So yes this hotel is a block from semi sketchiness but it's also super convenient to the Harbor, Charles St., the light rail, etc. The common areas definitely need sprucing up but the room itself was nice, big bed, good bathroom and decent products. I asked for an upper floor and had a great view. I also asked for a late check out which the very nice night guy John said was no problem (he was the best front desk person; the bellhop and some other random people were nice too). This was all being a Priceline customer too so that was cool (had a rate of $63 so can't complain).
There are places to eat within two blocks on Charles St. so that person was wrong. Nice restaurant in the Hotel Monaco, Irish Pub, a couple others right on Charles. I walked to E. Saratoga past the hospital by myself and didn't worry about it. Only went to the Lexington Mkt on the west side of Charles and even on a Mon. afternoon, it's an interesting sea of humanity but nothing that worried me. Would hope to Priceline the Sheraton Harbor again but this was fine.
