Sterling Gardens

Decent room for pricing and...

Liked: The bed was comfortable, and shower itself was good.
Disliked: The room and bathroom we stayed were very old and needs a lot of repairs, painting and/or remodeling. Could make a good use of one more chair since not desk was available. Very simple accommodations even though the room has a small kitchen.

Do not book

Liked: The room decor was cute & room came with microwave and fridge.
Disliked: It advertised non smoking available. Turned out all the rooms were. When I arrived, the 1st thing the girl said to me was, due to the guest before me, I had no TV unless I wanted to use my own Netflix account. I asked if I could have a different room, she said none available, but, some obvious long term guests said that was not true. I entered my room and the decor was kinda cute, big stop sign, route 66 & other road signs on wall but, that is where my acceptance of the room ended. The floor was dirty, like obvious spills that they attempted to pull a table in middle of room, far from couch to cover. I then had to use my cell to call office ( no phone in room) where to get ice, I was told 711 down the street. I called again to ask if there was a blow dryer or iron available and was told yes but, girl had to go collect it from another guest and no ironing board. Next thing I noticed was no curtain on bathroom window, I couldn't see out but, had no idea what view from other side was. The sink and tub were dirty as was the back and bottom of toilet, window sills and wooden bed frame very dusty. There was a desk but, no light bulb in light and no other light on that side of room. The plastic blinds in windows had several gaps that I spent a lot of time doing the best I could to fix which brings me to the area, I had some unwanted attention from several guests/residents? And, some uncomfortable interaction. I decided to walk the half block over to 711 for ice and regretted that the moment I got there, I had intended to walk just one more light down to go to a market but, 50 steps later I turned around and called for uber. There were scary folks all over the place and immediately I knew I was not in a safe place. My uber driver pulled right up to my side as he could see I was getting unwanted attention from some men in front of 711 . I jumped in his car & he said, neither of us belonged in that neighborhood and rushed us out of there.

Poor

Disliked: I didn't feel safe. The gate was open all night and no one at the door. Someone kept knocking on my door during the night and we almost thought of calling the police
