Nice Place, Okay location
I was at this hotel for a conference, so it's not a hotel I chose. There are actually two Sheraton locations real close to each other and I think they're the same hotel, just different "towers", which are maybe a 10-15 walk apart. I stayed in the marina tower of the main hotel. I was impressed with the lobby and the first impressions of the place, very nice, big and open. My room was large, with a balcony overlooking downtown. Every room has a balcony which I liked. The bathroom and room was clean, and I'm usually pretty picky about that. I was disappointed there was no microwave or even fridge in the room. There was a mini-bar, but it was not cold and it was riduculously overpriced. The staff was nice, but I didn't need their assistance hardly at all. My main disappointment was the location, for a few different reasons. First, it's literally across the street from the airport. I could easily hear the planes from my room, but at night there weren't many, so sleeping at night was okay. But they start again around 6 am. Secondly, this hotel is 2.8 miles walking distance to Seaport Village and douwntown which is a shopping area on the water. I know it's 2.8 miles becasue I walked it several times, which, at a brisk pace took me about 45 minutes. I did not have a car, but if I did, I'd have to pay over $20/day to park it. There is no entertainment or dining within walking distance. There are two restaurants in the hotel, one nice one and one bar/pub. And also a Starbucks. Both are overpriced. I paid $22 for breakfast buffet. $16 for a burger. However, if you walk along the marina towards the other tower, there is a deli along the sidewalk open around 7am-5pm-ish that serves breakfast and lunch/dinner that has good food at a reasonable price. I found this place on day 3 of 3 of my conference and wish I had found it earlier, as the lunch served at my conference was awful. Lastly, I was surprised they didn't have wireless in the ballroom/conference rooms. This made a work-related conference inconvenient. Overall this was a nice hotel, but I was very disappointed in the location and how they nickel and dime you for everything.
