The location can't be beat if you want to explore Cambridge/Harvard and have easy access (a block and a half) to the T. Faneuil Hall is just 30 minutes away, including walking time. Great cafes, shopping and the glass flowers at Harvard's Natural History Museum are all within a five-minute walk. Our room faced the inner courtyard: light, airy, very... more

The hotel is great. Sheraton has done a great job renovating a old building. Only complaint would be the very small bathrooms. We were upgraded to the club level and the room was very well furnished. Staff was great. The parking lot is very easy to miss. We would stay again. more

As a previous posted stated, this isn't the type of Sheraton you would expect. But, it is eclectically wonderful and elegantly understated. Starwood has taken an aging building and renovated it to unveil an updated and functional hotel that blends with the community and meets the needs of most travelers. I found it to be a pleasant surprise and truly... more

This was my first trip to Cambridge and I chose the Commander because of it's location. It's less than a five minute walk to Harvard Yard, the T stop and lots of shops and eateries. I had a double room right next to the ice and vending machines and was pleasantly surprised it was extremely quiet! The room was roomy,... more

We stayed in this hotel while attending some meetings at Harvard University. Although the hotel is clean, well situated for those that go to Cambridge, and with many facilities, the rates are very high for the standard of the hotel. I got a corporate rate of c. 250 USD but advertised rates are as high as 450USD, and frankly I... more

We've stayed at the Commander 7-8 times, and at they have double-charged our credit card at least 4 times out of the eight times. It happened with reservations where the room was prepaid. They would charge us for the room again upon check out, we'd wake up the morning just before we leave, and find the room charge on the... more

I booked this trip through NWA Vacations. We stayed five nights, on the club level floor. I've stayed at this hotel in the past and was familiar with its layout and location in Cambridge. Taxi from airport--about $38 plus tip. Flat rate return rate to airport is $30 plus tolls, bringing it to about the same amount. Pluses: Reasonably priced,... more

I try to stay in this hotel each time I am in Cambridge (usually 5 - 6 times per year) and typically have an above average experience. The location is perfect if you are doing anything at Harvard. The hotel is less than 10 minutes by foot from Harvard Square and the Harvard Square Red Line stop. The rooms are... more

I recently returned from a 5 night stay at Sheraton Commander. I stay here regularly when visiting regional colleges and may begin to rethink this. The newly renovated rooms make it a nicer hotel than I first visited in 2003. As a college admissions advisor, I am often asked by parents about hotel recommendations. This hotel location is great if... more
