Under renovation!

Great, personable service. I am looking forward to staying again after the renovation. My only complaint is that Hotels.com did not mention that the hotel is under major renovation. They have done a great job adapting to meet guests’ needs during the upheaval. It just would have been nice to know when I booked.

I always stay at the Sheraton when I’m in town! This hotel is convenient to everywhere I need to go. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Anthony and Ty are great! They make me feel at home whenever I’m here. Thank you for a great stay during Christmas.
