Hotel is renovating during our stay, parking is not available and front desk said valet parking only but nobody at valet parking for at least 1 hour, we have to park 2 block away. At 9 am, renovation noise woke me up, kind of annoying. Room AC has an issue but somebody come up fixed it.

We were checked in by Ty, who could not have been friendlier. He asked us what we wanted to see and gave us ideas for places to eat nearby. One of the best check in experiences ever. The rest of the staff was also be nice, especially those working the free breakfast.

Lovely staff, so-so facilities during major reno.

Wonderful staff. Bathtub did not drain. Was not informed of loud ongoing construction beforehand - or at least it was not very clear when making the reservation .

The staff was incredibly nice, the rooms could benefit from an update. Unfortunately he sink wouldn't drain and then they are require valet for parking but they don't tell you that it takes up to 30 minutes to retrieve your car because it's not parked on site.
Fariha, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

$40 valet was the only parking option available. Horribly noisy during the day due to construction inside the building. My room was clean and the staff were pleasant. No complimentary breakfast. It was ok but way too expensive for what you get.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I always stay at the Sheraton when I’m in town! This hotel is convenient to everywhere I need to go. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Anthony and Ty are great! They make me feel at home whenever I’m here. Thank you for a great stay during Christmas.
Cory, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

It has construction going on and is so noisy that you cannot stay in the room at all between 9-5
Dinesh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Under renovation!

Great, personable service. I am looking forward to staying again after the renovation. My only complaint is that Hotels.com did not mention that the hotel is under major renovation. They have done a great job adapting to meet guests’ needs during the upheaval. It just would have been nice to know when I booked.
