Recent one-night stay:

1) Upgrade to a fairly large 1BR suite. Dated decor, but fine.
2) No club lounge - this is probably the first full-service US Sheraton that I can recall that (COVID-excepted) didn't have a lounge.
3) Pool and gym closed - I saw a warning about the pool dates (no biggie) but the room with the machines / weights was also closed (they brought the dumbbells to a temp cardio room, but this was not sufficient.
4) The "Continental" breakfast was ok enough (I really only wanted coffee and some fruit/yogurt), but the hot $7 add didn't look worth it.
5) 4pm checkout without a blink.
6) Someone pulled the fire alarm at 3am (I asked at check-out what the incident was) - after further instruction, we were told to evacuate. By the time I got dressed and went to the stairwell (which was packed), BFD gave the all clear. I saw a BFD engine leaving the property when I looked out the window after returning to my room. I was glad to be on the 10th floor, given that I was about to walk down 10 flights. This incident wasn't the hotel's fault, but quite the annoying turn of events.
7) Location great for the Logan Express bus. I didn't expect that I'd be spending $3 total for my airport transportation.
8) Front desk insufficiently staffed at check-in.

Was upgraded to a river view suite. Lounge still closed. Restaurant also closed due to renovations. Havent stayed here in a while and wasnt expecting that. Probably would have chosen another hotel had I known before I arrived. Pillow quality is also very low.

Apparently the whole hotel is finally undergoing a long overdue renovation. Next year it should be nicer.

Stayed here end of April in a River View Premium. Was on single occupancy so the size was very convenient. It will still be ok for two but i would suggest a larger room if you are coming in with two or more suitcases. Dining was a disappointment as there are no in-house dining options (currently). Good news is that it is temporary and there are plenty of options in the connected mall although i would prefer to have the in-house option. Room was very well maintained, clean and comfortable.
Location was good. I would have said great if i hadnt seen the Marriott at the Seaport . Sheraton is on the main street with plenty of shopping and dining options. Walking distance to the Public Gardens, Commons and Newbury Street. so plenty to do nearby.

Any updates on when the renovations are expected to be completed? Looking at possibly staying here in December but if renovations are still ongoing, I will look elsewhere.
