Stayed at this property about 20 times during past year. It is a good Sheraton. A bit on the pricey side. It tends to "book up" for mid-week stays... so get your reservations in early.
The rooms are all done nicely...
Before the lounge was refurbished, they gave free breakfast downstairs... which was very good. However, the lounge is open and the food there is a bit "skimpy"..
The a.m. lounge hostess is very nice and will "talk up a storm" if you invite conversation. Very friendly.
Ask for a corner room... There are at least 4 corner "junior suites" and two in the middle of each floor. They are a bit larger... although oddly shaped. The views are very nice.
Don't be fooled by the size of the building... as the bottom 2/3s is office space. The hotel floors are on the top. It never seems busy and generally has a very quite atmosphere.
When booking... don't just take whatever rate that comes up for the whole week.. check each night individually. If they are full mid-week.. often, the Thursday or Sunday will have less expensive rates. I've split my bookings up several times and saved a lot of money over what was quoted on SPG.COM.
Has a nice pool / workout area. Never seems busy.
