Stayed for a weekend getaway. Enjoyed everything. Nice place (stayed on 17th floor which is Starwood preferred room, I think). Had a nice city view and a nice LCD high def TV. Breakfast was included in our package and it was a full breakfast from a menu. Close enough to walk to nice restaurants. Parking was an added $20 per... more

Stayed here for one night. It is close to the 30th St. Philadelphia train station ( which has Rental Car companies located right in the station - hop off the Amtrak train and into your rental car). Hotel is right across from a Chinese restaurant, Pizza place and a WaWa food store - decent for a cheap lunch , snack... more

If you want to stay downtown, this is the place. I was there on my business and had to be all over the area, and everything was on walking distance or public transportation was right there . The Lobby area was very nice and the desk staff polite. Customer service is just great! People are very friendly. They know how... more

This hotel is a bargain option for "full service" lodging in shooting distance to downtown Philly, and very well located for Penn, Drexel or the Philly Zoo. The common-area and dining-room vibe is very Holiday Inn. The rooms are spacious but nothing special. A particular annoyance for late spring -- the hotel has a big business in proms! Those prom... more

I booked this through hotwire and got a relatively good deal, especially with last minute booking on hotwire <$100. I've stayed here before and it was really good and I loved the area. Some things to note on your trip here: 1) This is a college area, so If you're a older couple, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for you.... more

We got this room for about $100 on Hotwire. We stayed one night and I would say we had an okay stay. Nothing to write home about. The room was small, but the beds were really comfy. The carpeting was stained, and little things like the wallpaper peeling in the bathroom makes me think this place needs a little remodeling.... more

We tend to avoid Sheratons and Hiltons. We find them to be overpriced for what they offer. We stayed at the Sheraton University City because of visiting U Penn, a short walk from the hotel. The check-in was the best part of the stay. The woman who helped us was the most professional and courteous front desk person we ever... more

Pros: Clean, nicely appointed rooms, free wireless, large screen TV, Beds were very comfortable. Quiet (apart from the occasional siren from the street). Incorrect incidental charges to my Visa were removed as promised (I had to catch a train, so I didn't have time to see that it was resolved in person). Staff were friendly and helpful. Fridge in the... more

I would highly recommend this hotel to visitors to the University of Pennsylvania. It is comfortably furnished, clean, well located, and a great value. There is convenient self parking at a reasonable price. The staff is friendly and helpful. more

Very average hotel at best. Rooms need serious updating. Housekeeping staff constantly knocking on door. Disappointed that, while the club lounge is down, they did not take care of their frequent starwood guests. Typically they would offer a free breakfast in their restaurant, at other starwood properties. Not so at this location. The food at the hotel is a plus... more
