The building is old and perhaps outdated but nicely maintained.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!

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.

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.

Take a step back in time when you go thru the doors at Stearns. We loved that lots of old features had been retained and the lady on reception was really helpful and recommended a fab place to eat a short walk away.
The outside looks run down and needs a bit of TLC.

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.
