI password in advance. It definitley would have made it quicker to download all the required apps.
