Convenient location for shopping and eating
I stayed at the Sheraton Boston for 3 nights for a conference. The conference spaces were very nice; comfortable, pens, paper, and water always available. For some reason I was placed in a handicap-accessible room so I had a very spacious bathroom. The hotel has a program that offers you $5 to one of the hotel restaurants (including Starbucks) or 500 member points if you forgo cleaning services ($5/night) so if you are alone and don't need much cleaning done this is a nice perk - a free Starbucks drink in the morning or a free (cheaper?) cocktail in the evening. I thought there was a hot tub at this hotel so I was very disappointed when that was not the case. The first night the pool was closed but I believe it was only for a day. The hotel is within walking distance to the Prudential center and various shopping and restaurants. In the lobby there is free wi-fi (but you have to pay for it in your room) as well as computer stations for you to access the internet. There was also some sort of interactive game table in this area where I saw people playing chess on what looked like a tv-sized iPod touch table. I had a nice stay, but if I were paying for the hotel myself I would have been pretty annoyed at the lack of free wi-fi. I don't know why high-end hotels don't offer this as part of their price.
