$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.

Not a great stay - Would Not Recommend

The Sheraton did not provide housecleaning, there was noisy construction daily 9-5 (no notice was provided), there appeared to be one regularly working elevator, the hathroom is poorly designed (toilet too close to the tub and 3' to the toilet paper). Would nit recommend.

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.
