“Sheraton Commander Hotel benefits greatly from its location near Harvard Square; while the refreshed interiors present well, the small bathrooms can feel a bit cramped given the price point. Nubar's take on New England cuisine adds a touch of local flavor, and the fitness center access around the clock is a definite plus for busy travelers. Ultimately, it's a solid choice if proximity trumps all else.”
