We loved our stay at the Stearns. For years we have been using other hotels and motels in the area but I will always check availability at this one first - from now on. It has a very "fancy" feel, for a very good rate. The staff was super-friendly. Lots of cool areas that offer great backgrounds for photos or selfies. If you like a nightcap, there is a very cool bar inside but - open only certain days. Parking is no problem and it is right around the corner if you plan to take the U.S.S. Badger!

Nice Clean Old Hotel

I loved the old building and the look back in time. Everything was very clean and in working order. The hotel in itself was very warm, uncomfortably so, but the air conditioning in the room worked well, so we slept fine. Great location. No complaints.
