We stayed at the Sheraton Commander for a getaway in mid-December. The room was very nice, we had a corner room overlooking Cambridge common with a sitting area, a king bed and a study nook. The bathroom was normal sized. The hotel was very low occupancy but there was a couple across the hall that got engaged the night before.... more

The hotel is charming but has been well maintained. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was very small so would have been difficult with 2 people but if you're traveling alone it's fine. You could hear the noise from the street (at least from my room which faced Garden St) but at night things were pretty quiet. I... more

This is a good hotel if you want explore the Harvard/Cambridge area of Boston. Location wise it's great because you can just walk and be in a great mix of people, shops and restaurants. It is within a 5 minute walking distance from the MTA Red line station. Yes it is older, but it is not worn. The rooms have... more

Following a spate of terrible experiences at Sheraton properties in places such as Chicago and New York, I was relieved to discover that the brand isn't doomed. The Commander stands for everything that a Sheraton should, from the free wi-fi in the lobby to the well-appointed rooms to the friendly service to walkable distance to Harvard campus. Well done! more

The location can't be beat if you want to explore Cambridge/Harvard and have easy access (a block and a half) to the T. Faneuil Hall is just 30 minutes away, including walking time. Great cafes, shopping and the glass flowers at Harvard's Natural History Museum are all within a five-minute walk. Our room faced the inner courtyard: light, airy, very... more

The hotel is great. Sheraton has done a great job renovating a old building. Only complaint would be the very small bathrooms. We were upgraded to the club level and the room was very well furnished. Staff was great. The parking lot is very easy to miss. We would stay again. more

As a previous posted stated, this isn't the type of Sheraton you would expect. But, it is eclectically wonderful and elegantly understated. Starwood has taken an aging building and renovated it to unveil an updated and functional hotel that blends with the community and meets the needs of most travelers. I found it to be a pleasant surprise and truly... more

This was my first trip to Cambridge and I chose the Commander because of it's location. It's less than a five minute walk to Harvard Yard, the T stop and lots of shops and eateries. I had a double room right next to the ice and vending machines and was pleasantly surprised it was extremely quiet! The room was roomy,... more

We stayed in this hotel while attending some meetings at Harvard University. Although the hotel is clean, well situated for those that go to Cambridge, and with many facilities, the rates are very high for the standard of the hotel. I got a corporate rate of c. 250 USD but advertised rates are as high as 450USD, and frankly I... more
