In the heart of the University of Pennsylvania, this Sheraton is a bit oddly designed with a tiny lobby and hidden bank of elevators on the first floor, but upstairs it is a standard Sheraton. I was upgraded at check in to a nice Club Level room which was recently renovated in a tasteful if not very adventurous style. Bed... More

Easy access to UPenn campus makes this a no-brainer. Satisfied with a clean, comfortable stay. Not the fanciest place (hotel lobby is ho-hum), and I had difficulty getting the heating in my room to operate properly (hold down the temperature buttons, and you'll need to constantly jack up the temperature to get the unit to kick in instead of just...

Place was affordable, parking is on premises and $25 a night. Internet is free and there is a computer in each room. Starbucks coffee in the rooms and there is a Starbucks a minute from the hotel. The blue line is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. There are a few cool little spots a block down from... More

If you're looking for convenience, this hotel has it. There are some great restaurants within walking distance. The train station is a short cab ride away (would have walked it, but the train station security strongly advised against it). The metro is just around the corner. HOWEVER, this hotel was not quiet at all, and repeated complaints to management resulted... More

High points: - nice view (we were on 18th floor), - reasonably quiet, - comfortable bed - good-sized room - we had 2 cribs inside ours and still had space to move around. (The cribs took some time to be delivered to our room; fortunately, we weren't in a rush.) - great restaurant - very convenient to university city Low... More

I was looking for a conveniently located hotel in central Phl at a great rate. The rooms were comfortably appointed and I had a great city view. I rode the train from the airport to the main station and walked the few short blocks. The bed was very comfortable, room was quiet and I loved the restaurant. Super noodles. Walked... More

This hotel also caters to family who have a child in Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia(CHoP). Very clean room, professional staff, no issues. Hotel is close enough to CHoP, U Penn and Drexel U that you can walk, safely, anywhere. Free internet on in-room computer. Front desk staff guided us to places we needed to get to. We don't always stay... More

Not on par with other Sheraton hotels for luxury or style. The interior is getting tired and needs a full remodel, not the attempted face lift. The high point of this hotel is it's location to the Penn Campus. The rooms that include the lounge for refreshments and continental breakfast were also a very nice surprise. I really appreciated being... More

1. Location The location was not bad. I heard some traffic, but it did not interfere with my sleep at night. There is a subway station within a few blocks of the hotel. In addition, there is a drug store (CVS) which is just a few blocks away which you can walk to. I chose this hotel because it was... More
