Staff was amazing! Breakfast had so many options, quiche, waffles, fresh fruit, sausage, hard boiled eggs…. Room was very clean. Small market store in lobby. Lobby area with a tv and tons of seating. Nice workout room. But again, staff was incredible!

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,008 reviews)
My fifth year staying at the Sheraton and it keeps getting better. Yes, it may be an older builing that has "older building problems" but it still stands strong. Paid garage parking, hourly and daily rates do apply. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Jamal is one of the best there is. The rooms may not have mini fridges or microwaves to heat up your Jimmy V's leftovers, but I understand food so good is rarely in a takeout box. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud, There is ample outlets and plug-ins for all your chargers. Shower pressure is devine, for me it is perfect. The Shearton is a great place that has history around it and is close to everyday activities.
