Sheraton Boston Hotel

First two nights in Boston spent at the Sheraton. First thing to note is that this is a conference based hotel and there are no facilities for breakfast, lunch or dinner although there is an on site mini market of sorts. You want food, you have to eat outside of the hotel, although there is a late evening to early morning bar but this is unsuitable for minors. Second thing to note, parking. You can park your car in an adjacent car park but for a slightly higher rate ($58 a night) you can get the hotel staff to do it for you and is a god send when you've just fallen off the flight, have a hire car and are tired and just want to turn in. Third thing to note, security. You can't get access to the accommodation floors without a room key card, as you need the card to operate the lift to get it to work. Made sending the kids down the hallway to the ice machine more secure and safe. The hotel itself is a bit away from the action, Boston proper, but it takes around half an hour for a moderate walker to reach Boston Common and then into the old town. Plenty of food stops along the way to drop into and refresh yourself, we arrived during the heatwave in Boston and to say the weather was offensive is an understatement. But the real crowning glory, the swimming pool on the 5th floor along with the gymnasium. The roof rolls back to allow you to enjoy the surrounding skyline while having a quiet dunk in the pool, and after a long trip this is a real life saver. Yes, I'd come back again.

Great location for walking to all attractions. Parking quite pricy but this has been the same at most hotels, also quite a walk from car par to hotel through a mall. Quite small rooms, but adequate. Again reception staff professional but not too welcoming.

The Sheraton Boston Hotel is conveniently located by Fenway Park which is a short 15 minute walk away. It is also connected to the Prudential Center and Eataly Boston, a must experience Italian food venue! The hotel rooms are small and the bathroom is very small. Cleanliness in the room was marginal. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming as was the valet service.
