I would say so - Goldener Hirsch is in my opinion not worth the premium given how old, small and dated the place is (and loud).
As others said, the Sheraton is maybe not the most beautiful property and the lobby/ restaurant are a bit dated, but they have now (at least when I was there last time early 2020) several floors/ rooms completely refurbished.
Its right in the middle between main station and the old town, but you can walk it in 10mins through a nice park (Mirabellengarten) so I would say it is conveniently located.
