Good location in Harvard Square. Close to Harvard campus and a short walk to the T station. Room was clean and spacious. The front desk was polite and helpful. Wanted to extend our stay, but unfortunately the rates had increased exponentially.
Staff at the desk was very friendly and helped with early check in. The room, unlike in many big cities, was large with plenty of room to work and shades that blocked the light. Their bath products seem superior to what I remember from other Sheratons. The lotion was smooth instead of too liquidy
The door to the bathroom would not open even HALFWAY as it HIT THE TOILET!! I have never experienced anything like this in a hotel and was told by the front staff that there was nothing they could do and it was not the only room with the this situation! We are not big people at all and could barely get in the room. "Historic" is no excuse for allowing this dangerous situation and what SHOULD be a major code violation. If someone fell in this bathroom there would be NO WAY to get them out. Strongly advise finding somewhere else to stay or at least ask to inspect rooms before settling in (our room was 243). If they skimped on safety here it makes me wonder where else. This room should NOT be rented.
This is my second time staying at the Sheraton Commander in the past three months for business. My room was lovely, comfortable, and quiet. While the hotel is older, they have done a wonderful job updating what needed to be updated while keeping the charm of an historic building. I love everything about this hotel! Bed was comfortable. Plenty of ways to charge my electronic devices. Excellent wifi. Desk and chair were comfortable. The staff were always friendly and helpful and provided me literally everything I needed for a comfortable stay. They asked when I wanted maid service and provided me with extra towels, coffee cups, and all else when I didn't want to be interrupted. Harvard Square is a very short walk, 5-10 minutes. And Harvard Business School is also an easy walk, maybe 20 minutes. Plenty of restaurants close by. I will definitely be staying here again when I come back to Boston!…
We booked a room for a weekend. The location is an 8 minute walk from Harvard Square. I found the front desk to be friendly and helpful. The hotel room was small but spacious enough for the two of us. It had a small foyer with an adequate closet, a desk, and a chair with lamp for reading. There was a reading light in the room for the chair but I would have liked to been able to brighten up the space a little more. Overall, we had a very nice stay and would stay there again.
