Description:

  • This six-story hotel in the heart of Cambridge's historic district opened in 1927, and it's exactly what you'd expect of a traditional hostelry within sight of the Harvard campus. The elegant public areas and decent-size guest rooms share the colonial-style decor the regular clientele -- business travelers, university guests, and visiting parents -- has come to expect. Many units have canopy beds, and all have Sheraton's signature beds and plenty of accents in crimson, Harvard's school color. Ask the pleasant front-desk staff for a room facing Cambridge Common; even if you aren't on a (relatively) high floor, you'll have a pleasant view. The Sheraton Commander doesn't have the Charles Hotel's cachet and amenities, but it doesn't charge the Charles's prices, either. Plan far ahead if you're visiting during a Harvard event.

    Noisy, old and smelly

  • There's a smothery scent to this hotel, old though well-maintained and clean. It's there in the corridors and rooms. My room was disgracefully small, with a Spartan bathroom...
