8.2/10 Very Good! (981 reviews)
The parking was great after 10pm (free) I hesitated parking in the garage it was confusing and expensive for the short amount of time left 10pm to 6am was $23.00, I was worried about being charged an additional $23.00 after 6am.. I ended up parking next to the hotel after 10pm. I paid $3.00 in the morning at 830am to 11am, which was check out time. My ONLY ISSUE with The Sterling Hotel was internet access and Wifi was absolutely NOT available and very frustrating. Good thing for hotspots.

8.6/10 Excellent! (185 reviews)
The hotel room was clean, the beds were comfortable, check-in was quick, and the staff were courteous and provided thorough information. The hotel is in a very convenient location—just across the road from Lake Tahoe. There’s a small restaurant nearby where you can have breakfast.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (206 reviews)
The staff was absolutely wonderful! Arrived very late at night and it was wonderful to have such a kind person help with check in. I didn’t stay long enough to enjoy the grounds. Had a better breakfast been available, I would have considered having breakfast there. The “coffee shop” options could be much better at a Westin.
