Both are downtown, about equidistant from CMU (my undergrad/grad school alma mater), about 4 miles away. Neither is within walking distance, unless you're up for a 3-4 mile walk up and down the hills of the city. CMU is in the Oakland part of the city, and AFAIK there are only three nearby hotels - Residence Inn, Wyndham, Hampton.
If you're dedicated to an SPG property, and don't need to be downtown for business, the Sheraton is probably better for the reasons given above.
