My favorite spot in Sterling
Great place to relax or get things done if you need to. I come here as often as I can (2-3 times a year, if possible) even though it's hundreds of miles out of my way.

Nice stay in Sterling
Nice room with decent beds. Easy contactless check in. The only downside here is the occasional train horn sounding. The tracks are nearby.

I i was looking for a less expensive hotel to stay in. Reviews were good for oakwood inn. No amenities but clean! And nice! Places are close by If you need anything. They send you an email for verification and send you a code to get into the room. I recommend this Oakwood inn for sure!

Everything was perfectly fine. The property tends toward an older style motor inn but satisfied my needs perfectly.

A limited experience
This isn't your "typical" motel. There's no front desk or visible staff. You get a text message with the keypad code before you checkin.
There is a modified full kitchen with a 1/2 size refrigerator, stove top and microwave. The bare necessities of dishes are there. So if you are need an extended stay, this would be a good option.
For an overnight "motel" stay, you may wish to look elsewhere as there isn't even coffee.

I was surprised that the room was like an apartment complete with a small kitchen area. The room rate was very good and even though kind of dated, I did not hear anything from other guest rooms. I would definitely stay here again!

Contactless Check in yet friendly
While a bit outdated the rooms were clean (which is always my main concern) we received a text from Joe the innkeeper after we booked with our room number and door code to our room, which was great! The contactless check-in was so helpful since we had been traveling for over 8 hours and got in a bit late. it was nice not having to deal with a bunch of extra steps!

Room was clean but very uninviting and had a terrible odor. Beds uncomfortable. But ok for one night in a small town.

This place is great. The contactless check in was weird. But it’s a very classic old skool inn that’s very clean and tidy. Definitely worth the stay in my books.
