Sheets were stained, and when i ordered room service they brought me the wrong thing and it was cold and charged me 67 bucks for a sandwhich. When I tried talking to them... More

This hotel should be 2 stars at best. The rooms (and most of the hotel) are dark and musty. Air conditioner blew mold and dirt all over the bed. Stains everyonwhere in the carpet and linens. Toilet cut on and off all night. Remote was broken. Housekeeping did not restock anything during my stay. I have never been in a... More

While this hotel may not be quite four stars in terms of rooms and common areas it exceeded my expectations. We arrived around two on Friday and were promptly checked in despite the hotel being sold out for a medical convention. The desk staff was friendly and efficient as were all the staff I encountered during my brief stay. The... More

The Concierge Mary Mastrobuoni offered the most professional service I have ever received at a hotel. She was extremely friendly and helpful and was just the beginning of the warm hospitality I received from the hotel staff.

Having stayed in this hotel for a week, I got to know it pretty well. It's ok. It's actually pretty average. If you are in town for a convention, try and stay in the Lowes or the Marriott for ease of access. It's actually about a 10 minute walk from the convention centre. Its also a little tired, in another... More

Wow. Sheraton - you left me (almost) speechless this time. I am an avid SPG member, and have stayed at more SPG properties this year than in any previous year.

Stayed there for couple of nights during a business and leisure trip. Rooms are clean as expected, luxurious with a nice view on the city. Location is the best part walking distance from almost every shopping and entertainment street. No much action in the hotel itself with few normal restaurants.
