I'm going to give the Sheraton Boston Hotel a solid 4.5 stars. I'm not sure WHY the reviews in 2022 were so low, but I'm going to come on here and say that my husband and I had a wonderful experience.
We booked our reservations in advance prior to knowing if we would get into the Boston Marathon - just in case the rates went up. We were glad we did because they were full / no vacancies weeks afterwards.
The hotel is about 20-25 mins from the airport. We took a Lyft/Uber from airport to hotel and it was smooth (other than the normal Boston traffic during rush hour).
The hotel check-in process was easy - we were given the 29th floor and the views were spectacular! Our large King bed was comfy, lots of drawers, outlets for chargers, HUGE TV, spacious bathroom and wonderful room accommodations.
We front desk staff were communicative, very fast when we called down and asked for things, the cleaning people were friendly/polite and helped us get some supplies that we needed.
On the 5th floor, you'll find the pool (great for families), pool lounge area, towels readily accessible, a strength gym room (weights, yoga mats, gym bench, etc) and a cardio room (think treadmill, Peloton bikes, elliptical machine). I used the gyms everyday and glad that they had these available as the weather was COLD and I didn't want to run outside!
The reason why I had to deduct 1 star was because both Peloton Bikes were broken (the seats would not adjust). I saw the maintenance man working on the bikes but it was discouraging as one of the major factors of us booking this hotel was because they had Peloton bikes available. Please fix asap!
The lobby area of this hotel is HUGE! Extremely spacious if you don't want to spend your free time in your hotel room, lots of seating, chairs, tables and they have a Side Bar area with TVs, food/dining/breakfast options. They have a large bathroom in their lobby as well!
The best part of these hotel is that it is centrally located. There are various entry points and you can get to multiple Boston landmarks from this hotel. You can easily get to the Prudential Center / Mall (there is a Sweet Greens, Blue Bottle Coffee Shop, Pressed Cafe, and Eataly very very close to the hotel) and you can also have access points to the main streets of Boylston and Newbury!
4.5 stars out of 5, would recommend to family and friends. I would stay here again!
