What guests think

At Sheraton Commander Hotel, travellers repeatedly praise the walkable Harvard Square location and friendly, helpful staff, along with comfortable, sometimes spacious rooms and classic character, making it a convenient base for campus visits and Cambridge sightseeing.

Downsides include ongoing renovations, some dated rooms with very small bathrooms, and limited in room amenities noted by some, such as no mini fridge or microwave and disposable cups. While cleanliness is frequently praised, there are several reports of bugs and occasional noise disturbances, and valet parking is convenient but expensive. Plan accordingly if modern fixtures and abundant in room extras are priorities.

Property is quite old and very expensive for the quality of the rooms and bathrooms and furnishings. Needs extensive renovation. Quite walkable from Harvard square and restaurants. On site valet has in-and-out privileges but quite expensive, but that's par for the course in Cambridge/Boston.

Staff very helpful (e.g. could walk into restaurant and just buy coffee--they were fine/very helpful); parking is expensive but at least it's right there; hotel room great--spacious, good to get work done); hotel gym much better than reviews said and nice and bright--we loved staying here!

This hotel used to feel elegant, but not anymore. Our bathroom was cramped, our room decor was drab (brown and taupe), and the artwork on the walls is a mishmash (colonial Grecian urn 1920s??) Cheap hotel chains offer more bathroom amenities and less expensive breakfast buffets. Valet parking is overpriced but they get away with it because parking is so scarce in Cambridge. No room service. On the plus side, the hotel is very clean and our bed was very comfortable. Didn’t try the restaurant

If you need to be near Harvard its all about the location, but hard to unload/load without a dedicated lot and for the price you could do better farther away. No mini fridge is sort of unheard of these days, and the bathrooms were small. Quiet though and big room, tiny elevators and no free breakfast or parking so we'll look somewhere cheaper next time.

Perfect location with a very attentive staff. The rooms were large and well appointed. A minor issue is that they are undergoing a renovation which created a less attractive decor in areas but it was no impediment to enjoying my stay

I didn’t like the hard to get to the hotel, no space for parking and the valet service is a joke!!! For $45 dollars a night is so expensive!!! The service is awful, but wen I get to check in the lady in the front desk didn’t greet me. …. She was so rude and with a really bad attitude!!! Sadly I have a car accident going to the hotel but she didn’t even care about that… the elevator is a joke and there are no safety control of any kind!!! That elevator nearly fit 3 people!!! And forget it if you have a big luggage it won’t fit… the room are renovated but have a old smell…,like something is humid, the bathroom is so small you cannot use the toilet properly!!!there where no bathrooms toiletries!!! We have to ask for it. The place smells like a fish market from the restaurant in the 1st floor, we cannot even have water because we have to pay for it $4 for water!!!! So bad experience!!!🙁 extremely desapointing!!!

This is a Cambridge landmark that Sheraton has done a nice job of cleaning up and applying a fresh coat of paint, although the "restaurant" isn't much more than a serviceable place to grab something convenient, and the rooms are clean and reasonably well appointed. My bathroom was so small that the door wouldn't open all the way because it knocked into the toilet (don't ask how they could have passed code because i can;t imagine they did).

We paid almost $900 for the night before commencement. We stayed at room 111 and it was the worst experience ever. Every 15 minutes or so, there would be this loud whirring sound that made it impossible for us to fall asleep. Felt horrible for my entire graduation day because of lack of sleep. Will definitely NOT stay at this hotel again.
