“Dreadful.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed her for a night on Oct 20 2011.
I had the misfortune of being very unwell and on my own that night, in a hotel and far away from family and friends in the UK.

"Positives"
(1)clean rooms but outdated decor - pink -tiled bathroom from the 70's!
(2)is definitely a corporate hotel - would be more appropriate for a business person
(3) I was allowed to check in an hour early when I mentioned to the receptionist that I was unwell and she offered to have tea sent to the room and assured me that there was availabilty for the next night if I was unable to fly home the next day.

Negatives!!!
I could have essentially died in that room and no-one would have known.
No tea arrived (although I was so sick I didn't really care) and no-one called to see if I was okay - it is of course possible that I was expecting too much, especially from such a large hotel but maybe some concern if a guest, checking in on her own, mentions she is unwell and breaks down in tears in front of you at check in???
I was suffering from acute vertigo and became so unwell that after several hours of trying, managed to bundle myself into a cab and go to AE at Brigham and Womens Hospital - three hours in AE, $3000 bill but life savers.
I eventually woke up at 11 the next morning, marginally better but still not well. Having spent 30 mins trying to get through to the front desk, I ordered room service and mentioned to the lady on the phone that I couldn't check out straightaway. She informed me that the hotel was full (thankfully I was able to fly that day) and said I could stay in the room for another 4 hours at a cost of $100. I was so desperate that I of course paid the money to stay in the room.

I eventually left the hotel at 4 o'clock and flew home that evening.

The Sheraton is a large, corporate hotel and it is possible that a smaller hotel would have offered a more personal service.The staff are polite but I would be hard pushed to say they have any genuine interest in their customers - noone seemed interested in " doing that little bit extra" to make the stay more pleasurable.

Maybe if one was on business, this hotel ticks all the boxes and it certainly was busy.

For a person on holiday, this is not the hotel for you! It is clean but seriously outdated in terms of decor, impersonal and overpriced.

“Great location for business and vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Stayed at Boston Sheraton for a conference and brought my wife along so we could vacation afterwards. Our room was comfortable and clean. Service was quick and easily contacted. Easy walking distance to most Boston attractions. Would gladly return on our next visit to Boston.

“Large corporate-conference type hotel, but does a good job of it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I am not the biggest fan of these huge American hotel chains, but for a conference venue it ticked all the boxes. The rooms were comfortable, although the bathroom needed a face-over. Internet in the room was not reliable and colleagues had the same experience, but always worked in the lobby as a back-up.
Good location for shopping and very close to the flag ship Apple store. I would recommend Newbury St. for clothes shopping.
The swimming pool was a big plus and the gym was reasonably good although split between two rooms separated by the pool (water in the room with the running machines would have been nice!).
It feels very corporate-conference type hotel, so if you are in Boston for vacation you may want something more personal.

“Would have been great, if not for one issue ...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The location of this hotel is awesome. Walking distance to Fenway Park, and a ton of great pubs and restaurants just right around the corner. Check in was easy, the staff were all great, and the room was clean and comfortable. We we're in town to catch a couple games at Fenway Park, and it was cool to see the visiting teams we're staying in this same hotel.

The only issue was one night while sitting in the hotel bar, there was a mouse running around on the floor that couldn't seem to find his way back into his home. It was enough to make us get up and leave; very disgusting.

“Excellent Location and Property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

The Boston Sheraton is a great business hotel, having a perfect location being in the
center of 2 large shopping malls, Newburry street etc.
Rooms are very comfortable, clean and most of the rooms have a great view.
Direct acces to shopping malls which enables you to dress light.

Room Tip: Try upper floors for the view
